Delegated Proof of Stake

Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks, serving as a hybrid alternative to Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW). It enhances efficiency and scalability by introducing a voting-based system where token holders elect a small group of delegates (validators) to validate transactions and maintain the network.
