Pros of Consensus Mechanism
- Decentralization: PoW allows anyone with the necessary hardware and electricity to participating in the validation process, making the network more decentralized. It can reduce the centralization of validation power that can occur with PoW and PoS.
- Security: PoW is considered one of the most secure consensus mechanisms due to the computational power required to participate in the validation process. PBFT is considered highly secure because of the pre-selected validators who must agree on the validity of transactions.
- Energy-efficient: PoS is known for its energy efficiency, which can reduce the environmental and economic impact of validation.
- Fast transaction processing: DPoS can enable faster transaction processing times compared to other consensus mechanisms. PBFT can enable faster transaction processing times compared to other consensus mechanisms.
Cryptographic Consensus Mechanisms in Blockchain
A consensus mechanism is an algorithm that is used to achieve agreement, trust, and security across a decentralized computer network. These protocols help to make sure that all the nodes are synchronized with each other and agree on transactions, which are legitimate and are added to the blockchain.
