Proof of Stake and Activity
Elevating Network Activity
Bahamut's PoSA consensus merges PoS and DPoS features. Validators are randomly chosen like in PoS, but PoSA also considers their activity levels. Validators with deployed smart contracts have a higher chance of validating transactions, ensuring network security, reliability, and resistance to cheating, while rewarding validators for their efforts.
Exceptional Benefits
Discover the extensive array of advantages offered by "Proof of Stake and Activity" and gain a comprehensive understanding of how these benefits can significantly influence the outcomes of your upcoming projects.
Decentralization & Security
In POSA, network validator roles are distributed across a large number of participants, creating a more secure and resilient network that is less susceptible to centralization and security threats.
Virtuous Cycle
POSA incentivizes validators to actively participate, fostering a network where they are driven to uphold network health and security, ultimately earning more rewards and establishing a virtuous cycle.
Equal Opportunity
All validators are considered equal by the network, reducing the influence of large stake holders and creating a level playing field for all participants, ensuring fairness and equality.
Improved Network Activity
POSA incentivizes validators to care for the network they operate in, fostering interest, incentives, and potentially exponential growth for web3, driving significant and sustainable growth.
Increased Incentive for Developers
PoSA incentivizes contract developers to create high-quality, high-use contracts, as they will have more influence in the consensus process, leading to a more robust network ecosystem.
Sustainability and Innovation
By providing a secure, fair, and active network, POSA creates a strong foundation for sustainable growth and innovation in the web3 space, driving long-term success and prosperity.
PoSA Merge
Sahara Mainnet operates on the Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism with 9 authority nodes validating transactions. In October, we will upgrade to the Proof of Stake Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism.
