Since its inception, the eSync Network has undergone several upgrades, but the most significant one is our most recent one — the shift from Proof of Authority (PoA) to Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Though the PoA consensus mechanism has served eSync Network remarkably over the years, providing an effective system for Blockchain initiation and security, evolution is inevitable. As we transition to PoS, we look to reiterate our commitment to sustainability, scalability, and a better user experience for the community.

We are excited about this pivotal moment in our evolution and eager to share with you the significance of this new model and how it promises to redefine operational efficiency.

Why Proof of Stake?

PoS has been around for quite some time, making blockchain networks greener and more efficient. It is a fully democratic, eco-friendly, and decentralized system used to validate cryptocurrency transactions. This consensus mechanism allows cryptocurrency holders to stake their coins, check new blocks of transactions, and add them to the blockchain. With PoS, eSync Network addresses general reliability, consumption, and scalability issues.

Proof of Stake is characterized by a lean and efficient network start, lower energy consumption, and the capability to process higher volume of transactions per second, thereby speeding up the network.

The Mechanics of PoS

Voting is an important part of PoS because the voting power of a validator is determined by the amount staked. This means that a validator’s voting power comes from the certain amount of crypto staked behind the block they want to add to the chain.

In contrast to PoA, which uses a process of preselection of validators, PoS permits token holders to engage in network maintenance only if they meet the staking conditions. This democratic process ensures that the interests of the validator are aligned with the well-being of the network.

So, how does the PoS mechanism benefit the users of eSync Network?

Perks of Proof of Stake to The Ecosystem

1. Enhanced Network Security: PoS makes the eSync Network even safer, allowing a reliable environment for confidently making transactions. Since validators have a direct stake in maintaining network integrity, they significantly reduce the chances of malicious acts/attacks in the network.

2. Increased Transaction Efficiency: Customers will enjoy swift transaction processing with PoS, thereby leading to quicker confirmation. This efficiency is paramount to the system as time-sensitive financial activities are conducted seamlessly.

3. Opportunity for Participation: Fostering a sense of community and ownership is central to eSync Network’s ideals. With PoS being a naturally inclusive mechanism, it’s only fitting that customers with ECS can actively participate in staking, offering a chance to earn rewards.

4. Sustainable Transactions: PoS is a greener option for aligning with environmental concerns. It offers a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional mining methods. Customers can take pride in the fact that they are utilizing green and environmentally friendly blockchain solutions.

5. Improved Customer Trust through Enhanced Security: The security enhancement provided by PoS can boost customer confidence in merchants transacting with eSync Network. This trust can lead to increased sales and stronger customer loyalty. Incentivizing validators to act in the network’s best interest reduces the likelihood of malicious activities. This creates an effect that puts customers at ease, building an unconscious trust that every business values.

Advancing Forward with PoS Upgrade

Our dedication to constant innovation and improvement of the eSync Ecosystem for our customers and merchants has led us to the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, and we’re even more optimistic for the future. The switch is not only a technical upgrade but a strategic step toward a safer, more scalable, and community-driven future for the eSync Ecosystem.
