WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT POA NETWORK

POA Network is an open-source, public sidechain of the Ethereum protocol that uses a Proof-of-Authority algorithm as its consensus system. It is a platform aimed to make running and execution of smart contracts easier, cheaper, and faster. Apart from being the founder and CEO at CBAC, Andrew Cravenho is a Project Leader at POA Network, the first Ethereum-based Network with Proof of Authority consensus reached by independent validators. This public Network combines speed, security, and cost efficiency for smart contracts. It encompasses an EVM block chain as well as product development for the entire Ethereum ecosystem. It is an autonomous network secured by a group of trusted validators, all of which are United States notaries whose information is available on the public. This distributed group of known validators allows the Network to provide fast and inexpensive transactions.

All POA projects utilize Identicon to generate unique logos, a hash of the project name along with the project color scheme is used to create the visual identity for each project. This creates consistency while highlighting the uniqueness of each project. Furthermore, POA develops products and tools to improve interoperability, infrastructure, and transparency throughout the ecosystem. These include; BlockScout, an open-source explorer, TokenBridge, a multi-chain asset transfer solution, and the xDai Network, a stable coin-based Network.  Engaging with POA will help you experience and create a first-class application on our platform.

The POA Network also provides optimal conditions for game development and play, which is scalability for the Blockchain Games. The Network offers a powerful scalability solution for Ethereum DApps and developers. A consistent, high-performance environment means five-second block times, 60 transactions per second, and a minimal gas price of five Gwei.

A consistent, high-performance environment means five-second block times, 60 transactions per second, and a minimal gas price of five Gwei. This is ideal for game development and user experience. In addition to favorable network conditions, TokenBridge functionality provides move game tokens to and from the POA network. This is a “game-changer,” and several games are taking advantage of this feature to provide fast, cheap gameplay on POA Network while moving tokens across the bridge to access the more extensive Ethereum user base for marketplace functionality.

The POA token is used on the POA Network for transactional purposes, for transaction fees, and as a reward mechanism for validators. DApps such as DopeRaider use POA for in-game purchases as well as transaction costs, while others like Geon leverage POA for gas fees while providing users with their in-game tokens. POA20 token is a representation of the POA token available to use on the Ethereum main net. It is an ERC20 token that has all of the same properties as the POA token, but it is compatible with the main net. The POA Native Coin can be bridged to the Ethereum main net as POA20, and the coin is the native currency of the POA Network that is used for transactions and fees on the Network. POA20 is bridged to the main net and back using POA’s TokenBridge. This way, POA pioneers how blockchains connect and interact with one another. The POA Network cross-chain TokenBridge solutions provide interoperability and scalability, facilitating asset transfers between Ethereum-based networks.
