has pos been deployed in the wild at large scale yet ?
- pawelduda 4y agoEthereum switching to PoS in 5 days, and a bunch of large blockchains have been running PoS (with various consensus mechanisms) for quite some time now.
- sudodude 4y agoEthereum is about to transition in a fortnightt after years of development and testing.
- nl 4y agoYes. Most L1 chains outside Bitcoin and Ethereum use PoS or variants of it. For example Solana, Cardano, Polkadot, Polygon, Avalanche and NEAR all are proof-of-stake chains. Ripple has another non-PoW mechanism too.
- lloeki 4y agoETH Beacon Chain uses PoS, shipped on December 1, 2020: https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/beacon-chain/ https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/beacon-chain/ ETH Mainnet is due to replace PoW by PoS by merging with Beacon Chain this September: https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/ https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/
