Blockstake owns and operates a portfolio of cash flow generating cryptoassets. Masternodes, also known as bonded validators, are special computers that verify transactions on a blockchain network and require a large stake of currency as collateral. In exchange for running these nodes, we receive a portion of the newly minted coins on the network. Thus Blockstake is able to benefit from price appreciation while maintaining ongoing cash flows. Blockstake is an active miner across multiple Proof of Stake (PoS) networks. In a Proof of Stake system the miners are not machines, but individuals with a large stake of currency. By holding a stake, they become eligible to validate transactions and create new blocks. This alternative form of mining requires significantly less energy and capital expenditures than previous Proof of Work systems.
