Delegated Proof of Stake is a consensus algorithm in which coin holders vote to choose a limited number of trusted nodes that create blocks on behalf of the entire network.
A road map is a public development plan of a crypto project that describes, stage by stage, the goals, key milestones, and approximate timelines for achieving them. It helps to assess a project's direction and maturity.
Proof of Service is a mechanism in which nodes perform useful functions for the network and receive a reward for this, provided they hold a fixed collateral of coins.
Proof-of-Storage is a mechanism in which participants provide disk space for shared data, and the network confirms that the files are indeed reliably stored.
Proof of Importance is a consensus algorithm that takes into account not only the size of the balance but also a participant's activity in the network when distributing the right to create blocks.
Proof of Capacity is a consensus algorithm in which miners use free space on storage drives instead of energy-intensive computations, which makes mining coins cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
Proof-of-Burn is a consensus algorithm in which a participant irreversibly destroys a portion of coins in order to earn the right to create blocks and claim a reward in the network.
Proof of Activity is a hybrid consensus algorithm that combines the Proof of Work and Proof of Stake mechanisms to increase the security and resilience of the network.
Proof of Work is a consensus algorithm in which the right to add a block and receive a reward depends on the amount of computational work done to find a hash.
Proof of Stake is a consensus algorithm in which the right to create blocks depends on the number of coins locked by a participant rather than on computing power.
