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

Published

5 years ago

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

KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected The True Life Companies as a KeyCrew Verified Expert.

United States, 1st Jan 2026 – KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected The True Life Companies as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. The firm will contribute data-driven analysis on attainable housing development, real estate investment strategies, and market solutions addressing America’s housing affordability crisis.

KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.

The True Life Companies bring a mission-driven approach to solving one of America’s most pressing challenges. As a real estate investment and development firm, the company specializes in transforming underutilized infill properties and vacant lots into vibrant housing opportunities nationwide, managing the entire development process from parcel identification through zoning, entitlements, site planning, and negotiations. Through their homebuilding subsidiary, Homes Built for America, they have the unique capability to deliver communities from concept to completion.

Led by founder and CEO Scott Clark, The True Life Companies has positioned itself at the intersection of profitable real estate investment and social impact. Clark’s vision emerged from recognizing the massive underinvestment in residential real estate following the 2008 financial crisis, which created today’s severe supply-demand dislocation. With approximately 68 million millennials and subsequent generations entering their home-buying years against a backdrop of insufficient housing inventory, the company focuses on markets with the most significant supply shortages.

“We’re not just building houses—we’re creating economic opportunity and helping restore access to the American Dream of homeownership,” said Scott Clark. “When moving trucks pull up to a community we’ve helped create, those families are starting a journey of wealth accumulation and stability that was becoming increasingly out of reach for their generation. That’s what drives our team every day.”

The True Life Companies’ strategy centers on four core tenets: controlling assets rather than owning them, which is designed to reduce capital risk; diversifying the firm’s portfolio across multiple geographic regions; diversifying across many different projects simultaneously; and deploying capital consistently over time. This disciplined approach is designed to help the firm navigate market cycles while continuously delivering attainable housing solutions. The company operates in markets across California, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, Utah, and Seattle, with more than 5,000 home sites already delivered to market.

Clark brings decades of real estate expertise to the company’s mission. His recognition that the housing affordability crisis stems from systematic underbuilding rather than temporary market fluctuations has shaped the company’s long-term strategic vision. With a team of 60 employees distributed across key markets nationwide, The True Life Companies combines local market expertise with scalable processes.

“I’m honored that KeyCrew has selected us as a Verified Expert,” said Scott Clark. “The housing affordability crisis isn’t going away – it’s a fundamental supply-demand issue that requires sustained investment and creative solutions. We’re excited to share our insights on how strategic real estate investment can deliver both strong returns and meaningful social impact, creating opportunities for the next generation to experience the wealth-building benefits of homeownership that previous generations took for granted.”

Scott Clark’s Areas of Expertise Include:

  • Attainable Housing Development – Strategic approaches to increasing housing supply in high-demand markets
  • Real Estate Investment Strategy – Four-pillar framework for risk-adjusted strategy in residential development
  • Supply-Demand Market Analysis – Identifying and capitalizing on geographic markets with critical housing shortages
  • Underutilized Property Transformation – Converting infill sites and vacant lots into opportunities for thriving residential communities
  • Zoning & Entitlement Navigation – Streamlining regulatory processes to accelerate housing delivery
  • Homebuilder-Landowner Partnerships – Creating win-win structures that strengthen supply chains
