…This form of consensus mechanism gives all participants an equal chance of winning the reward and adding a new block to the blockchain.A PoET mechanism starts by assigning and maintaining a randomly generated amount of time to each node, which must then sleep for this specific duration and will only be permitted to add a new block to the network once it has fulfilled the allotted ‘time’. This ensures that when a node’s waiting time has ended, and it ‘wakes up’, it can forge and submit …

…The first to come up with the 64-digit hexadecimal number (‘hash’) earns the right to form the new block and confirm the transactions. The successful miner is also rewarded with a predetermined amount of crypto, known as a ‘block reward’. As it requires large amounts of computational resources and energy in order to generate new blocks, the operating costs behind PoW are notoriously high. This acts as a barrier of entry for new miners, leading to concerns about centralisation and…

…In short, this hybrid algorithm uses a PoW mining process to generate new blocks and a PoS validator selection system to validate them. The main advantage a Proof of Activity system brings is its reinforced security that greatly minimises the risk of a 51% attack. In this system, not only does an attacker need to overwhelm the PoW aspect of the distributed system, but also the PoS aspect. Case in point: the malicious agent needs to own over 51% of mining power and 51% of the total digital curre…
