0 / 5 completed🎓 DPoS: Key Takeaways
🗳️
Democratic Consensus
- •Token holders vote for delegates
- •Each token = 1 vote
- •Can change votes anytime
- •Bad delegates voted out
⚡
High Performance
- •0.5-3 second block times
- •1,000-4,000+ TPS
- •Sub-second finality
- •Very energy efficient
🔄
Round-Robin Production
- •Delegates take turns
- •Deterministic schedule
- •No mining competition
- •Predictable performance
💰
Reward System
