# Consensus Protocols
Pantheon implements a number of consensus protocols:
* Ethash (Proof of Work)
* [Clique](Clique.md) (Proof of Authority)
* [IBFT 2.0](IBFT.md) (Proof of Authority)
* [Quorum IBFT 1.0](QuorumIBFT.md) (Proof of Authority)
The genesis file specifies the consensus protocol for a chain in the `config` property:
```json tab="Ethash"
{
"config": {
...
"ethash": {
}
},
...
}
```
```json tab="Clique"
{
"config": {
....
"clique": {
...
}
},
...
}
```
```json tab="IBFT 2.0"
{
"config": {
....
"ibft2": {
...
}
},
...
}
```
```json tab="IBFT 1.0"
{
"config": {
....
"ibft": {
...
}
},
...
}
```
