    "We are well on the way to universal interoperability for blockchain, and we need it. We need it especially for NFTs, proof of ownership. That proof must be universal, not tied to a specific chain." - Dr Martin Hiesboeck How close are we to achieving this vision?

    🔐 What is Proof of Stake (PoS)? It's the consensus mechanism powering blockchain networks like #Ethereum, enabling validators to secure the network by staking their cryptocurrency holdings. Unlike Proof of Work (PoW), which relies on energy-intensive mining, PoS allows validators to lock up their crypto (known as a "stake") to validate transactions and earn rewards. 🌱 Why does this matter? Ethereum’s transition from PoW to PoS during the Merge not only improved efficiency but also had a significant environmental impact. The shift reduced Ethereum’s CO2 emissions by an astounding 99.992%, making PoS a more sustainable alternative for blockchain technology. 💡 How does PoS work? Validators are selected based on the amount and duration of their staked cryptocurrency. This financial commitment discourages malicious behavior, as validators risk losing their stake if they act dishonestly. In exchange, validators earn rewards for confirming new blocks and transactions. 📈 Example: Ethereum 2.0 is a prime example of PoS in action. Validators must stake at least 32 ether to be eligible, ensuring they have a vested interest in maintaining network security. The PoS model is not just more energy-efficient but also shifts blockchain towards a more scalable and environmentally friendly future. 📊 PoS vs. PoW: Both PoW and PoS aim to maintain the integrity of the blockchain, but they take different approaches. While PoW relies on computational effort, PoS focuses on financial commitment, leading to a more energy-efficient process. 💬 What are your thoughts on PoS and its role in the future of blockchain? Can it truly solve scalability and environmental concerns? 🎓 Learn how Proof-of-Stake reduces energy consumption, rewards validators, and supports more efficient networks compared to Proof of Work on Uphold Academy. 🔗 What is Proof of Work: https://lnkd.in/ex5GUDFs __ Don’t invest in crypto unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 minutes to learn more.

For a $500 balance in a high-yield account offering 4.5%, that works out to $22.50 in interest after one year, compared with just $3 with a traditional savings account.

    We’re at a key moment in the crypto market this week. On the weekly chart, Bitcoin is reaching its fourth local peak with much speculation that it could be testing a break out towards a new all-time high. It’s also a milestone week for public Bitcoin holders: according to BitcoinTreasuries, ETFs now hold more than one million BTC for the first time: about 5% of all Bitcoin, a remarkable milestone. ETFs are followed by countries and public companies as major BTC holders. More than 120 publicly-traded companies now hold Bitcoin in Treasury. #crypto #bitcoin Source BitcoinTreasuries
