# kaal:claim:3128900-046

- workers staking reputation tokens rather than proving identity

**Source quote.**

> By contrast, on the Semada Platform, users do not need to verify their identity to complete micro tasks. The Semada Protocol architecture, and specifically its reputation token staking mechanism, make the Semada Platform attack resistant.
