How Does PoS Affect the Energy Consumption of a Network?

Proof-of-Stake drastically reduces a network's energy consumption compared to Proof-of-Work. PoS validators do not need to perform energy-intensive computational puzzles (mining); instead, they secure the network by staking capital.

This change allows the network to operate with a minimal carbon footprint, making it significantly more environmentally friendly.
