PoS crypto works by allowing participants to stake their coins, which then become validators responsible for verifying transactions. Validators are chosen based on the amount of coins they stake, and they earn rewards for their contributions to maintaining the network's security. This system is more energy-efficient than PoW and reduces the need for specialized mining hardware.

These randomly picked validators, in the POS mechanism, are tasked with creating new blocks within the blockchain network.

Unlike POS, Proof-of-Work (POW) employs a different approach for transaction validation.

In POW, a competitive validation method is utilized, where miners engage in a race to solve complex mathematical problems.

Proof-of-Stake (POS) operates on a principle where validators are randomly selected to play a crucial role in the confirmation of transactions.

The successful miner, who manages to solve the problem first, is then rewarded with the right to add a new block to the blockchain.
