MATRIX adopts a unique hybrid PoS + PoW consensus mechanism. This means that both Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) are used in the consensus process. In the PoS component, a smaller network of delegates is selected through a random distributed voting algorithm. The probability of a node being selected as a delegate is proportional to its stake in the network. This means that nodes with more stake have a higher chance of being selected as delegates.

Overall, the hybrid PoS + PoW consensus mechanism used by MATRIX combines the advantages of both approaches. It leverages the security and decentralization of PoW while also benefiting from the efficiency and scalability of PoS.
