Describe the Leased Proof-of-Stake (LPoS) consensus mechanism. What are the differences with Proof-of-Stake (PoS)?
The LPoS (Leased Proof-of-Stake) system grants users access to loan their crypto assets in other to participate in node mining, without the loss of power over their crypto-assets, since these cryptocurrencies are hindered in their account, without the access of transferring or exchanging them. These users are otherwise called the leasers and its process is called leasing.
Each of the system nodes validates network transactions, which all participate in a raffle in other to verify the data.
The amount of cryptocurrencies covered by a node determines the possibility of the node to be chosen, therefore receiving the task rewards.
Likewise, the more WAVES are consumed in system security, the more arduous it is to obtain attacks, and this is because the attacker would require more tokens to be eligible to try a 51% attack, in which the attacker would have sufficient energy to enhance the transactions.
benefits produced by the nodes are dispersed among their leasers from time to time, In this way, new tokens are earned for users for loans with the holding of their coins.
Users need not be experienced in the system in other to participate, this helps to maintain the waves network.
Having too many cryptocurrencies is not necessary because even with capital as little as receives proportional rewards for contributing in the leasing.
I would also be talking about Some of the basic variations between the LPoS and PoS, the are as follows;
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LPoS & PoS
| SN | Leased proof of stake | Proof of stake |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No matter the amount of tokens a user has in LPos, they have the choice to allot their contributions to a miner, who serves as the validator | Users need a specific minimum of crypto currencies in the PoS in other to participate in node mining |
| 2 | Users lend their crypto assets in LPoS in other to mine the nodes, this is otherwise known as Leasing | Nodes are mined with tokens in the PoS system |
| 3 | Payments are divided proportionally between miner and users who donated their tokens as loan | The entire rewards are collected by the miners which is correspondent to their nodes |
