# kaal:claim:3266953-021

**Claim.** Because Semada's Anchor Protocol uses reputation scores as a non fungible currency to qualify for block propagation, the resulting proof of reputation consensus is attack resistant, fully decentralized, scalable, and open to evolutionary protocol upgrades.

**Type.** design  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- reputation scores that cannot be transferred

**Source quote.**

> Unlike traditional PoS, PoR, e.g. Semada's Anchor Protocol, uses reputation scores as a non-fungible currency to qualify for block propagation. As such, the Anchor protocol (PoR) is attack resistant, fully decentralized, scalable and allows evolutionary protocol upgrades.
