    At BYDFi, we believe that both proof of work and proof of stake have their merits. While PoW has been the dominant consensus mechanism in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, PoS has gained popularity in recent years due to its energy efficiency and scalability. We are actively exploring and supporting projects that utilize both PoW and PoS, as well as other innovative consensus mechanisms, to build a more sustainable and decentralized cryptocurrency ecosystem.
