Alvey is a decentralized blockchain that uses a proof-of-stake consensus model, which means that the authors of subsequent blocks are randomly selected based on how much cryptocurrency they have in their wallet and the maturity of that wallet, constantly rotating addresses to ensure Decentralization and network participation. Blocks are usually created or minted, not mined; in addition to transaction fees, there are block rewards, so builders receive a percentage of "interest" on the amount of funds they stake.
