Blockchain Without Waste: Proof-of-Stake

Peercoin blockchain

Proof-of-Stake was first deployed as a stand-alone protocol on the Nxt blockchain. 

Nxt blockchain

Proof-of-Stake has found much recent usage in decentralized applications relating to betting markets and decentralized exchanges. Over 50 Proof-of-Stake projects have been announced from 2015 to 2020.

Decentralized applications (dApps) in Proof-of-Stake

Algorand is a recently launched Proof-of-Stake blockchain that offers the potential for further applications such as tokenization and faster settlement processes.
