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.

Executive Leader Aman Maharaj on Why Systems and Organization Define Sustainable Leadership
Canton, Michigan, 27th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Aman Maharaj is a senior executive with experience across energy, finance, and public policy. His work has focused on operations, governance, and large-scale coordination. Beyond that brief context, his views on systems and organization come from repeated exposure to what fails when structure is missing.

Across industries, leaders often mistake activity for progress. Teams move quickly, initiatives launch, and dashboards multiply. Yet outcomes stall. Maharaj argues the issue is rarely effort. It is the absence of systems that align people, decisions, and accountability. “Most organizations are busy,” Maharaj says. “Very few are organized. That gap shows up in missed deadlines, inconsistent decisions, and avoidable risk.”
Systems, in Aman Maharaj’s view, are not software tools or org charts. They are the rules that govern how work moves through an organization. They define who decides, how information flows, and what happens when something goes wrong. Without those rules, even talented teams struggle to perform consistently.
One common failure point is decision ownership. When authority is unclear, decisions slow down or multiply. Teams seek consensus where it is not needed and escalate routine issues. Aman Maharaj notes that effective systems do the opposite. They reduce friction by making responsibility explicit.
Another weakness is poor integration between functions. Strategy, operations, finance, and compliance often operate in parallel rather than in sequence. Maharaj has seen projects succeed on paper and fail in practice because systems were not designed to connect those functions. “Execution breaks when handoffs are vague,” he explains. “If one part of the organization cannot rely on another, speed disappears.”
Risk management is another area where organization matters more than intent. Many organizations rely on individual judgment rather than structured controls. Aman Maharaj argues that this approach works only until scale is reached. Systems exist to protect institutions from their own growth. He emphasizes that structure should not be confused with rigidity. Strong systems allow for flexibility because they remove uncertainty. When teams know the boundaries, they can move faster within them.
The same principles apply in public policy and regulated environments. Maharaj points out that policy goals often fail not because they are flawed, but because implementation systems are fragmented. Agencies pursue aligned objectives through disconnected processes. The result is delay and inconsistency. “Alignment is not a meeting,” he says. “It is a system that forces coordination.”
Technology, Aman Maharaj cautions, is often mistaken for organization. Tools can amplify good systems, but they cannot replace them. Without clear processes, technology simply accelerates dysfunction.
Leadership, in this framework, is less about inspiration and more about design. Leaders are responsible for building environments where good decisions are easy and bad decisions are hard. That work is rarely visible, but its absence is immediately felt.
Maharaj believes organizations will increasingly be evaluated on their operational maturity. As markets tighten and tolerance for error shrinks, systems will determine who remains stable and who does not. “Results come and go,” he says. “What lasts is whether the organization knows how to operate without constant intervention.”
For Maharaj, systems and organization are not back-office concerns. They are the core infrastructure of leadership. When done well, they allow people to perform at their best and organizations to endure.

EuropaNewswire LLC Launches Mastodon Based Editorial Photo Syndication, Signaling a New Era of Direct Media Distribution
New York, US, 27th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, EuropaNewswire LLC Launches Mastodon-Based Editorial Photo Syndication, Signaling a New Era of Direct Media DistributionNew York, NY — EuropaNewswire LLC, a New York–based editorial photography agency specializing in United Nations diplomacy, political affairs, and entertainment coverage, announced a strategic move into Mastodon and ActivityPub-based content distribution, positioning itself among the first photo agencies to use decentralized protocols to deliver editorial images directly to newsrooms, editors, and content buyers in real time.

Driven by the decline of microstock pricing and the growing disconnect between editorial creators and buyers, EuropaNewswire is abandoning legacy distribution models in favor of direct, protocol-level syndication. The company says ActivityPub provides an ideal framework for editorial licensing because it bypasses traditional gatekeepers, reduces latency, supports authenticated delivery, and enables verified media relationships without third-party intermediaries.
“Microstock is collapsing the economics of editorial photography,” said EuropaNewswire founder Luiz Rampelotto. “Platforms are paying pennies months later while newsrooms are demanding timely and verified coverage. Mastodon and ActivityPub allow us to ship images directly to the people who need them, without waiting for agencies or middle layers to approve, ingest, or monetize the work.”
EuropaNewswire’s new feed, launched at PhotoDesk.EuropaNewswire.com, operates as a dedicated editorial desk that pushes captions, IPTC-accurate metadata, licensing information, and credit lines to followers across federated Mastodon instances. Media buyers can engage directly for licensing, usage rights, and editorial requests, creating what the agency describes as a “direct-to-newsroom” model.
The initiative comes amid renewed attention on ActivityPub within the journalism sector. Multiple international outlets have begun experimenting with decentralized publishing to avoid algorithmic throttling, data extraction, and platform lock-in associated with mainstream social platforms.
Rampelotto believes the shift is only beginning. “Editorial photography has always depended on direct relationships,” he added. “The internet broke that for a decade, and ActivityPub is bringing it back. We expect other boutique agencies, independent photographers, and even major newsrooms to follow.”
EuropaNewswire will continue to use decentralized publishing alongside its existing website and direct licensing channels. The agency says long-term it intends to integrate ActivityPub notifications with picture desks, newsroom workflow tools, and licensing systems without relying on legacy wire services or microstock aggregators.
