Liquid Proof of Stake (LPoS)

Liquid Proof of Stake (LPoS)

Last Updated: January 23, 2026

Liquid Proof of Stake is a consensus mechanism allowing flexible delegation of staking power while securing blockchain networks.

Liquid Proof of Stake is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks to validate transactions and secure the network. It allows token holders to delegate their staking power to validators without transferring ownership of their tokens. This flexibility encourages participation by lowering entry barriers and increasing liquidity. Validators are chosen based on the amount of delegated stake, which incentivizes them to act honestly. LPoS combines the strengths of Proof of Stake and Delegated Proof of Stake systems, aiming for a more democratic and efficient network. This approach enhances scalability while maintaining decentralization and security in the blockchain ecosystem.
