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.

Suha Atiyeh on How Photography Should Serve the Experience, Not Control It
-
A Perspective on Creative Presence in Contemporary Photography
Washington DC, US, 1st February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, In an era where photography is increasingly shaped by trends, presets, and performance metrics, Suha Atiyeh offers a counterpoint rooted in restraint, attentiveness, and human connection. Based in Washington, DC, Suha Atiyeh approaches photography as a practice of observation rather than orchestration. Her work reflects a belief that meaningful images are created when the photographer supports the experience unfolding in front of the lens, instead of directing or interrupting it.

This philosophy has resonated with clients and collaborators who value authenticity over spectacle. Suha Atiyeh argues that when photography becomes overly controlled, the emotional and contextual truth of a moment is often diminished. The role of the photographer, in her view, is not to dominate the environment but to respond to it thoughtfully.
Reconsidering Control in Modern Photography
Contemporary photography culture often prioritizes precision, visual uniformity, and technical dominance. While these elements have their place, Suha Atiyeh believes that an excessive focus on control can distance both the subject and the photographer from the experience itself. When every detail is premeditated, the image may be technically sound but emotionally hollow.
Suha Atiyeh encourages a different approach, one that allows space for unpredictability. By relinquishing the need to manage every variable, photographers can remain present and responsive. This presence enables images to reflect not only what something looked like, but how it felt to be there.
Photography as an Act of Participation
For Suha Atiyeh, photography is not a detached act of documentation. It is a form of participation that requires emotional intelligence, patience, and humility. Rather than imposing a narrative, the photographer becomes part of the environment, observing subtle shifts in expression, movement, and atmosphere.
This mindset places trust at the center of the creative process. When subjects feel unobserved rather than scrutinized, they are more likely to exist naturally within the frame. Suha Atiyeh notes that some of the most resonant images emerge when subjects forget about the camera altogether.
Letting the Experience Lead
Suha Atiyeh emphasizes that photography should adapt to the experience, not reshape it for the sake of an image. This principle applies across genres, whether documenting people, spaces, or transitional moments. By allowing experiences to unfold without interruption, the resulting images retain a sense of honesty that cannot be manufactured.
This approach also challenges the idea that every moment needs to be optimized for visual impact. According to Suha Atiyeh, restraint is often more powerful than embellishment. A quiet moment, when handled with care, can communicate depth more effectively than a highly stylized scene.
Moving Away from Performative Imagery
The rise of social platforms has influenced how photography is consumed and created. Images are often evaluated by their immediate visual appeal rather than their lasting emotional resonance. Suha Atiyeh cautions against allowing this dynamic to dictate creative choices.
Instead of producing images designed for rapid consumption, Suha Atiyeh advocates for work that rewards prolonged viewing. Photography that serves the experience invites the viewer to slow down, observe, and connect with what is happening within the frame.
A Practice Grounded in Awareness
Suha Atiyeh’s perspective reflects a broader commitment to intentional creativity. Her process prioritizes listening, adaptability, and respect for context. Technical skill remains important, but it functions as a foundation rather than the focal point.
By centering the experience, Suha Atiyeh positions photography as a collaborative and responsive art form. This philosophy challenges photographers to reconsider their role, shifting from controller to witness.
About Suha Atiyeh
Suha Atiyeh is a Washington, DC based photographer whose work is guided by an experience-first philosophy. With a focus on authenticity, presence, and emotional awareness, Suha Atiyeh creates images that reflect real moments without excessive intervention. Her approach emphasizes observation over direction and values connection over control. Through a thoughtful and restrained creative process, Suha Atiyeh continues to contribute to conversations around intentional photography and the evolving role of the photographer in contemporary visual culture.

Jiani Luo Advances a Systems-Based Approach to Marketing in the U.S. AI-Driven Economy
Wyoming, US, 1st February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, As generative AI becomes embedded in how consumers discover information and evaluate choices, the U.S. marketing landscape is undergoing a structural shift. In one of the world’s most competitive and algorithm-driven consumer markets, Jiani Luo has emerged as a practitioner advancing a systems-based approach to marketing—one designed for environments where intelligent platforms increasingly influence discovery, comparison, and recommendation.
Rather than treating AI as an efficiency tool for content production or media optimization, Luo’s work addresses a more fundamental challenge: how marketing strategy must evolve when brands are first evaluated by systems before they reach consumers. This perspective has shaped how organizations approach brand growth in the U.S. market, where platform dynamics, AI-assisted search, and fragmented media ecosystems demand greater strategic coherence.
From Campaign Execution to Marketing Architecture
Through sustained work in the U.S. market, Luo has contributed to a shift away from campaign-centric marketing toward marketing architecture—the design of structures that support long-term brand performance across platforms, algorithms, and decision environments.
She emphasizes that in highly automated markets such as the United States, traditional advantages based on creative volume, channel saturation, or short-term optimization are increasingly transient. In their place, durable performance depends on three interrelated capabilities:
-
System legibility, ensuring that brand positioning remains clear and interpretable across AI-powered discovery and recommendation systems
-
Consistency of trust signals, allowing credibility to accumulate across touchpoints rather than resetting with each campaign
-
Decision-context alignment, connecting brand presence to specific usage and purchase scenarios instead of abstract reach metrics
This approach reframes marketing as an operating system rather than a sequence of promotional events.
Applying AI-Aware Strategy in the U.S. Market
Luo’s methodology has been applied across a range of U.S.-based brand initiatives, spanning food and beverage, beauty, home and lifestyle, and family entertainment. Her work supports brands navigating the structural demands of the American market, where competition is high and algorithmic mediation plays a growing role in consumer choice.
In the food and beverage sector, marketing systems informed by her approach have supported Haidilao (U.S.) and HEYTEA (U.S.) in strengthening brand clarity and decision-path coherence for U.S. consumers. These efforts focused on aligning brand signals with local expectations and platform-driven discovery behavior, enabling more sustainable engagement beyond short-term traffic spikes.
In consumer goods and lifestyle, initiatives for Qbedding and Maiko Matcha emphasized semantic consistency and channel coordination, improving brand recognition and reliability within AI-influenced search and recommendation environments.
In beauty, the “I Love My Culture” initiative for WEI Beauty demonstrated how cultural positioning can function as a structural asset in the U.S. market. Rather than pursuing short-lived virality, the program established durable relevance among multicultural consumer communities through consistent narrative design and community alignment.
In experience-driven categories, including FunZ Trampoline Park and Nova Trampoline Park, Luo’s approach informed how brand information, local presence, and consumer decision paths were structured to support measurable improvements in visitation and engagement across U.S. locations.
Redefining Marketing Objectives in an AI-Mediated Environment
Luo notes that as AI increasingly participates in early-stage evaluation—screening, ranking, and comparison—the objective of marketing in the U.S. market is no longer simply to maximize exposure. Instead, success depends on a brand’s ability to remain consistently interpretable, credible, and contextually relevant within intelligent systems over time.
In this environment, AI does not reduce differentiation; it amplifies it. Brands that invest in coherent structure and long-term signal integrity gain disproportionate visibility, while those reliant on fragmented tactics face diminishing returns.
Shaping Sustainable Growth in the U.S. Market
As AI continues to redefine how value is assessed and choices are formed, Jiani Luo remains focused on advancing marketing as a strategic discipline grounded in structure, systems, and long-term relevance. By integrating AI-aware thinking, GEO-informed growth models, and cross-cultural strategy, her work supports brands seeking sustainable performance in the U.S. market.
In a landscape where attention is no longer the sole constraint, Luo’s perspective underscores a central principle of modern marketing: brands that are structurally understood are the ones most likely to endure.
