What Is ‘Delegated Proof-of-Stake’ (DPoS)?

DPoS is a variation of PoS where coin holders vote for a limited number of 'delegates' or 'witnesses' who are responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the network. This system offers faster transaction speeds and greater scalability than traditional PoS but can be more centralized, as power is concentrated among the elected delegates.
