DPoS, or Delegated Proof of Stake, is a consensus mechanism used to secure blockchain networks. In this system, token holders can delegate their coins to selected representatives or “delegates” who are responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the network.The process begins when users choose delegates based on their reputation and performance. The more coins a delegate has backing them, the higher their chances of being elected to produce blocks. This way, the voting power is somewhat proportional to the amount of cryptocurrency held by an individual.Stakeholders benefit from this approach as it increases transaction speeds and lowers energy consumption compared to traditional mining methods. Since only a limited number of delegates are active at any time, the network can process transactions more efficiently.DPoS also often incorporates a built-in incentive structure, rewarding both voters and delegates in the form of new tokens or transaction fees, creating a dynamic ecosystem where active participation is encouraged. This design aims to combine decentralization with a scalable performance.
