Introduction / TL;DR Proof-of-work (POW) is a consensus protocol. It allows the nodes of the network to agree on the state of all information recorded on that blockchain. This prevents users from "double spending" their coins. It also ensures that th...

Hi Sarthak Verma, great post!

I just wanted to let you know that the link for Twitter, in the upper right corner is broken :)

Have a nice day.

Thanks, Eleftheria Batsou, I've just started writing blogs, this means a lot. Also, I've updated the Twitter URL but this is some problem from the side of hashnode.

You can find me on Twitter here: 0xSarthak

Thank you Sarthak Verma. Your Twitter link (from the upper right corner) points here twitter.com/webcrxwler

If you think there is an issue with the links feel free to contact the support, but as far as I've checked everything works fine :)

Thanks, Eleftheria. I will try contacting support.

Nice article my friend.

PoW was seen like the most logical and fair way for mining. I don’t think, this is as relevant today. Proof of Stake, or Solana’s Proof of History seems like good alternative.

I believe the future will be more hybrid. Cross-chain and also Multiple consensus mechanisms.

Thanks, Hamza.

Yes, for sure, PoW is relatively old technology and PoS or Solana's PoH totally debunks it.

Will write about them too soon.

Nice article brother I dont thinkg POW can be described as "efficient".

It is the most energy consuming consensus algo in blockchain space

Thanks for clearing this. Obviously, it's very energy-consuming. I missed that. Updated.
