# mindchain #mind #musd #mind20 All About Proof of Authority (PoA) Proof of Authority was proposed in 2017 by Gavin Wood, co-founder of the world's second-largest blockchain, Ethereum . And has since become a prominent consensus mechanism. There were two main drivers behind this proposal. And the growing need to move away from energy-intensive proof-of-work and to address certain problems found in proof-of-stake. The cryptocurrency space has changed a lot since the first blockchain transactions on the Bitcoin network. In addition to the well-known proof-of-work and proof-of-stake algorithms. Other consensus mechanisms have been proposed, including alternative methods of reaching consensus within blockchain systems. What is proof of authority? Proof of Authority (PoA) is a reputation-based consensus algorithm that introduces a practical and efficient solution for blockchain networks . The PoA consensus algorithm leverages the value of identity, wh...
