What Are the Main Criticisms or Drawbacks of the Proof-of-Activity Model?

The main criticisms of Proof-of-Activity include its complexity and the potential for centralization. The two-step process of mining and then validating a block is more intricate than single-mechanism models.

Another concern is that the PoW phase is still energy-intensive, though less so than in pure PoW systems. There's also a risk of the system favoring those with significant resources, as they can participate in both mining and staking.

Finally, some argue that the model has not been tested as extensively as PoW or PoS, leaving potential vulnerabilities undiscovered.
