## Ethereum

In 2022, Ethereum made its historic transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), now relying solely on validators instead of miners, to produce new blocks. As a result, the electricity consumption of Ethereum declined by over 99%. For all the major changes that the change brought to Ethereum, the upgrade has proved to have minimal impact on end users and companies. The lack of any noticeable network disruptions caused by the change affirms the success of the upgrade and security of the blockchain protocols.

**Features of Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake:**

* **99.98% less energy.** In comparison with mining, staking consumes very little energy. In addition Solstice aims to only use renewable energy for its staking infrastructure.
* **Less eWaste.** Minimal waste of electronic devices and no need for special hardware. Validator Nodes can be operated just from any Data Center. Solstice operates its staking infrastructure from high-secure facilities in Switzerland.
* **More resilience.** As it is harder to run a 51% attack against a PoS network, staking is an important method to ensure a resilient network.
* **More capital efficient.** Capital needs to be locked as collateral in the native token (Staking) resulting in staking rewards.
