PIVX relies on a Proof of Stake system to secure its network, meaning that token holders who stake (or delegate) PIV help validate transactions and earn rewards, no power-hungry mining is necessary.
Key benefits PIVX gains from PoS include:
🟣 Energy efficiency & lower hardware barrier - validating nodes don’t need specialized mining rigs.
🟣 Passive income for users - you can stake even small amounts (as little as 1 PIV) to earn rewards.
🟣 Integration with privacy & advanced features - PoS works alongside PIVX’s SHIELD zero-knowledge privacy layer, masternodes, and cold staking, allowing flexibility in how you secure, transact, and remain private.
By choosing PoS, PIVX trades the environmental costs of mining for a system that scales sustainably, rewards participation, and supports its privacy and governance ambitions.
