...To support the more power-efficient alternative of apportioning consensus group membership based on directly invested stake rather than work, OmniLedger builds on Ouroboros [31] and Algorand [25], running a public randomness or cryptographic sortition protocol within a prior validator group to pick a subsequent validator group from the current stakeholder distribution defined in the ledger....

...For the underlying network, we make the same assumption as prior work [31], [34], [36]....

...First, OmniLedger must choose statistically representative groups of validators periodically via permissionless Sybil-attackresistant foundations such as proof-of-work [36], [38], [32] or proof-of-stake [31], [25]....

...As illustrated by Figure 9, the major difference of PoST from PoR lies in the repeated execution phases for challenge updating without rerunning the initialization stage....

...Based on the quantitative analysis of the properties in Table II, the same framework of security evaluation has been adopted by the studies in consensus protocols using other types of puzzle design such as Proof of Stakes (PoS) [78], [91]....

...B. Issues of Incentive Compatibility in PoS Regarding the incentive compatibility of PoS, an informal analysis in [78] shows that being honest is a δ-Nash equilibrium20 strategy when the stakes of the malicious nodes are less than a certain threshold and the endorsers are insensitive to transaction validation cost....
[...]
...A modified PoS protocol is subsequently proposed to incentivize the serving peers to work as the consensus nodes of the blockchain without consuming significant computational power....
[...]
...For this reason, PoS is also known as a process of “virtual mining” [4] since the block miners do not consume any resources....
