PoS. Ethereum’s “Phase Zero” of the PoS specification was frozen on June 30, 2019, with the formal launch targeted for January 3, 2020.142 PoW is also vulnerable to attacks. PoW blockchains publish new blocks to the longest available chain. Although difficult to accomplish, a malicious actor could devote overwhelming computational resources to rewriting a blockchain—developing different transactions with different nonce and hash values. This is known as the “51% attack.” At a point where their chain is the longest, the malicious actor could publish the blockchain, and the system would accept it as the valid one. By rewriting the chain, the malicious actor would reestablish the distribution of resources (i.e., which accounts have Bitcoin and how much the account holds). This would require substantial energy consumption, space, equipment, and money, and would all have to be done covertly to avoid being caught. While this may appear to be difficult to execute, PoW algorithms are not invulnerable.143 Author Information Corrie E. Clark Heather L.
