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.

Press Release

Muslim Marriage Events Announces Winter 2026 Programme of Four Verified Marriage Events in Birmingham and London, Including a New Divorcee Category

Published

on

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom, 13 October 2026 – Muslim Marriage Events, a UK organiser of structured, in-person matrimonial gatherings for British Muslims, today announced its winter 2026 programme of four events in Birmingham and London. The schedule includes two specialist events for graduates and medical professionals on 18 October, a three-age-group event in west London on 7 November, and a Birmingham event on 6 December that adds a dedicated category for divorced men and women.

The programme places document checks, age-banded groups and on-site supervision at the centre of each event. At the graduate and professional gathering, attendees are required to show a graduation certificate, work identification and a British passport, so participants know the backgrounds of the people they meet are verified before the first conversation starts.

“People tell us the hardest part of finding a spouse is not meeting someone. It is trusting what they are told,” said a spokesperson for Muslim Marriage Events. “This winter we have built every event around that. Credentials are checked at the door, rooms are grouped by age and background, and in Birmingham we are giving divorcees a category of their own instead of asking them to fit into a general room.”

Key Features of the Winter Programme

Verified credentials. At the 18 October graduate and professional event, qualifications and employment are checked against documents rather than taken on trust.

Separate events for separate audiences. Age-banded general events run alongside gatherings reserved for degree-educated professionals and for doctors and dentists. Places are capped in each category at the specialist events to keep groups at a manageable size.

A dedicated divorcee category. The 6 December Birmingham event introduces a group specifically for divorced men and women. Remarriage after divorce is common, and a separate group means divorcees no longer have to attend a general event to meet others in the same position.

Advisors and volunteers will be present at every event to explain the format and help conversations get started, which the organiser says is especially useful for first-time attendees.

18 October, Birmingham: Degree-Educated Professionals Event

The Birmingham Exclusive Degree Educated Professionals Event will take place at Tipu Sultan Restaurant, 43 Alcester Road, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 8AA, from 11:30am to 4:30pm. It is open to British Muslim graduates seeking a partner with a comparable educational and career background.

Places are split into two age groups. Group 1 is for women aged 21 to 26 and men aged 22 to 32, while Group 2 is for women aged 27 to 33 and men aged 33 to 42.

Attendees must present a graduation certificate, work ID and British passport at registration.

18 October, Birmingham: Doctors and Dentists Event

On the same day and at the same venue, the Doctors & Dentists Muslim Marriage Event will bring together British Muslim medical and dental professionals. The organiser said the event was created for people whose long training, shift patterns and rotas leave little room for conventional introductions, and who often prefer a partner who understands those pressures.

The event is divided into two age groups: women aged 21 to 26 with men aged 22 to 30, and women aged 27 to 33 with men aged 30 to 42.

Places in each category are limited. A three-course meal, soft drinks and tea are included.

7 November, London: Three Age Groups in Perivale

The Muslim Marriage Events London gathering will be held at Royal Nawaab, 7 Hoover Building, Western Avenue, Perivale, London, UB6 8DB, from 11:30am to 5:00pm, the longest session of the season.

Attendees will be placed in one of three age groups. The first brings together women aged 21 to 26 and men aged 21 to 30, the second women aged 27 to 33 and men aged 30 to 37, and the third women aged 34 to 39 and men aged 38 to 45.

The event is open to British passport holders who are single, fully divorced or widowed and seeking a marriage partner.

6 December, Birmingham: New Divorcee Category

The season closes with Muslim Marriage Events Birmingham at Tipu Sultan, 43 Alcester Road, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 8AA, from 11:30am to 4:30pm. The divorcee group will run alongside two age-banded groups.

In the age-banded groups, women aged 21 to 26 will meet men aged 21 to 32, and women aged 27 to 33 will meet men aged 30 to 38.

Each event follows a set format. Attendees rotate between tables, share a meal, and then have time for one-to-one conversations with anyone they would like to speak with further. Advisors and volunteers stay available throughout the day.

Meeting in Person, With Checks in Place

Muslim Marriage Events said the winter format is aimed at people who want more certainty than an online profile can give. A face-to-face meeting lets attendees judge manner and sincerity within minutes, and with documents checked and organisers present, individuals and their families get a more accountable route to a first introduction.

Eligibility and Event Details

Age brackets, identification requirements and eligibility differ by event. Full details, including arrival instructions and current availability, are published on each event page on the Muslim Marriage Events website.

Matt Davis Books Publishes Identity Renewal: The Hourglass Turns, a Novel on Identity and Renewal

Published

on

The contemporary literary fiction title by author R. Matt Davis follows three men rebuilding their lives after the careers that defined them come to an end.

PETOSKEY, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, 13th Oct 2026: Matt Davis Books publishes Identity Renewal: The Hourglass Turns, a contemporary literary fiction title by author R. Matt Davis. The novel is available in hardcover, paperback and digital editions through booksellers in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The story takes place at a residential wellness center in the hills of Tennessee. Three men arrive within hours of one another, each at the end of the career that gave his life its shape. One is a former member of the armed forces, one a retired professional athlete and one a corporate executive. The sixty-day program at the center is built around a single question that each of them faces: who is a person once the role that defined him goes away?

Identity Renewal: The Hourglass Turns is organized in three sections titled Descent, Confrontation and Renewal. The narrative moves between the separate history each man carries and the shared present the three of them build together, then follows the year that unfolds after they leave the center. The book runs to twenty-seven chapters with a prologue and an epilogue, and extends to three hundred and forty-eight pages in the hardcover edition.

An hourglass serves as the central image of the novel. It appears as an object on a shelf at the center, as a daily practice, as a gift and finally as a shared marker between the three men. The author uses it to carry the governing idea of the book, which holds that time moves through a life regardless of readiness, and that the available choice concerns what a person does with the time that remains.

Themes in the novel include identity, resilience, friendship, fatherhood and personal renewal. The title is intended for adult readers of character-driven fiction. The narrative is written in the first person and rotates between the three men, with named headings marking each change of narrator.

“The questions behind this novel reach a wide readership,” said R. Matt Davis, founder of Matt Davis Books. “A career ends, a role falls away, and a person stands there with the same question regardless of the uniform he wore. That situation arrives for almost everyone eventually, which is the reason the book takes three different men and puts them in the same room.”

The hardcover and digital editions carry ISBN 978-9-69-509385-6. The paperback edition carries ISBN 9798240926136. The title is listed with Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million and Kobo in the United States, and with Waterstones and Foyles in the United Kingdom. The digital edition is available to readers internationally.

The novel is published by Matt Davis Books. Title details, author information and reader resources are maintained on the official company website at https://mattdavisbooks.com/.
