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.

Rowdy Oxford Calls on Corporate America to Redefine Leadership Accountability in an Era of Relentless Disruption

Published

on

Canton, Michigan, 10 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Rowdy Oxford, a military veteran, an emergency response strategist, and a business development leader with JD Martin, is calling for a national reset in how corporations define accountability. He believes many companies still depend on outdated structures that no longer match the pace of modern disruption. His view is that the world has shifted, yet leadership expectations have not.

Oxford argues that the core challenge is not new technology or changing markets. It is not global instability either. The real problem is a leadership culture that was built for a calmer and more predictable environment. He states that organizations continue to measure leaders with old metrics even though stability is no longer the norm. He wants leaders to be judged in ways that reflect today’s realities.

Accountability Has Become Performance Theatre

Oxford believes many organizations now operate under the illusion of accountability. He explains that leaders appear responsible, but they are often evaluated in ways that do not match real conditions. Quarterly targets and routine reports give the impression of progress. He warns that these tools focus on short bursts of performance instead of long-term stability.

He says many leaders receive praise for short-term wins even though they have not prepared their teams for future disruption. He believes this creates a form of performance theatre. Leaders focus on optics instead of substance. They manage crises as they arise instead of building systems that can withstand pressure.

The Disruption Era Demands a New Leadership Contract

Rowdy Oxford believes a modern leader must show foresight, connection, and resilience. He says accountability must include the ability to anticipate change. He explains that leaders must read signals earlier and prepare their teams for future pressure. He believes that a leader who reacts too late is not meeting the demands of today’s environment.

He says leaders must also show they can build strong relationships. He learned in emergency coordination that no team succeeds alone. He explains that communication fails when departments operate in isolation. He believes accountability should include the strength of internal and external partnerships. He also believes leaders must show they can create trust across different groups.

Oxford says resilience is the final measure. He explains that systems either work during disruption or they break. He believes this outcome reflects leadership quality. He wants resilience to be measured as seriously as risk or profitability. He says companies should not evaluate leaders only when conditions are normal. He believes stress tests reveal the truth about leadership.

The Cost of Outdated Leadership Models

Oxford warns that companies that cling to old models face a serious risk. He explains that modern disruption is constant. He says outdated accountability structures create blind spots. He believes these blind spots lead to fractured communication and slow decision-making. He explains that they also contribute to burnout and confusion among employees.

He says companies lose vast amounts of money because their leadership models were designed for a different era. He warns that many organizations cannot keep up with the speed of change. He believes this mismatch places them at a disadvantage. He says the future will reward companies that adapt and penalize those that resist change.

A Call for Courage at the Executive Level

Oxford believes the shift he describes requires courage. He says leaders must be willing to acknowledge what is not working. He explains that they must let go of systems that create comfort but block progress. He believes accountability means taking responsibility for the entire organization. He says leaders must support teams before disruption arrives, not after damage is done.

He believes organizations that embrace modern accountability will thrive in uncertain times. He warns that more adaptive competitors will overtake those who avoid this shift. He urges executives to act now rather than wait for another crisis to force change.

Beyond the Balance Sheet: Lisa Doverspike on Evolving Leadership for the Modern Family Enterprise

Published

on

Canton, Michigan, 10 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The success of a family enterprise historically has been measured by one simple metric: financial performance. If the numbers were strong, the leadership was considered strong. But families today are asking a broader set of questions , ones that focus on clarity, unity, communication, and long-term stewardship just as much as quarterly results.

In this environment, technical skill alone isn’t enough. Families want leaders who can build systems, support people, and understand the human dynamics that determine whether a legacy thrives or fractures.

Lisa Doverspike, CEO of a multigenerational family enterprise, is one of the leaders who has reshaped this model. Her approach blends disciplined financial thinking with a deep commitment to human development,  demonstrating that modern leadership requires both insight and empathy.

Why the Traditional Model No Longer Works

The old model , the numbers-only leader who manages everything from a distance , no longer meets the needs of modern families. While financial stewardship remains essential, strong leadership now requires a deeper understanding of communication, alignment, and shared purpose.

Today’s families often look for guidance on:
• how to stay unified across multiple generations
• how to articulate their values and goals clearly
• how to maintain continuity during times of change
• how to prepare the next generation for responsibility and leadership

Meeting these needs requires a leader who can navigate both the technical and human sides of the enterprise with equal fluency.

Where Finance Meets Human Insight

Lisa’s background in Organizational Psychology, Business Taxation, Estate and Succession Planning for ultra-high-net-worth families, and Operational Leadership and Management gives her a perspective well-suited to today’s family enterprises. She approaches leadership through two complementary lenses:

  1. Rigorous Analytical Discipline
    Her financial foundation ensures that capital, risk, and strategy are managed with precision. Leading complex investments requires clear thinking, well-designed systems, and a deep understanding of how markets function.

  2. Human-Centered Guidance
    Equally important is her focus on people , building strong teams, supporting thoughtful communication, and helping families articulate and align around shared values. Mentorship and clarity are central to her approach.

By combining these strengths, she shows that operational excellence and people-first leadership reinforce one another.

Redefining Success: Clarity, Stewardship, and Growth

Modern leadership is less about directives and more about creating alignment. It means giving people the context, structure, and support they need to contribute meaningfully.

The most effective leaders today focus on three pillars:
• Clarity of Purpose , Before decisions are made, the “why” must be understood. Helping families and teams identify their shared priorities builds focus and reduces friction.
• Holistic Stewardship , Stewardship extends beyond managing assets. It includes preserving the values, stories, and principles that create continuity across generations.
• Human Development , Strong enterprises invest in their people. Mentorship, professional development, and clear communication prepare the next generation to lead with confidence and competence.

An Invitation to Lead Differently

The future of family leadership is not about abandoning financial rigor , it’s about elevating the standards that support long-term continuity. Modern enterprises require leaders who can manage complexity with clarity, maintain alignment through change, and support the wellbeing of both the organization and the people connected to it.

Lisa Doverspike’s work offers a model for this evolution. By combining analytical strength with human understanding, she shows that the stories behind the numbers matter just as much as the numbers themselves.

For families and organizations navigating a changing world, the message is simple and steady:
Look beyond the balance sheet. Build systems that support people. And measure success in ways that endure across generations.
