Hybrid Consensus: Addressing Blockchain's Trilemma

Most blockchains face one hard question — how to stay decentralized, secure, and fast at the same time. Hybrid consensus models try to combine multiple methods such as Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, or Byzantine Fault Tolerance to balance those goals.

In this short video, we break down how hybrid consensus works, where it performs well, and what still needs proof at scale. You’ll see real project references like Decred, Polkadot, and research proposals exploring new combinations of mechanisms.

This video from Blockchain and Web3 Insights keeps the explanation practical and factual, helping you understand how design trade-offs can be managed rather than ignored.
