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.

911 Exteriors, a reputable roofing company in Irving, shares guidance for spotting possible roof damage after severe weather
Recent Storm Activity In North Texas
Irving, Texas, Oct 01, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Severe storm activity over parts of North Texas on September 20 brought heavy rains, damaging winds, and hail concerns to a few communities. A post-storm inspection is critical for homeowners, particularly when severe weather conditions put stress on roofing materials.
Even roofs that appear to be fine can be damaged due to storms. If damage is suspected, homeowners across the DFW area should watch for any visible warning signs and schedule a professional inspection.
The Reason You May Not See Storm Damage
Storm damage is not always apparent. Hail only leaves small impact marks, while strong winds can break, unfasten, or lift shingles without causing a leak immediately. Over time, loss of these granules can also damage shingles.
Other concerns include deteriorated flashing, roof penetrations, vents, and areas around skylights. If there are small openings in the roofing system, the water will seep under the roof and lead to moisture damage within the house.
Signs Irving and DFW Homeowners Should Pay Attention To
Following severe weather, homeowners can safely inspect areas they can see from the ground and access for interior signs of damage:
-
Missing or lifted shingles
-
Hail marks or impact damage
-
Granules accumulating around gutters and downspouts
-
Damaged or displaced flashing
-
Loose roofing components
-
Ceiling or attic water stains
-
New leaks or signs of moisture
-
Damaged vents or skylights
Homeowners who notice these warning signs should hire a DFW roofing company for a detailed inspection
Why a Professional Roof Inspection is Crucial
It will point out obvious storm damage, but also other less-obvious hail hits and potential water entry points, as well as worn-out roof components. A qualified Irving roofer comes with advanced equipment to assess whether a problem needs immediate repair.
Climbing on your roof after the storm is usually unsuitable for homeowners. The slippery nature of wet & damaged roofing surfaces can create extreme safety hazards. An experienced professional comes equipped with the appropriate tools and training to inspect the roof in a safer manner.
How to Identify Storm Damage
Homeowners who suspect their property may have suffered storm damage can do the following:
-
Take photos of any visible damage from a safe distance.
-
Inspect the roof and inside the attic for moisture or water stains.
-
Steer clear of any makeshift repairs, which can lead to extra problems later.
-
Schedule a professional roof inspection.
-
Some insurance policies only review auto damage after an accident, for example.
-
Retain photographs, inspection records, and documentation from your free consultation for future reference.

From Question to Action: Leverate Launches ASK, Its Native AI Assistant for Traders
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 1st, 2026, FinanceWire
Whether checking a balance, reviewing a position or completing a task, traders expect quick answers without having to switch between screens or channels. Leverate has launched ASK, a native AI assistant built into its trading platform, answering from live account data and carrying out the next step in the same place.
ASK completes Leverate’s native AI layer for traders. The platform’s existing AI assistant brings real-time market insights and broker intelligence into the trading experience. ASK adds the operational side. Working from the trader’s own account, it explains what is happening and carries out what comes next, all inside the chat.
From Question to Action
ASK is part of Leverate’s trading platform itself, available from any screen and opening into a conversation. Traders can ask about balances, positions, margin, verification status, deposit history and bonus status, and each answer is drawn from their own account rather than from general guidance.
Where an answer alone does not finish the task, ASK continues. It can open a specific area of the platform and highlight the relevant section, add an indicator to a chart, and where the broker has enabled it, place, modify or close a trade inside the conversation. Any action affecting a trader’s funds or open positions requires explicit confirmation before it is executed. ASK does not trade autonomously and is not designed to provide personalised investment advice.

Built for Action, Configured by the Broker
Because ASK runs inside the platform, a trader does not switch channels or put the question to support and wait. The same conversation that explains a declined withdrawal can open the relevant page, manage a position or add an indicator to a chart.
Brokers decide how ASK behaves for each brand. They configure its name, choose which traders can access it, enable or restrict trade execution and deposit nudges, set escalation paths and apply usage caps. Every action ASK can take sits inside the permissions the broker has set.
For the broker, that shorter path keeps more of the trader’s activity inside their own environment. Routine account questions are resolved without handing the trader to a separate support channel, and each answer can lead directly into the next action on the platform.
“We believe the trading experience should be simple, connected and all in one place. Traders shouldn’t have to move between different tools to get an answer or complete a task. With ASK, AI becomes part of that experience, helping traders go from question to action with less friction and greater ease.” Ran Strauss, CEO & Co-Founder, Leverate
Availability
ASK is available now for brokers using Leverate’s trading platform and can be enabled per brand through the CRM. Availability of individual capabilities may depend on broker configuration and jurisdictional requirements.
For more information, users can visit leverate.com.
