- [3266953-018](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3266953-018) [definitional/asserted] -- Semada replaces fungible currency staking with reputation staking for block propagation, a consensus algorithm the authors call Semada Proof of Reputation.
  > Block propagation in the Semada platform is facilitated by staking reputation, not a fungible currency as in PoS. Accordingly, the consensus algorithm is called Semada Proof of Reputation (PoR).

- [3266953-019](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3266953-019) [mechanism/asserted] -- Under the Anchor Protocol, staking means anchoring reputation to a block, so a block producer whose block turns out to be invalid or is cancelled out suffers depreciation of their reputation.
  > Moreover, staking in the Anchor Protocol means anchoring your reputation to a block. In other words, Semada block producers anchor their reputation to a block, and if the block is invalid or cancelled out, their reputation depreciates.
