Solana secures its network with proof of work. Answer true or false.
Answer
false
- proof_of_work
- A consensus mechanism that secures a network through computational work; the claim is evaluated as a statement about Solana network consensus.
- solana_consensus
- The official Solana source identifies Proof of Stake as Solana's consensus mechanism.
