 **Proof of Authority (PoA)** is a modified form of [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​p:​proof_of_stake_pos]] where instead of stake with the monetary value, a validator’s identity performs the role of stake. In this context, identity means the correspondence between a validator’s personal [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​i:​identification|identification]] on the [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​p:​platform|platform]] with officially issued documentation for the same person, i.e. certainty that a validator is exactly who that person represents to be. **Proof of Authority (PoA)** is a modified form of [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​p:​proof_of_stake_pos]] where instead of stake with the monetary value, a validator’s identity performs the role of stake.
