A token generation event (TGE) refers to a crypto project creating and releasing a digital token to eligible users.

10 top Proof of Stake tokens in 2024
Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus algorithm used in blockchain networks to validate transactions and create new blocks. PoS differs from Proof of Work (PoW) in that it doesn't require nodes to solve complex mathematical puzzles. Instead, validators are chosen based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold. This makes PoS more energy-efficient and cost-effective than PoW.
