A permissioned blockchain signifies an additional security system with an access control layer on blockchain that allows specific actions to be operated only by specific identifiable participants. Henceforth, the currency aims to develop a new public test network in order to prevent spam attacks on Ropsten testnet. Ropsten testnet is an Ethereum-based network that permits blockchain development and testing before launching on the main Ethereum network. To achieve this aim, POA developed a proof-of-authority consensus on the ETH protocol. Proof of authority is a reputation-based consensus algorithm that provides an efficient and practical solution for blockchain networks.

Furthermore, to ensure this smooth functioning on the POA network, the cryptocurrency launched the POA token. The token is used for paying the gas fee on the POA network and functions on the Ethereum protocol.
