Overall, proof-of-stake is thought to be more secure than proof-of-work. However, it has only recently been implemented for the real Ethereum Mainnet and is not as "[Lindy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect)" as proof-of-work, meaning it has not been as time-proven. The following sections discuss the pro's and cons of proof-of-stake's security model compared to proof-of-work.

Proof-of-stake Ethereum can pay for its security by issing far fewer coins than proof-of-work Ethereum because validators do not have to pay high electricity costs. This means ETH can be less inflationary, or even deflationary when large amounts of ETH are burned. This means proof-of-stake Ethereum's security is cheaper than under proof-of-work.
