I'm trying to understand whether Ripple is using a Proof of Stake (PoS) or a Proof of Work (PoW) system. I need clarification on this to have a better understanding of Ripple's consensus mechanism.

In a PoS system, validators stake their own cryptocurrencies to participate in consensus and earn rewards.
