# Proof of Animal (POA) **Proof of Animal (POA) Consensus Mechanism** The platform has implemented an AI-driven verification process to safeguard against ONS manipulation. These processes gather consensus from verifiers, thereby establishing an immutable system designed to maintain secure and reliable ADID records. This methodology is termed "PoA = Proof of Animal." PoA is deployed on the OP Mainnet connected to the Ethereum blockchain. The WILD Platform’s architecture incorporates a stake-and-verify model. Verifiers must maintain a security deposit in WILDCOIN to participate in the ADID verification process. Manual verification of subject animals or ONs records may be required from time to time. For example, a user may submit an ownership dispute for a subject animal that has been fraudulently submitted to the platform. Alternatively, verifiers may need to review and approve legitimate ADID creation for any subject animal registering a false positive identity record. In exchange for these services, verifiers earn WILDCOIN. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
