Proof of stake: you get a payment/dividend by staking your ETH holding so that it can be used to validate network transactions. This requires CPU resource so can be compared to mining.

The more ETH you stake for validation work, the greater your payout.

Payments go up and down against the total # of ETH staked in the same way difficulty adjustments work in PoW.

That is my crude understanding.
