Consensus mechanisms ensure all participants agree on the validity of transactions. Common algorithms include: Proof of Work (PoW): Used by Bitcoin; miners solve cryptographic puzzles. Proof of Stake (PoS): Validators are chosen based on the amount of stake they hold. Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): Stakeholders vote for delegates to validate blocks. |
