The term has been introduced for the first time in 2017 by Gavin Wood, and this consensus algorithm has been mostly used by private chains, testnets and local development networks, as it overcomes the need for high quality resources as POW does, and overcomes the scalability issues with POS by having small subset of nodes storing the blockchian and producing blocks. -Proof-of-authority requires trusting a set of authorized signers that are set in the [genesis block](/glossary/#genesis-block). In most current implementations, all authorized signers retain equal power and privileges when determining consensus of the chain. The idea behind reputation staking is every authorized validator is well-known to everyone through things like know-your customer (KYC), or by having a well-known organization being the only validator. This way if a validator does anything wrong, their identity is known. +Proof-of-Authority requires trusting a set of authorized signers that are set in the [genesis block](/glossary/#genesis-block).
