Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) are consensus algorithms used to validate transactions and secure a blockchain network. PoW, like Bitcoin, requires miners to compete to solve complex mathematical problems (e.g., finding a hash below a certain target) for reward. In contrast, PoS relies on 'validators' who are chosen based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold (their stake). Validators take turns proposing and verifying new blocks, with less energy consumption compared to PoW.
