(1.) Describe the Leased Proof-of-Stake (LPoS) consensus mechanism. What are the differences with Proof-of-Stake (PoS)?

The Leased Proof of Stake consensus mechanism is described as a more advanced variation of the Proof of Stake consensus process. This is the Waves platform's consensus method for confirming and adding new blocks to the network. Holders of the Waves currency can lease their coins to a contractor or full node using this system, and the contractor or full node will be able to pay the user leasing his money agreed-upon benefits. Users can choose between leasing and staking their coins while using the leased Proof of Stake protocol.

The leaser must lock up the quantity of token he or she wishes to bet in order for the lease to take place. The token stays in the leaser's wallet, but the user will not be able to use it until the lease is ended. The leaser also creates a lease contract that includes the following information.

• The recipient's address

• The total number of Tokens leased

As a result, full nodes and nodes operators may employ not only their own mining power but also the mining power of other users to create new blocks and collect rewards. The prize is then split, with a portion going to the leaser. The greater the number of tokens, the greater the payout.

What is the difference between Leased Proof of Stake and Proof of Stake consensus mechanism

Leased Proof of Stake

• Leased Proof of Stake is a more advanced variant of Proof of Stake that allows users to rent out their tokens to other users for mining.

• In an LPOS, every crypto currency holder, regardless of their token's amount, can participate in the mining process. To be a complete node, for example, users must own at least 1000Waves tokens. Users with less resources can lease them to full nodes to profit from the mining process.

• LPOS rewards are split between the leaser and the node operators.

Proof of Stake

• Proof of Stake is a consensus process that allows crypto currency holders to stake their coins in order for their coins to be used to verify and produce new blocks.

• On the other hand, not everyone can use the Proof of Stake consensus technique to create a new block. To be able to Stake and become a validator, you must have a certain amount of tokens.

• Mining rewards aren't shared because leasing isn't an option.
