The Proof of Work (POW) and Proof of Stake (POS) debate continues, as these 2 remain to be the most popular consensus mechanisms. While there is no question that the concept of a consensus agreement is fundamental to blockchain being successful, there is still the burning question of which process is best to reach that consensus.

While Proof of Work has been around since it was first written in the 1982 paper "The Byzantine Generals' Problem"

Proof of Stake was developed much later on back in 2012 to try to solve the problem of cost, inefficiency and the vulnerability toward centralization associated with Proof of Work.
