Approval by Consensus Algorithm

Consensus Algorithm
Proof-of-Skill Protocol
To ensure that assignments accurately validate skills, we use the approval by consensus algorithm. Here's how it works:
Skill Validator Submits an Assignment: The assignment claims to evaluate certain skills.
Voting: Other Skill Validators review the assignment and vote on 5 or 6 skills they think are demonstrated. Validators may vote on additional skills, but only the claimed skills count for approval.
Approval by Consensus: If a majority (e.g., 5 out of 9 validators) confirm that the claimed skills are present, the assignment is approved. If fewer than 5 agree, the assignment is rejected.
Voting Rewards & Penalties: All Skill Validators start with 10 votes. After each assignment, successful validators (those whose votes align with the majority) receive +2 votes and a monetary reward, while unsuccessful validators have 1 vote deducted. This ensures accuracy and consistency.
