What methods are used to achieve consensus?

Is there a source that offers or maintains an exhaustive list of all the methods that are currently used to achieve consensus?

Hi @Gbit-lab,

I wouldn’t call it exhaustive but doing a quick search I found this:


It did miss this one and probably others as well:

I hope this is what you meant.

I don’t have a list but there is a lot of them for sure. Many are experimenting with completely new ways to reach consensus. The most popular ones are: POW (Proof of Work), POS (Proof of Stake), DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake). Thanks @bisks for the help. :muscle:
