Blockchain?s ability to guarantee decentralized, transparent transactions with solid security has increased the appeal of new virtual currencies. The consensus mechanism, one of the key components of a blockchain network?s operation, plays a crucial role in a decentralized system. The debate surrounding an adequate consensus method has attracted significant attention, particularly in comparing Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS). This chapter comprehensively examines the Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithms and compares other consensus algorithms utilized in contemporary blockchain systems. 2026 Elsevier Inc.
