AION Consensus is a unique mechanism used in the AION blockchain network to achieve agreement among distributed nodes. It combines elements of both Proof of Work and Proof of Stake to enhance security and efficiency. This hybrid approach allows for faster transaction processing while maintaining a decentralized structure. The AION Consensus aims to facilitate interoperability between different blockchains, enabling them to communicate and share data seamlessly. By using this consensus model, AION seeks to create a more connected and scalable blockchain ecosystem, addressing some of the limitations found in traditional blockchain networks.
