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.

A New Frontier in Emotional AI

Founded by former Microsoft AI engineers, Neura has established its core competency in “Emotional AI,” a technology designed to understand and interpret human emotions and conversational contexts. The startup recently garnered significant industry attention after securing strategic investments from NE-YO himself and Mario Nawfal, a prominent global entrepreneur and media influencer.

Unlike conventional Q&A chatbots, the AI developed by Neura is characterized by its ability to remember a user’s emotional shifts and the overall flow of previous dialogues to provide more personalized responses. Internal testing has demonstrated the technology’s high performance, recording over 90% accuracy in emotion recognition and a long-term user retention rate exceeding 70%.

 

The Digital Twin Project

The centerpiece of this collaboration is the NE-YO Digital Twin project. This initiative utilizes Neura’s technology to create an AI character based on the artist’s unique voice, speech patterns, and emotional expressions. The project aims to provide fans with an immersive experience, allowing them to engage in realistic conversations with the digital persona of the artist.

 

Expansion Beyond Entertainment

Neura plans to expand the application of its emotional AI beyond the entertainment sector into fields where emotional interaction is critical, such as education, mental health care, and wellness.

Furthermore, the company is committed to a decentralized architecture, emphasizing user data ownership and transparency. This approach seeks to transform users from mere platform consumers into active participants within the ecosystem.

“While emotional recognition AI is technically challenging to implement, it is a pivotal technology that will redefine the relationship between humans and AI,” noted an industry insider. “Neura represents a rare case that successfully balances technical prowess with mass-market appeal”.

From “Frame Sync” to “Silicon Consensus”: Tatakai Unveils POBS Protocol to Solve Web3 Gaming’s Real-Time Latency and Fairness Dilemma

Published

By

Tokyo, Japan, 14th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, In the traditional gaming world, competitive fairness is enforced by a “black box”—the centralized server. Whether it is a frame-perfect flash in League of Legends or a micro-intensive maneuver in StarCraft, the industry relies on a technology called “Frame Synchronization” to ensure every player sees the same reality at the exact same millisecond.  

However, as the industry moves toward Web3, this “Holy Grail” of synchronization has hit a wall: the inherent latency of blockchain and the transparency deficit of private servers. Recently, Tatakai, the open-world RPG backed by Tencent, YGG, Immutable, and Metis, announced its integration with Tatakai Protocol, a Proof of Battle Sync (POBS) protocol—a breakthrough designed to bring industrial-grade fairness to the decentralized arena.

Bridging the 60Hz Gap: What is POBS?

The primary friction in Web3 gaming has always been the “on-chain bottleneck.” Traditional blockchains confirm transactions in seconds, while competitive gameplay operates at 60Hz (60 frames per second).  

The POBS Protocol bridges this gap by decoupling game logic from state storage and re-coupling it with a decentralized consensus unit. Unlike traditional models that struggle with “lag” or “desync,” POBS samples game frames at a rate of 0.0167 seconds, matching the limits of human perception. This allows for high-intensity, “twitch-reflex” combat within Tatakai’s procedurally generated volcanic islands and cyber ruins, all while maintaining 100% on-chain verifiability. 

Why POBS Matters to All: Beyond the Hype

For the Web3 community and native game players, the POBS protocol is not just a technical upgrade—it is a fundamental protection of their digital sovereignty and financial stakes:  

Anti-Cheating as a Financial Safeguard: In Web3, your Hero NFT and equipment are valuable assets. In traditional games, “lag switches” or memory hacks can rob you of a victory. Every frame is verified by decentralized nodes. Any attempt to alter cooldowns or movement speeds is instantly flagged and rejected by the smart contract. Your wins are secured by math, not a moderator’s whim.  

Transparent Competition with Online Prize Pools: For competitive players chasing ranked rewards and bounties, POBS provides an auditable “State Trajectory.” Every battle result can be replayed and verified independently on-chain, ensuring that rewards are distributed with 100% transparency.  

Asset Performance Stability: By leveraging platforms like Metis, Merkle Trees and Memolabs’ decentralized storage, POBS ensures that the “market value” of your skill-based progression isn’t hindered by network congestion.  

The launch of POBS follows Tatakai’s successful $7 million angel round, signaling a shift in the market toward projects that prioritize deep technical foundations over speculative hype. As Tatakai rolls out its open-world alpha, the POBS protocol will serve as the invisible backbone, ensuring that in the world of Tatakai, the only thing that determines your fate is your skill.
