Proof of Stake
A Sybil-resistance mechanism that weights consensus voting power by bonded economic stake rather than computational work, with slashing to destroy the stake of validators who provably misbehave (e.g., sign conflicting blocks). It is how Tendermint-style BFT extends from a fixed replica set to an open validator set.
