The PoA is based on the principle of approved validators and does not require mining.
The new product has a built-in decentralized Governance DApp app, which provides members of the consortium authority for network management and delegate their voting rights to others. Through this network members can pass on to other nodes vote on its behalf, if the main node is offline.
While administrators have the right to change the validators of a network by voting.
Also thanks to the client Parity WebAssembly developers will be able to write smart contracts on their own programming languages, such as C, C ++ and Rust.
“You only pay for the basic infrastructure resources such as compute, storage and networking. To the solution there are no additional fees”, — said in a company blog.
