Diving into the heart of blockchain, consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) ensure network integrity. PoW, used by Bitcoin, requires miners to solve complex puzzles, securing the network. PoS, seen in Ethereum 2.0, lets validators stake coins to validate transactions, using less energy. Beyond these, mechanisms like Delegated Proof of Stake and Byzantine Fault Tolerance add layers of efficiency and security. Each has its role in shaping the decentralized future.
