Consensus Layer upgrades

Consensus Layer Upgrades are modifications and enhancements to the Ethereum blockchain’s consensus mechanism, which ensures network agreement and security. These upgrades are categorized into three types: Proof-of-Work (PoW), Proof-of-Stake (PoS), and Proof-of-Authority (PoA). Each category represents a different method of validating transactions and maintaining the integrity of the blockchain, reflecting the evolution and diversification of Ethereum’s consensus protocols.
