Cryptocurrency Mining and Proof of Stake Algorithms

Traditional cryptocurrency mining is not the only way for passive income in the digital asset market. There are other alternatives to look out for. For example, cryptocurrency staking can be a source of passive profit. You just need to store cryptocurrency in your account to receive income. The presence of coins in the wallet allows the investor to ensure the operability of a project’s blockchain. The user receives a reward in the form of a cryptocurrency as gratitude for such work.

This approach to cryptocurrencies mining is more environmentally friendly than other alternatives since the operational network does not need a large amount of computing equipment to be connected to the asset. For comparison, to mine digital assets using the Proof of Work algorithm, you need to connect equipment (mining farms, data centers) to the cryptocurrency network. The more computing power of devices at the disposal of the user, the higher their income. In Proof of Work mining, millions of devices around the world compete for the right to record information about transactions in the cryptocurrency blockchain and receive a reward.

Proof of Stake technology, which was developed in 2012, offers a slightly different approach. People invest in buying coins to mine tokens efficiently. In the future, they can be sold or converted into another cryptocurrency. To earn coins, staking participants in the crypto industry rely on the amount of cryptocurrency on their account, with traditional mining — on the amount of computing power at their disposal.

Staking does not require huge energy costs, investments in video cards or ASICs. Therefore, compared to mining, it is more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.

In addition, it will be much easier for newcomers to the industry, because they do not need to work with complex computing power to maintain the performance of their mining farms. Today, only the big players survive in mining.
