Question# 1

Describe the Leased Proof-of-Stake (LPoS) consensus mechanism. What are the differences with Proof-of-Stake (PoS)?

In simple words Leased Proof of stake is a variant of Proof-of-stake deployed by the waves network. As we know that chances of node to validate a block and gets accredited with rewards increases with the holdings of the native token so large token holders get tokens from small token holders. Thus, we can say the nodes on the network that have small staking and thus are not eligible to partake in validation of block lease out their holdings to nodes that are eligible to increase their chances of validating a block. This consensus mechanism is deployed on platforms that require full nodes to validate transactions but allow every user to participate in the network. **Difference between PoS and LPoS** POS | LPOS ------ | ------- Any node holding a specified number of tokens can participate in validating transactions and thus the block. | only full nodes can participate in block validation and thus the phenomenon of leasing is used. Small to large token holders participate in block generation. | Small scale investors lease their tokens to full nodes and earn in this way on the network. The rewards from block validation are divided among the nodes. | The rewards are divided among the nodes and those who leased their amount. You can only directly participate in mining if you have sizeable amount of staking. | You can indirectly participate in mining if you lease your staking. ![250279614_769067857386583_6146508252355001787_n.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUphVxGSPavPhgGQiSduu6TsqJCnxPUBxb2v7aEKBK9fX/250279614_769067857386583_6146508252355001787_n.png)

Question# 5

Describe Waves Ducks What is this project about? How is it accessed? Be as explicit as possible. Show Screenshots?

Waves Ducks is an NFT game that allows entertainment and earning opportunity. It allows you to build your own ecosystem also known as the DUCK empire and earn up to 287% APY. All the ducks in the game are valuable collectibles and have a market value. These NFTs can also be used to earn money on trading them. To assess you need to acquire the EGG tokens. There are two ways to acquire EGG tokens by directly buying them from our native token or winning these in different challenges. The EGG tokens will then be swapped with unique tokens which all have different values and these ducks are then fed to get more ducks. There are many features on the Ducks Waves to explore visit wavesducks.com **The landing page looks like this from here click on start playing** ![10.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPX1ZthRePN3pWWMvdjnYv8oQDUKrkh9fpnCXW4zJGQNL/10.png) In the My ducks option you see your ducks all your collection. Or ducks that you have put to sale or that are contesting or sent to farming etc. ![11.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbexr8mMYEbC1QcCJb3dfXyTSbADc3dBJPsTsrAeEXvmF/11.png) In the marketplace you see a market of ducks for sale. You have various categories based on your likeness. ![12.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmekeswxX4qyP7U5y1eLJ73ZhvSMFwakP1NLTd2k1QSQBy/12.png) In the play to earn option we see various farms option to choose to play.

Conclusion:

Summarizing the whole post, we studied about the Leased Proof of stake consensus and the differences it has with proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. We also shed light on the concept of full nodes and how small token holders on the wave’s ecosystem lease their tokens to full nodes to indirectly partake in the mining process. We then explored the waves platform and the Ducks waves. ![250279614_769067857386583_6146508252355001787_n.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUphVxGSPavPhgGQiSduu6TsqJCnxPUBxb2v7aEKBK9fX/250279614_769067857386583_6146508252355001787_n.png)
