summary: List of consensus mechanisms to agree up on transaction blocks on blockchains
content: This is a list of Consensus Mechanisms found in the space. If you add something new make sure to give an example of a project that uses it. Proof Of Work (POW): Used by Bitcoin Proof Of Stake (POS): Used by Ethereum Proof Of Capacity (POC) AKA Proof Of State: Used by Burstcoin Proof Of Elapsed Time (POET): Used by Hyperledger Sawtooth Transaction As Proof Of Stake (TAPOS): Used by Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT): Used by Proof Of users Activity (POA): Used by Proof Of Burn (POB): Used by SlimCoin Proof of Stake Anonymous (PoSA): Used by Proof of Importance (POI): Used by Proof of Storage: Used by STORJ Proof of Stake Time (PoST): Used by Vericoin Proof of Stake Velocity (PoSV): Used by Proof of Checkpoint (PoC): Leased Proof of Stake (LPoS): Used by Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT): Used by Persistent Proof of Authority (PoA): Proof of Identity (PoI): Proof Of Bribe: Morty Token POW/POS Hybrid: Used by IOTA Federated Byzantine Agreement: Used by Ripple Proof Of Asset: Used by Digixdao Proof Of Intelligence: Used by Aion Proof Of Believability: Used by IOSToken Proof Of Devotion: Used by Proof Of Retrievability: Used by Stori Proof Of Weight (PoWeight): Used by Simplified Byzantine Fault Tolerance: Used by Chain Proof Of Audit (POA): Used by DAPS Matrix Proof Of Work (MPOW): Seele Randomized Proof Of Stake (RPOS): Ultrain Proof Of Engine (POE): Used by LTO Network Secure Proof Of Stake (SPOS): Elrond Proof-of-Immutable-State (POIS): Commerce block Proof Of Chain (POC): Clams SPECTRE: HYCON Tendermint: IRISnet Hierarchical Delegated Proof of Stake (HDPoS): VITE Proof Of Agreement: Credits Proof Of Coverage: Helium.com
