Imagine you and your friends are playing a fun game with a magic coin. This magic coin allows you to make decisions, and you take turns holding the coin.
Now, in the game, you and your friends have different amounts of candies. The more candies you have, the more chances you get to hold the magic coin. This is because the magic coin wants to be with the friend who has the most candies and is the most responsible.
Instead of candies, in the cryptocurrency world, people use digital coins or tokens, and this game is called “Proof of Stake.”
So, in “Proof of Stake,” if you have a lot of digital coins, you have a better chance of being chosen to validate and create new blocks in the blockchain. When you create a new block, you get some more digital coins as a reward. This is like getting more candies for being a responsible friend who holds the magic coin.
The game helps keep the blockchain safe and secure because everyone wants to be a responsible friend and have a chance to get more digital coins. And since creating new blocks is an essential part of the blockchain, it’s a game that helps make everything fair and fun for everyone involved.
