Coin concentration of Proof-of-Stake blockchains

Irresberger, Felix; Yang, Ruomei

Abstract

This paper studies the concentration of block production in selected Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains and finds evidence consistent with participants entering and leaving the consensus process, thereby changing the concentration level, but not with disproportionate compounding of wealth for large stakes.
