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.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, August 25th, 2026, FinanceWire
The integration will bring established, regulated market infrastructure to Sui that unlocks support for institutions and issuers, while also opening access for tZERO to the chain’s deep pool of builders and developers
tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to integrate directly with the Sui blockchain, unlocking support for issuance, transfer agency, custody, trading, compliance and settlement for regulated digital assets security trading. The integration will expand Sui’s access to institutionally compliant U.S. market infrastructure aimed at building for tokenized markets, and will bring Sui’s deep pool of builders and developers into the tZERO ecosystem.
The announcement brings full integration into tZERO’s U.S.-regulated trading, custody, and issuance framework for the Sui blockchain, providing direct support for institutional-grade tokenization projects and initiatives for projects currently building on the network.
Mustafa Al Niama, Head of Capital Markets at Mysten Labs and former Americas Head of Digital Assets at Goldman Sachs, commented: “Institutional adoption of tokenized assets depends on infrastructure that bridges blockchain innovation with regulatory frameworks. tZERO’s expansion to Sui gives issuers and developers access to regulated issuance, custody, and trading capabilities designed to support that transition, while also taking advantage of Sui’s unique architecture that is built to support institutional workflows.”
Through the integration, tZERO will gain access to a vast pool of developers, builders, and DeFi projects currently being built on Sui, leveraging the extensive knowledge these teams have in building for the network’s unique object-focused architecture. These builders have years of experience creating projects that take advantage of Sui’s highly performant network with near-instant finality, positioning them well to build on infrastructure designed to service institutional needs.
“Sui’s object-centric architecture offers a unique approach to regulated digital assets by making assets and their permissions programmable,” said Alan Konevsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “Combined with Sui’s performance, that design creates a strong foundation for the development of next generation regulated financial applications onchain.“
tZERO brings more than 12 years of operational experience in U.S. market compliance and infrastructure development, and is recognized by the SEC with multiple registrations. tZERO is also an active member of FINRA, and has years of experience bridging crypto-native projects into regulated U.S. market applications.
