Behind High Energy Consumption of Blockchain: PoS Consensus Mechanism To Be A Solution

Published

5 years ago

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.

Washable boxer briefs are designed to provide discreet support for men managing light to moderate bladder leaks

NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 — Titan Boxers today announced the availability of Titan Boxer Bamboo Leak-Proof Briefs, a reusable incontinence underwear option for men. The washable boxer briefs are designed for men managing light to moderate urinary leakage and are intended to provide built-in absorbent support in a familiar underwear format.

For many American men, bladder leaks are not only a health-related concern but also an everyday comfort and lifestyle issue. Light to moderate leakage may affect clothing choices, work routines, travel planning, exercise, and social situations. Traditional protective options can involve trade-offs such as added bulk, frequent replacement, visible lines under clothing, or a fit that feels different from regular underwear. Titan Boxers was developed to address this everyday-use gap with washable boxer briefs that combine built-in leak support with a discreet boxer-brief design.

Titan Boxer Bamboo Leak-Proof Briefs are designed to look and feel like regular boxer briefs while adding absorbent protection within the fabric structure. According to the company, the underwear features a multi-layer absorbent core designed to help manage light to moderate leaks and keep the outer layer dry. The design is also intended to remain discreet under clothing, without bulky pads, noise, or visible lines.

The boxer briefs are made from a bamboo blend fabric consisting of 95% bamboo fiber and 5% spandex. According to the product page, the bamboo fiber is intended to provide softness, breathability, and natural odor resistance, while the spandex supports stretch and fit. The material is designed for daily wear and may help reduce moisture buildup and chafing during routine use.

Titan Boxer Bamboo Leak-Proof Briefs are washable and reusable. With proper care, the product is designed for repeated wash cycles while maintaining its intended fit and absorbent performance. This makes the boxer briefs an option for men seeking a reusable leak-support product for daily routines.

Titan Boxers are available for purchase through the company’s official website, where customers can review product information, select available size and color options, and consult the size chart before ordering. The product page states that Titan Boxers follows standard U.S. underwear sizing and recommends that customers choose their usual underwear size or consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit if they are between sizes.

The product page also provides care and performance details, noting that the briefs are washable and reusable with proper care. Titan Boxers offers a 45-day satisfaction policy; customers who are not satisfied with their Titan Boxers purchase may contact the company within 45 days for assistance with a refund or exchange, subject to the company’s stated terms.
