Proof of Space (PoS) is a consensus algorithm where mining requires proving that a certain amount of storage space is available.

PROOF OF STAKE (POS)

Proof of stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism where validators are chosen based on the number of coins they hold and are willing to 'stake' as collateral.

PROOF OF WORK (POW)

Proof of work (PoW) is a consensus mechanism that requires miners to solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and create new blocks.
