# Sources

## Sources

Sources are where commands are originated. They can be any platform that can be publicly verified, and gives the validator network the ability to confirm that a statement was made by a specific entity. For example, a Source could be a message board, a personally owned website, a social media profile, etc. When determining sources, it is important to consider a few concepts:

#### Identity <a href="#identity" id="identity"></a>

You must be able to confirm the identity of the person making the content

#### Content <a href="#content" id="content"></a>

The content must be publicly verifiable, so that a quorum of validators can verify the content

#### Consistency <a href="#consistency" id="consistency"></a>

Validators must be able to verify the content and get identical results. So they must agree on all metadata associated with any source media.
