Blockchain is a type of decentralized distributed network which acts as an immutable digital ledger. Despite the absence of any central governing authority to validate the blocks in the ledger, it is considered secure and immutable due to the consensus protocol among various nodes of the network. A consensus algorithm is a mechanism that guarantees the reliability of the blockchain and helps all connected nodes or peers to reach common ground regarding the present state of the blockchain network thus an ideal consensus algorithm must be secure, reliable, and fast. There are several different algorithms to reach a consensus among the nodes thus this article seeks to test the practicality of Proof of Authority in the blockchain network as a consensus algorithm and its comparison with current mainstream consensus algorithms.
