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.

TRON Founder Justin Sun Shares Outlook on Bitcoin, Stablecoins and Global Finance at Bitcoin Asia 2026
Geneva, Switzerland, August 31st, 2026, FinanceWire
Geneva, Switzerland, August 31st, 2026, NewsDirect
TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), participated in Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong, where TRON Founder Justin Sun joined two fireside discussions on Bitcoin’s evolution, institutional adoption and the changing structure of global digital finance.
On August 27, Sun joined Bonnie Chang, Founder and Host of Bonnie Blockchain, on the Nakamoto Stage for “The Globalization of Bitcoin Capital.” The discussion focused on Bitcoin’s growing role in global capital markets as access expands through investment products, corporate treasuries and institutional infrastructure.
Sun said Bitcoin has moved well beyond its early years as an experimental technology and now plays a more established role as a global monetary asset and store of value. He also said Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle could become less pronounced as institutional flows, derivatives, global liquidity and macroeconomic conditions play a greater role in shaping the market.
“TRON is highly related to daily stablecoin payments,” said Sun. “The network continues to grow, with more than $94 billion in USDT on TRON, driven by real-world usage and continued growth across the ecosystem.”
The conversation also examined the relationship between Bitcoin and stablecoins. Sun described Bitcoin and stablecoins as complementary, with Bitcoin serving as a store of value while stablecoins are used for payments and settlement. He pointed to sustained stablecoin activity on TRON as evidence that demand for digital dollars can remain strong regardless of broader crypto market conditions.
Sun also addressed longer-term technological shifts affecting blockchain networks, including quantum computing and AI. He highlighted TRON’s work on post-quantum signature technology on the Nile testnet and said the industry should begin preparing for future security risks as quantum computing advances. On AI, Sun said autonomous agents could eventually become active participants in the digital economy, creating demand for systems that allow AI agents to hold assets, make payments and interact directly with financial applications. He said blockchain’s transparent and verifiable infrastructure could become more relevant as AI systems gain greater economic autonomy.
Later that afternoon, Sun joined Sean Hagan of BMTV for a second fireside discussion at The Deep, Bitcoin Asia’s VIP stage, where he discussed how his views on Bitcoin have evolved, opportunities across digital assets and Bitcoin’s potential role in global finance.

Fingerprint Boston Launches Remote Fingerprint Processing Service for Americans Living Abroad
Fingerprint Boston in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, now accepts FD-258 fingerprint cards mailed from overseas, inspects and prepares them for submission, and assists with apostille, translation and return shipping so Americans living abroad complete a background check requirement without traveling to the United States.
Tewksbury, MA, United States, 31st Aug 2026 — Fingerprint Boston, a fingerprinting and document services office in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, has launched a remote fingerprint processing service for United States citizens who live outside the country and need an FBI background check for purposes such as foreign residency, work authorization, professional licensing or adoption.

The service allows applicants to complete the fingerprint capture step where they live and mail the card to Massachusetts rather than traveling to the United States. According to the US Department of State, embassies and consulates abroad do not provide fingerprinting services, which has left many Americans overseas without a clear path to complete the requirement.
How the service works
Applicants have their fingerprints taken on a standard FD-258 card by a local provider in their country of residence, typically a police station or a private fingerprinting service. They then mail the completed card to Fingerprint Boston’s office in Tewksbury, MA. On arrival, technicians inspect the card for print quality and completeness. Cards that pass inspection are scanned on a high-resolution fingerprint scanner and converted to digital format. Fingerprint Boston prepares the fingerprint materials for submission and assists applicants with the FBI background-check process.
When the applicant’s destination country requires additional steps, Fingerprint Boston coordinates the apostille processing and certified translation of the completed report. The company then ships the document package to the applicant’s address abroad.
Card inspection before submission
The company reports that the most common reason mailed cards fail is print quality, including smudged ridges, incomplete rolls, missing signatures and damage during shipping. Each card is checked before scanning, and applicants are notified if a new card is needed before the materials are prepared for submission.
Fingerprint Boston recommends that applicants request two complete card sets from their local provider and ship cards flat between rigid backing to limit damage in transit. Applicants are advised to confirm with the authority requesting the document whether an apostille, a translation or both are required.
“People living abroad were being told to fly home for a 15-minute appointment,” said Hanson Webb, owner of Fingerprint Boston. “The card can travel instead of the person. Our role is to ensure the card that arrives is accepted and to assist with the next steps.”
Webb has operated a document services business in Tewksbury since 2007. The office also provides Live Scan fingerprinting, FD-258 ink card capture, apostille coordination and certified translation for residents and employers in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
Full details on the remote service are available at https://fingerprintboston.com/fbi-background-check-apostille-abroad/. A guide for applicants on obtaining fingerprints while overseas is published at https://fingerprintboston.com/blog/how-to-get-fingerprinted-overseas-fbi-background-check/.

