Behind High Energy Consumption of Blockchain: PoS Consensus Mechanism To Be A Solution

Published

on

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.

NGTeco Reimagines Workforce Management for SMBs: Professional Biometrics Without the Enterprise Price Tag

Published

on

United States, 18th Mar 2026, – While large corporations have long enjoyed the benefits of high-end biometric security, many small business owners are still stuck choosing between outdated paper logs or expensive, contract-heavy software. NGTeco is changing that narrative. Today, the company reaffirms its commitment to providing 100,000+ small businesses worldwide with the tools they need to manage their teams—minus the complexity and hidden costs.

Bridging the Gap for the Modern Shop Owner

For a local retail store or a busy clinic, every minute counts. NGTeco’s “Sophisticated Simplicity” philosophy focuses on creating an ecosystem where technology supports the business owner, rather than becoming another task to manage. By replacing manual punch card systems with Cloud Time Clock TC1 terminals, NGTeco helps managers reclaim their time and eliminate the constant headaches associated with manual payroll processing.
 

Reliable Technology Built for Real-World Workplaces

At the heart of NGTeco’s success is its industry-vetted Visible Light Facial Recognition series. These aren’t just gadgets; they are workhorses built for busy, high-traffic environments. Using advanced algorithms, the systems recognize employees in under a second—with flagship models clocking in at an impressive 0.3s. This technology is optimized to perform in diverse lighting and even while staff are wearing masks, ensuring a fast, hands-free “walk-through” experience that keeps the morning rush moving smoothly.

Enterprise-Grade Security Without the Monthly Bill

Data privacy is a top priority in 2026, and it shouldn’t be a luxury. NGTeco hosts its infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS), protecting employee records with the same encryption standards (TLS 1.2 and AES 256-bit) used by global financial institutions.

However, what truly sets NGTeco apart in a crowded market is its stance on transparency. “We believe you should own your hardware and your data,” says a spokesperson for NGTeco. Unlike competitors who lock essential features behind a paywall, NGTeco maintains a no-mandatory-subscription model. Business owners get lifetime access to core features, including automatic hour calculation and mobile reporting via the NGTeco Office App, right out of the box.

A Specialized Vision for the Future

As NGTeco grows its footprint in North America, its focus remains narrow and deep: mastering the “Attendance” niche. By choosing to do one thing exceptionally well, NGTeco is helping a new generation of entrepreneurs build more resilient, tech-forward businesses.
