The consensus mechanism is one of the key differences between the leading blockchain networks and Druid Chain. Druid Chain uses proof of stake, which needs roughly 2 million times less energy than the Bitcoin network's proof of work consensus mechanism.
One of Druid Chain's mandates is to be net-zero from day one. To ensure this, the entire blockchain network will be deployed only in data centres powered by renewable energy — this would be a unique accomplishment for a blockchain network.
Speed and high transaction rate are critical for high-frequency impact data ingestion from a myriad of distributed sources. Druid Chain has the capacity to handle upwards of 10,000 transactions per second. With this, Druid Chain is poised to take on future challenges as demand on the network increases.
