  Proof of activity is a consensus mechanism used in some cryptocurrencies to secure the network and validate transactions. It combines elements of proof of work and proof of stake. In proof of activity, participants must first prove their ownership of a certain amount of cryptocurrency by staking it. Once they have proven ownership, they can then participate in the consensus process by solving cryptographic puzzles. The first participant to solve the puzzle is rewarded with newly minted coins and the right to add the next block to the blockchain. This mechanism ensures that participants have a stake in the network and are incentivized to act honestly.
