Proof of work requires miners to use computational power and energy to be the first to solve complex mathematical problems and receive block rewards, while proof of stake determines who can validate new blocks based on the wealth or stake they hold in the currency, with validators receiving transaction fees rather than block rewards, making proof of stake thousands of times more energy efficient.
