## **Objective 1: Arti supports directory authorities**
Directory authorities are a group of special-purpose relays on the Tor network that maintain the list of currently-running relays and every hour publish a consensus view of the network. In Tor terms, a consensus is a single signed document compiled and voted on by the directory authorities once per hour, ensuring that all clients have the same information about the relays that make up the Tor network. Currently eight relays are considered directory authorities and have been chosen to be in these positions because of their operator’s long-term contributions to the Tor network and Tor community.
