◼️27/100 Block-by-Block: Types of consensus mechanisms in Web3

One thing I learned about: Types of consensus mechanisms in Web3

There are many ways to agree in a network.

Examples:

  • Proof of Work: First miner who solves the puzzle creates the block.
  • Proof of Stake: Random validator creates the block.
  • Delegated Proof of Stake: The next top delegate creates the block.
  • Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) Consensus: Supermajority creates the block.
  • Proof of Authority: Known authorities create the block.
