Question 1 - Describe the Proof-of-Authority (PoA) protocol

---

The Proof of Authority (PoA) protocol is transforming into perhaps one of the most interesting arrangements of blockchain innovation as the proof of authority brings more credibility and problem solving to the blockchain lacking.

Proof of Stake was intended to take care of the issues of Proof of work, Be that as it may, Proof of stake has its downsides, while Proof of Work-based blockchain has execution limits, Proof of Stake keeps on battling adaptability. Proof of Authority was built to be quicker and more adaptable than the previous consensus.

Proof of Authority is an improvement of Proof of Stake, wherein, the validators of the organization stake their reputation as opposed to staking their coins that were seen in PoS, This makes the PoA protocol safer since in such a case that there is a venomous movement by an approving block, it tends to be followed down to the individual who possesses the block.

Proof of Authority (PoA) is a consensus mechanism that presents a useful and proficient answer for blockchain trilemma.

In summary, The Proof of Authority uses the worth of validators' reputations, which implies that block validators are not staking coins rather their reputation instead.

Question 6 - How is the value of a club or team's Fan Token affected before and after playing a match? If the result is a victory, does its value go up? On the contrary, if it suffers a defeat, does its price go down in the market? Reason for your answer and present at least one recent example, preferably in the week between Sunday 12 and Saturday 18 December.

---

To answer this question, I will be analyzing the Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token corresponding to their last two matches and I as well will show the effect of the football match-winning on the PSG Fan Token.

^{Image Screenshot From google}

The PSG team had their last two games played on Tue 7th December against Club Brugge as their last match of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The match ended up with 4 -1 winning to the PSG team.

^{Image Screenshot From TradingView}

From the analysis above, we could see the PSG Fan token market behavior in the time frame of 30 minutes interval, the gameplay started at 18:45, before the match the market was on bullish thou not very strong then after the match began we started experiencing a downtrend which means sellers at that moment were controlling the market, this was a little bit surprising to expectations despite the winning the team is currently possessing but this then brings to my belief that the loss or winning of the team doesn't control the market behavior of the PSG Fan Token, rather some other moment might have cause improvements such as buying new players, new management or a new coach.

---

Another insight to look at is the other gameplay that happened between the PSG team and Monaco on 12th December, A Ligue 1 match.

^{Image Screenshot From google}

The game as well happened with winning on the PSG team side, A gameplay of 2-0, where one of the most favorite PSG players (Mbappe) scored 2 goals that day.

^{Image Screenshot From TradingView}

From the image above, we could see the market the direction after the second gameplay on Dec 12, before the match the PSG Token was actually stable a little bit in an uptrend as we get to see the market then trending above the macd indicator, later after the match was played there was a little uptrend but afterward the following day December 13, the market suffered a heavy loss as we get to see the market moves in a heavy downtrend next.

My Opinion:These two analyses have shown, have been able to decide that the win or loss of the team doesn't determine the market value rather other interesting features like new management or cup winning might increase the value of the Fan Token.

Conclusion

---

Socio.com has been a fantastic platform despite that it's still in developing mode, the platform possesses a lot of attractive features with a very more optimistic uprise in the future. With features such as vote, polling, fans can be pleased to partake in great deals, as an individual everyone loves to be heard and that's what the socio platform promise where it states "Be more than a fan".

The Fan token is mostly impressive especially to crypto specialists which with management decisions everyone can easily predict which token will rise or drop in the future, it is a very impressive business idea that I as well would be dealing with later in the future.

I believe have been able to made justice to the homework task, as I have properly explained the chiliz network and as well the socio app features.

Thank you professor @imagen, it's quite an interesting topic which I was happy to participate in.
