- [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).

- [3266953-021](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3266953-021) [design/argued] -- 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.
  > 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.
