Behind High Energy Consumption of Blockchain: PoS Consensus Mechanism To Be A Solution
The energy consumption of Blockchain
Recently, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, posted on Twitter saying that: Bitcoin can consume too much in mining and transaction process, such excessive fossil fuel consumption will result in negative impacts on the ecosystem. The Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also noticed the high power consumption problem in Blockchain technology. He presented that Ethereum would change its consensus mechanism from PoW to PoS to reduce the power consumption caused by the mining process in PoW-based technologies like the Bitcoin. From a global view, energy consumption issues are concerned by an increasing number of countries. To urge the efficient power usage, many countries and organizations have set up environmental protection plans, such as the UN’s SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) and the US carbon neutrality, etc.
In this context, the future development of a technology need to consider the sustainable development and environmental friendliness as one of the important metrics and goals. As an emerging technology for privacy protection, Blockchain presents excellent protection capabilities. However, such capabilities rely on the large-scale computing resources and result in a large amount of power consumption. Part of the reasons for such high power consumption are due to the PoW (Proof of Work) consensus mechanism which has high demands on the performance of the Blockchain nodes.
Besides energy consumption, other concerns of the consensus mechanism
The technology of the base layer of the Blockchain has the advantages like anonymous, Immutable, decentralized and so on. To achieve these advantages, Blockchain enhances the privacy and protect the transaction process by increasing the cost of network participation. The core concept of the early-stage PoW consensus mechanism is based on the workload cost. The credibility need to be proved by the cost of a lot of work. In this case, the machines that maintain the ledgers (also referred to as mining nodes) need to continually crack complex math puzzles to obtain Bitcoin as rewards. This computing process not only needs to rely on a large amount of computing resources, but also sacrifices part of the scalability on the Blockchain to ensure safety. When it comes to the boosting growing of transaction volume, this mechanism will not be able to meet high-speed and large-scale processing demands. Based on such limitations of PoW, PoS (Proof of stake) is gaining more and more attention to work as a consensus mechanism with low resource consumption and guaranteed decentralization, safety and scalability.
In a PoS-based Blockchain system, nodes do not have to consume much power to compete for accounting rights. The priority of accounting rights is measured by the amount of stake holdings. In this way, the nodes no longer consume a large amount of electricity to calculate the hash functions, thereby solving the high energy consumption issues in PoW mechanism. In spite of the improved efficiency in PoS, the safety of the mechanism is affected. Therefore, in order to ensure the reliable operation of PoS, the researchers need to develop reliable algorithms from the trade-off among the decentralization, safety and scalability.
Unique advantages of PlatON PoS
With the issues caused by the PoW mechanism has been widely criticized, more and more Blockchain technologies inclined to choose or transit to the PoS-based consensus mechanisms. This results in a boosting growing of the PoS-based Blockchain frameworks in recent years. As the world leader in computing privacy area, PlatON has rooted and researched in privacy computing technologies many years. PlatON’s research and practice in consensus mechanisms are also forward-looking. The PPoS (PlatON PoS) consensus mechanism uses off-chain identity, credit mechanisms and procedural arrangements to provide a scheme to select a number of verification nodes from many participating nodes as fair and randomly as possible. Hence, PPoS can effectively inhibit bribery, collusion, etc., and reduce the consensus cost and improve the system scalability by optimizing technical details. Meanwhile, ensuring the decentralization and scalability, PlatON further enhances the system safety by combining the experiences in computing privacy area. The Alaya network based on PlatON PoS has been operating stably and efficiently for a long time, successfully solving the problem of over-centralization of the system, reducing network communication complexity and message complexity, improving consensus efficiency and the entire Blockchain transaction processing performance. In this case, the safety and liveness of the technology are verified. PlatON has been able to improve its PoS mechanism through its attention to every detail, continuous attempts, active exploration of cutting-edge areas, and forward-looking plans in the future development. Next step, PlatON will continue actively promoting the efficient network operation with high-quality code, providing efficient, high-availability, distributed and sustainable infrastructure applicable for diverse industrial and commercial use cases, and supporting the exchange of data flows in the global world.

Birmingham, Alabama, 6 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, For more than fifteen years, Nicholas Sgalitzer has been one of the most quietly influential forces guiding the technological evolution of the Southeastern United States. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, Nick has built a reputation not only as a seasoned tech expert, but as someone who genuinely understands how innovation can transform communities, empower businesses, and strengthen regional economies. His work blends deep technical expertise with a mission-driven approach, making him a standout figure in a landscape that is rapidly shifting toward digital-first thinking.
A Visionary Technologist with Deep Regional Roots
Nick’s journey began at Auburn University, where he earned a degree in Computer Science. From the earliest stages of his career, it was clear that he possessed an uncommon ability to break down complex problems and turn them into actionable solutions. His first role as a backend developer in the healthcare sector laid the foundation for his long-term focus on building systems that are both secure and scalable. Working directly with sensitive healthcare data sharpened his commitment to cybersecurity and reinforced the importance of infrastructure that can adapt to future demands.
