Definition
Proof of stake is a blockchain consensus mechanism in which validators lock up (stake) the native asset to propose and attest to blocks.
Overview
In proof-of-stake, validators are chosen to create blocks in proportion to their staked assets and can be penalized (slashed) for misbehavior. It replaces energy-intensive mining used in proof-of-work.
