How does the blockchain technology work?
Is proof of work the only way to validate transactions on the blockchain?
No, there are other methods for validating transactions, such as proof of stake and delegated proof of stake. In proof of stake, nodes are required to stake a certain amount of cryptocurrency in order to validate transactions, and in delegated proof of stake, nodes can delegate their voting power to other nodes. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and they are used in different blockchain platforms based on their specific needs and requirements.
