Abstract

Blockchain consensus mechanisms are critical for ensuring security, efficiency, and scalability in decentralized networks. This study qualitatively examines ten widely used consensus algorithms—Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated PoS (DPoS), PBFT, Raft, Proof of Authority (PoA), Hybrid PoW/PoS, DAG/IOTA, Hashgraph, and Tendermint—within the research context of Bintan, Riau Islands, Indonesia. Performance was evaluated through literature review and simulated network observations, focusing on transaction throughput (TPS), latency, energy consumption, and network stability. Results indicate that DAG/IOTA and Hashgraph achieve the highest throughput with minimal latency, making them suitable for IoT and enterprise-scale applications. PoS and PoA offer energy-efficient alternatives, while PoW provides high security at the cost of high energy usage. Hybrid PoW/PoS demonstrates balanced performance across multiple metrics. Qualitative analysis highlights trade-offs among energy efficiency, throughput, latency, and decentralization. These findings provide practical guidance for selecting consensus mechanisms according to network requirements, operational constraints, and sustainability considerations, contributing a consolidated perspective on blockchain efficiency and scalability.
