How Does Proof-of-Stake Increase Blockchain Throughput?

Proof-of-Stake (PoS) can increase throughput by enabling faster block creation and finality compared to Proof-of-Work (PoW). PoS eliminates the need for competitive mining, allowing for shorter block times and more predictable block production.

It also facilitates sharding, which divides the network load, exponentially increasing the number of transactions processed per second.
