TL;DR
Proof-of-Steak (PoS) is a novel blockchain consensus mechanism that integrates culinary elements to create a circular economy, combining blockchain technology with sustainable practices and innovative tokenomics.
Contribution
This paper introduces the concept of Proof-of-Steak, a unique blockchain protocol that incorporates culinary processes and circular economy principles, which is a novel approach in blockchain research.
Findings
Proof-of-Steak enables a fully-circular blockchain economy.
It incorporates Non-Frangipane Tokens and heat-based minting.
Potential for global impact and sustainability improvements.
Abstract
We introduce Proof-of-Steak (PoS) as a fundamental net-zero block generation technique, often accompanied by Non-Frangipane Tokens. Genesis cut is gradually heated and minted (using the appropriate sauce), enabling the miners to redirect the extracted gold and the dissipated heat into the furnace, hence enabling the first fully-circular economy ever built using blockchain technology, utilising tamper-evident steak hach\'e. In this paper we present the basic ingredients for building Proof-of-Steak, assessing its global impact, and opportunities to save the world and beyond!
