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.

Overview
Story
A young girl and an empress.
Bound by a shared desire for revenge, the two will shake the mightiest empire the world has ever known.
After losing her mother and being torn far from her homeland, a young girl named Sitara is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted lady from a family of scholars.
“If you study and become wise, no matter what trouble befalls you, you’ll know the best way forward.”
Deeply moved by the words of Fatima’s son, Muhammad, Sitara comes to understand the possibilities and importance of knowledge and begins to deepen her education.
She dreams that one day, she might catch up with Muhammad, who has set off on a journey in pursuit of wisdom…
Meanwhile, under the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan, the mighty Mongol Empire continues its unstoppable march, conquering nation after nation and expanding its influence across the world. Before long, the tides of history reach the city where Sitara lives.
After losing everything to Tolui, the empire’s Fourth Prince, and being taken captive, Sitara resolves to use the only thing she has left, her intellect, to infiltrate the royal court and bring down the empire from within.
Though a flame of revenge burns within her heart, Sitara outwardly devotes herself to serving the empire. One day, she has a fateful encounter with Toregene, the sixth wife of the Third Prince, Ogedei. Haunted by a tragic past of her own, Toregene too carries a deep hatred for the empire within her heart.
Sitara and Toregene, two women who were never meant to meet. The moment they join hands, the wheels of fate begin to turn.

Randvaal Meyerton, Gauteng, South Africa, 9th Jul 2026 — Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication, has published a new feature examining the Fabiani Cafe charity pop up at Sandton City in Johannesburg. The article documents how the temporary cafe combines retail, coffee culture and community impact, with proceeds directed to SOZO Foundation and FoodForward SA while the activation runs from June 30 through July 13, 2026.
The newly published Fabiani Cafe charity pop up at Sandton City article reports that the concept brings a full cafe experience into one of Johannesburg’s best-known retail destinations while centering a charitable model rather than a standard commercial rollout. According to Coffee Journal’s on-site coverage, the space serves an exclusive Fabiani Signature Blend roasted by Cedar Coffee Roasters, features food collaborations for the Sandton edition, and channels all revenue from coffee, merchandise and related sales toward partner organizations focused on youth opportunity and food security.
Coffee Journal’s reporting notes that the activation is staffed by graduates of the SOZO Foundation barista training program, giving young South Africans an opportunity to work in a live, high-traffic retail environment. That emphasis on employability aligns with SOZO Foundation’s stated mission of creating pathways to youth employment through education, skills training, entrepreneurship and social enterprise. By connecting a public-facing cafe operation to practical barista experience, the story highlights how coffee can serve as a working platform for skills development as well as hospitality.
The feature also places the cafe within a broader community-impact context by documenting Fabiani’s partnership with FoodForward SA. Coffee Journal reports that the initiative links everyday purchases to support for a food redistribution network that serves vulnerable communities across South Africa. External event coverage cited in the article frames the Sandton City run within Mandela Month and describes the activation as a corporate social investment effort built around opportunity, employment pathways and community resilience rather than a conventional product promotion.
In addition to the social-impact angle, the article gives readers a close look at the hospitality and coffee details shaping the experience on site. Coffee Journal describes the Fabiani Signature Blend as an exclusive collaboration with Cedar Coffee Roasters and notes that the Sandton edition includes handcrafted panzerotti from Chef Corvin Pietersen of Broodkop and artisanal pastries from Sofia El Baz of Daily Indulgence. The feature also records that the Sandton activation follows a previous Fabiani Cafe edition at the V&A Waterfront in 2025, suggesting the concept is evolving from a short-lived activation into a repeatable format with recognizable design and charitable intent.
For Coffee Journal, the story also reflects the editorial direction of a South African specialty coffee publication launched in 2026 to document roasters, brewing, water quality and coffee culture across the country. The publisher’s coverage aims to connect product, place and people in ways that are useful to both coffee enthusiasts and industry observers. By pairing first-hand reporting with specific sourcing, the Fabiani feature expands that mission into lifestyle retail and community-driven hospitality, showing how coffee storytelling can sit at the intersection of design, training, local food collaboration and public-interest impact.
Readers who discover the article through syndication can continue into Coffee Journal’s broader editorial ecosystem through the site’s Johannesburg coffee roasters guide and national SA roasters directory, both of which extend the article’s relevance beyond a single activation and into ongoing discovery of South African coffee businesses. The release supports awareness for the published feature while giving media outlets, search audiences and coffee readers a timely entry point into a wider body of South African specialty coffee coverage.
Coffee Journal said the article is intended to document a moment where hospitality, philanthropy and specialty coffee intersect in a visible Johannesburg setting. With the Fabiani Cafe pop up operating for a limited period, the feature provides timely context for readers following local coffee culture, retail activations and socially oriented brand collaborations in South Africa.

Prewett Asher Says the Biggest Communication Mistake in 2027 Will Be Confusing Speed With Leadership
-
Communications professional Prewett Asher of Dallas, Texas, says the strongest leaders won’t be the first to respond. They’ll be the ones who communicate with clarity, consistency, and purpose.
Texas, USA, Jul 09, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Every major decision today is met with immediate public reaction. For communications professional Prewett Asher, that growing pressure has created a new leadership challenge: knowing when to speak quickly and when to take the time to communicate well.
Drawing on experience in the federal government, the U.S. House of Representatives, and broadcast news, Asher believes one of the biggest communication mistakes organizations will make in 2027 is confusing speed with leadership.
“People often assume the fastest response is the strongest one,” Asher says. “In reality, speed without clarity can create confusion, damage trust, and make a difficult situation even harder to manage.”
Throughout his career, Asher has worked in roles where every public statement carried weight. At the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, he helped prepare briefing materials and managed correspondence between Congress and federal agencies. As Communications Director in the U.S. House of Representatives, he developed messaging strategies, prepared members for national media appearances, and handled communications during high-pressure situations. He later expanded into broadcast journalism as a Junior Producer at News Corp, producing daily news segments from concept to air.
Those experiences taught him that effective communication starts long before a public statement is released.
“You have to understand the situation before you try to shape the conversation,” Asher says. “People deserve information they can trust, especially when the stakes are high.”
According to the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer, 68% of people worry that business leaders, government leaders, and journalists are intentionally trying to mislead the public by saying things they know are false or exaggerated. Asher believes that growing skepticism means organizations have to earn trust through consistent actions, not just well-written statements.
“Trust isn’t built during a crisis,” he says. “It’s built every day through honest communication and consistent leadership. When difficult moments arrive, people already know whether they believe you.”
Looking ahead, Asher expects organizations to face increasing pressure to respond faster as information spreads almost instantly. While speed will always matter, he believes preparation will matter even more.
“The best communicators aren’t the ones who react first,” he says. “They’re the ones who have already built a foundation of credibility. That allows people to focus on the message instead of questioning the motive.”
He encourages leaders across government, business, and nonprofit organizations to review their communication strategies before the next major challenge arises.
“Every organization will face difficult conversations,” Asher says. “The question is whether you’ve built enough trust before that moment comes.”
