### Client-authoritative or server-authoritative?

We’ll demonstrate how to convert the asset using both methods. The **client-authoritative approach** is simpler to implement and offers players a smooth experience, but it carries the drawback of being more vulnerable to cheating. In contrast, the **server-authoritative approach** significantly reduces the risk of cheating, though it introduces higher input latency. This latency can be mitigated through **client-side prediction (CSP)**, which adds complexity but ensures responsiveness. The tutorial will guide you step by step through setting up CSP. However, before diving into the **server-authoritative + CSP tutorial**, it’s strongly recommended that you first review the [**Client-side Prediction guides**](/docs/guides/features/prediction/what-is-client-side-prediction.md) to build a solid foundation.
