Why Proof of Stake

Start learning

What is this lesson is about?

On Nov 6th 2020 Vitalik Buterin wrote a short article on why the Ethereum ecosystem is migrating to Proof of Stake (PoS). Despite the shift being planned for years there's a lot of discussion in the ecosystem on why Ethereum is doing this, what are the benefits to PoS over Proof of Work (PoW) and whether this migration is fair to all the players in the ecosystem.

This seems like a great place to start our reads as the discussion is still alive and kicking and who better to read for our first article than Vitalik, one of the co-founders of Ethereum?
