What is the difference between Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work?
Proof-of-Work is the original Consensus algorithm in the blockchain. It is used for confirming transactions and producing new blocks to the chain. In this miners compete with each other to complete the transactions on the network and get rewarded.
 
Proof-of-Stake makes the consensus mechanism completely virtual. In this, a set of nodes decide to stake their cryptocurrencies of the transaction validation.
