As an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token, STMX is secured by [Ethereum’s](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) proof-of-stake ([PoS](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos)) consensus mechanism. The PoS consensus mechanism relies on stakeholders to become transaction validators. This is what differentiates this consensus from the proof-of-work ([PoW](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow)) utilized by Bitcoin.

Ethereum-based tokens can be integrated into [DApps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps) and smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.