By his late twenties, Nick’s leadership qualities were unmistakable. He transitioned quickly from developer to senior-level positions, gaining visibility as someone capable of guiding teams, improving systems, and introducing modern technologies into environments that had long operated on outdated tools. His early success demonstrated that innovation is not just about adopting new technologies, it’s about understanding people, processes, and the real-world challenges that organizations face.
Leading Digital Transformation Across the Southeast
In 2014, driven by the desire to bring modernization to a broader range of businesses, Nicholas founded Sgalitzer Technologies. From day one, the vision was clear: help companies across Alabama and the Southeast embrace the digital age with confidence. What started as a consulting firm soon evolved into a full-scale technology partner for organizations navigating everything from cloud migrations to AI integration.
Under Nick’s leadership, Sgalitzer Technologies has grown steadily, earning a reputation for excellence among both emerging startups and established Fortune 500 companies. His team doesn’t rely on one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, they dissect each client’s needs with precision, offering customized roadmaps that enhance productivity, reduce operational costs, and fortify digital security.
Cybersecurity remains one of Nick’s strongest areas of focus. As businesses across the country face rising cyber threats, Sgalitzer Technologies has become a trusted ally for firms seeking comprehensive security audits, risk assessments, and long-term protection strategies. Nick’s hands-on involvement ensures that every solution aligns with industry best practices without overwhelming clients who may be new to cybersecurity concepts. His ability to translate technical information into clear, understandable language is one of the reasons he is considered a trusted voice in the region’s tech ecosystem.

Press Release
Wall Street Focus: How the Collective Capital Alliance Accelerates OT MANAGEMENT’s Institutional Expansion
In an exclusive interview with Finance Today, Daniel John Impens, Strategic Partner at OT MANAGEMENT, LLC, outlined how the firm’s Collective Capital Alliance (CCA) initiative has pushed institutional growth and profitability to new highs. By relying on systematic intraday trading, disciplined collective execution, and a large-scale trader development pipeline, OT MANAGEMENT has surpassed traditional asset managers in efficiency, resilience, and capital turnover.
United States, 6th Dec 2025 – As market conditions shift and investment firms reassess structural models, OT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a registered investment advisory firm in the United States, continues refining its approach to intraday discipline, risk-managed execution and participant development. In a recent interview, Strategic Partner Daniel John Impens described how the Collective Capital Alliance (CCA) initiative has become a key part of the firm’s long-term institutional framework.
Impens explained that the initiative focuses on creating a systematic environment that minimizes overnight exposure and reduces sensitivity to macro volatility. “We emphasize shorter, measurable time windows that allow uncertainty to be managed more effectively,” he said. According to him, this discipline-oriented design aims to strengthen operational consistency across different market phases. Impens explained that the early development of CCA stemmed from a structural requirement to align analytical tools, market-monitoring processes and participant behavior under a unified operational model. This alignment, he said, was essential to reducing fragmentation and improving institutional consistency.
Impens added that the CCA framework incorporates layered discipline mechanisms. The first centers on structural confirmation, helping avoid premature decisions when key validation indicators are incomplete. The second involves methodical oversight processes designed to limit impulsive or emotionally driven behavior. “The intention is to build consistent analytical habits,” he said. “Technical alignment ensures that decisions follow a shared framework rather than fragmented interpretation.”
As part of the interview, Impens referenced an internal historical illustration (below) used in the firm’s educational materials—a comparison chart showing the firm’s past NAV movement alongside the long-term average return of the S&P 500 to support discussions on research methodology. The graphic, included as an analytical reference, The graphic, included as an analytical reference, depicts a period in which internal NAV rose at a significantly faster rate than the S&P 500’s historical average of approximately 16%. Impens stressed that the chart is for descriptive discussion only and not intended as a performance forecast or investment indication.
The conversation also highlighted a second visual used in OT MANAGEMENT’s internal research: a Federal Reserve policy flowchart—a conceptual framework used to help participants understand how various economic indicators (e.g. inflation trends, job-market data, and mixed economic signals) relate to FOMC’s rate-cut or wait-and-see decisions.
Impens noted that such frameworks help participants understand macro conditions without relying on speculative interpretation. “We encourage structured thinking—tools that help users interpret data in a consistent, disciplined way.” He also explained that CCA’s developmental ecosystem—combining structured training, psychological reinforcement and tool-based education—helps maintain alignment across a growing participant network.
Impens emphasized that CCA extends beyond strategy. It incorporates training, psychological reinforcement, and methodical pre-trade assessment. “Consistency at scale requires alignment,” he said. “Our role is to build a system that supports that alignment through education and structured processes.”
He added that synchronization is becoming increasingly important as markets evolve. “Traditional asset management often operates in separated channels,” Impens said. “What we are building is a coordinated approach that allows risk management, analysis, and execution to function more cohesively.”
Regarding the macro backdrop, Impens commented that firms capable of adapting to shifts in rate cycles and liquidity may be better positioned for structural opportunities. “Preparedness is more important than prediction,” he said. “CCA is about creating that readiness.”
He concluded by noting that the initiative is an ongoing developmental platform rather than a short-term directional project. “Institutional progression takes time. Our focus is sustainable structure, disciplined methodology, and coordinated engagement.”