Phomemo M85 Redefines Portable Printing for Work and Travel
New York, New York, United States, 31st Aug 2026 – For professionals working from home, traveling for business, or moving between locations, access to full-size document printing can be limited by the portability of traditional printers. To address this need, Phomemo has introduced the M85 Portable Printer, combining A4 and Letter-size printing with a compact 1.6-pound design, a large touchscreen, 300 DPI resolution, inkless printing technology, and flexible connectivity for smartphones and computers.
A Large Touchscreen for More Direct Control
The feature that immediately stands out on the M85 is its large built-in touchscreen.
Rather than relying entirely on a smartphone or computer to control the printer, the M85 puts more information and functionality directly on the device. The touchscreen can display the printer’s real-time battery level, connection status, and paper position, helping users understand the printer’s status before starting a print job.
The touchscreen also supports template preview, editing, and direct printing. Frequently used documents, forms, receipts, or other materials can be uploaded as templates and accessed directly from the printer for repeated printing.
Users can also personalize the device with wallpaper, while multi-language support and built-in guides make the printer easier to navigate.
According to Phomemo, these features make the touchscreen more than just a visual feature. It helps the M85 function as a more independent printing device, reducing the need to constantly switch between the printer, phone, and computer.
For anyone who prints the same types of documents repeatedly, that can make everyday printing considerably simpler.

Full-Size Printing in a Portable Design
One of the biggest advantages of the Phomemo M85 is that it doesn’t force users to choose between full-size printing and portability.
The M85 supports US Letter and A4-sized printing, allowing users to print documents, contracts, invoices, forms, reports, and other full-size materials while away from a traditional printer. It also supports smaller paper formats, including 53mm, 80mm, and 110mm, giving users more flexibility for different printing needs.
Despite supporting full-size documents, the M85 weighs only 1.6 pounds and has a compact, folding-umbrella-sized design. It can easily fit into a backpack, work bag, or luggage, making it practical for people who regularly move between locations.
The built-in paper compartment adds another layer of convenience by keeping paper readily available inside the printer, so users don’t necessarily need to carry a separate stack of paper just to print a few documents.
For remote workers, business travelers, and small business owners, that combination can be particularly useful: full-size printing without carrying a full-size printer.

Flexible Connectivity for Mobile and Desktop Work
The M85 supports printing from Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth, while USB-C connectivity supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. This allows documents to be printed from smartphones or computers depending on the workflow.
The M85 is also compatible with commonly used file formats, including Word, Excel, PDF, JPG, and other major formats, making it suitable for a variety of everyday printing tasks.
Whether the document starts on a smartphone or a computer, the M85 is designed to make getting it onto paper relatively straightforward.
Inkless Printing for Work on the Go
The M85 uses inkless thermal printing technology, eliminating the need for traditional ink cartridges. This reduces the need to carry or replace ink when printing away from a traditional office setup.
The M85 is equipped with a 3500mAh battery that supports 200+ pages on a single charge, providing capacity for everyday printing without requiring users to stay close to a power outlet.
These features make the M85 suitable for a range of work and travel situations. Remote workers can use the printer when working from home, coworking spaces, or other locations, while business travelers can print contracts, forms, receipts, and meeting materials without relying on hotel business centers or local printing services. For small business owners, the M85 provides a convenient option for handling paperwork between locations, while its multiple paper sizes also support everyday personal tasks such as lists, schedules, notes, and travel documents.

More Portable Printing Options from Phomemo
The M85 is part of Phomemo’s broader range of portable printing solutions, with different models designed around different printing needs.
The M832D focuses on everyday document and photo printing, while the M08F offers a lightweight option for users who prioritize simple mobile printing. For users who prioritize faster printing and added flexibility, the G100 Pro offers printing speeds of up to 100mm/s, AirPrint support, and compatibility with multiple paper sizes.
Together, these options give users different ways to balance portability, printing format, speed, and functionality depending on how and where they print.

About Phomemo
Phomemo is a thermal printing brand focused on portable printing solutions for work, business, creativity, and everyday life. Its product lineup includes portable document printers, label printers, photo printers, and other compact printing solutions designed for users who need more flexibility than a traditional desktop printer can offer.
