An algorithm was used for this purpose Proof-of-Stake, adding new elements to it.
It is based on the following assumptions: epochs and slots (slots), which are time units for the operation of the algorithm (the slot lasts 20 seconds, and the epoch 21 6000 slots) and withdrawals carried out every one epoch or in proportion to the coins collected at the beginning of the epoch, or according to the number of slots during which choosing a node network leader.
