# kaal:claim:3125822-033

**Claim.** In the proof of stake application, a block is accepted by the network only if it carries proof of success in a betting pool, and that stamp constitutes the entire cryptographic security of the chain at far lower energy cost than proof of work mining.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- applies to the proof of stake use case built on the platform

**Source quote.**

> Blocks will only be accepted by the network if they have proof of success in a betting pool. This stamp is the entire cryptographic security, which costs far less energy to achieve than proof-of- work token mining.
