What are the different types of cryptocurrency consensus mechanisms?

—

Common cryptocurrency consensus mechanisms include:
Proof of Work (PoW): Miners solve complex mathematical problems to verify transactions and add them to the blockchain. Bitcoin and Ethereum use PoW.
Proof of Stake (PoS): Validators are selected based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold, and they are rewarded for verifying transactions.
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): Users delegate their voting rights to elected representatives, who then validate transactions.
