Consensus Mechanics

Great progress! Now, how does VeChainThor agree on truth? 🔒

Consensus ensures all nodes validate transactions and blocks. VeChainThor produce blocks every ~10s, delivering 100% uptime since 2018 and ultra-low energy (0.000216 kWh/tx).
No hacks ever!

But enter the Blockchain Trilemma (Vitalik Buterin): Can't max decentralization, security, AND speed. VeChain initially traded some decentralization for enterprise speed/security.

Hayabusa (Dec 2025) shifted to Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): VET holders delegate to Validators, who produce blocks and share rewards (70% to delegators).

More community power, same reliability!

Solid work!
