Title:
Proof-of-Stake Is a Defective Mechanism
Authors: Vicent Sus
Abstract:Proof-of-stake algorithms implemented as distributed consensus mechanisms in the base layer of blockchain networks are defective cryptosystems by nature. By trying to improve the energy efficiency of blockchains using proof-of-work in the consensus mechanism, proof-of-stake is introducing a set of significant new flaws in both monetary and governance models. Such systems are plutocratic, oligopolistic, and permissioned.
