This article details the definition of blockchain fork (Fork), i.e., the divergence of blockchain rules. It focuses on distinguishing the differences, characteristics and related cryptocurrency cases between soft forks and hard forks, helping a broad audience understand blockchain fork knowledge
In the virtual currency world, Proof of Stake (PoS) emerged as a “sustainable alternative” to the energy-heavy Proof of Work (PoW). Unlike PoW, which relies on computing power competition for bookkeeping rights, PoS distributes these rights based on how many virtual coins a node holds and how long it locks them up (called “staking”). This design eliminates the need […]
In the decentralized world of blockchain, there is no central authority like a bank to verify transactions or synchronize data. This is where the consensus mechanism comes in—it is the “rulebook” that all nodes (computers) in the blockchain network follow to reach a unified view of data, ensuring every transaction is valid, irreversible, and consistent across the […]
