Proof of stake
PulseChain uses proof-of-stake to reach consensus.For this, we need active participants-known as validators-to propose, verify, and vouch for the validity of blocks. In exchange, honest validators receive financial rewards.Importantly, as a validator you'll need to post TPLS as collateral—in other words, have some funds at stake. The only way to become a validator is to make a one-way TPLS transaction to the deposit contract on the PulseChain network (until withdrawals are activated on Ethereum mainnet and merged into PulseChain).
