- [3125822-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-033) [mechanism/argued] -- 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.
