Question 35

Proof of Stake offers which advantage over Proof of Work?

    Correct Answer: A

    Proof of Stake offers the advantage of greater transaction speed over Proof of Work. Proof of Stake requires validators to hold and lock up a certain amount of cryptocurrency as collateral to validate transactions, which is a more efficient and quicker process compared to the energy-intensive and time-consuming mining process in Proof of Work.
