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.

By

Kenya, 15th Nov 2025 – Imara Avocado Factory has announced a transformative partnership with farmers in Makueni County following its active participation in the Makueni Avocado Farmers Day 2025. The initiative, led by Director Nelson Kamwaro, underscores the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening Kenya’s avocado value chain and empowering smallholder farmers to thrive in a competitive global market.

During the event, Imara Avocado Factory unveiled a major program designed to purchase avocados directly from farmers while providing essential financial and agronomic support. This strategic move aims to improve fruit quality, increase yields, and ensure farmers receive fair compensation for their produce.

“Our goal is to ensure that Makueni farmers not only have a reliable market for their produce but also the tools and knowledge to grow premium-quality avocados that meet global standards,” said Nelson Kamwaro, Director of Imara Avocado Factory. “By investing in farmers, we invest in the future of Kenya’s avocado industry.”

Through this initiative, Imara Avocado Factory will focus on comprehensive farmer support systems, including:

  • Direct Purchase at Fair Prices: The company will buy avocados straight from registered farmers in Makueni, ensuring transparent pricing and eliminating middlemen who often reduce farmer profits.
  • Funding for Quality Seedlings: To help farmers expand their orchard capacity, Imara Avocado Factory will provide financial assistance for acquiring certified, high-quality avocado seedlings. This ensures improved yields and enhances resilience against pests and diseases.
  • Agronomy Training and Technical Support: Farmers will receive expert guidance on modern cultivation practices, post-harvest handling, irrigation, crop nutrition, and sustainability. This training aims to equip farmers with practical solutions for boosting both productivity and fruit quality.

The partnership strongly aligns with Imara Avocado Factory’s mission to build a sustainable, inclusive, and globally competitive avocado sector—one that elevates smallholder farmers, enhances processing capacity, and increases Kenya’s footprint in the international avocado market.

With demand for avocados rising rapidly across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Kenya is uniquely positioned to become a world leader in avocado production. Imara Avocado Factory believes that bridging the gap between farmers and processors is essential to unlocking this potential. By creating reliable market structures and supporting farmers at the grassroots level, the company aims to help Makueni County—and Kenya at large—realize the full economic benefits of avocado farming.

“Strong partnerships with farmers are the backbone of every successful agricultural value chain,” Kamwaro added. “At Imara Avocado Factory, we are committed to building lasting relationships that create opportunities, support livelihoods, and contribute to national economic development.”

Imara Avocado Factory is also exploring long-term collaborations with other counties and agricultural agencies to promote sustainable farming, improve traceability, and strengthen Kenya’s reputation as a source of premium avocado products.

About Imara Avocado Factory

Imara Avocado Factory is a leading avocado processing company in Kenya, specializing in the production of high-quality avocado products for both local and international markets. The company works closely with farmers to promote sustainable farming, fair trade practices, and innovation in agricultural processing.
