What Elrond eGold is
Elrond eGold (EGLD) is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain, currently ranked 288th by market capitalization among the assets we track.

The token is simultaneously gas, collateral, and a claim on staking yield.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Validators propose and attest to blocks; honest behavior earns rewards, dishonest behavior burns the stake. That feedback loop is what lets Elrond eGold finalize transactions without miners.
