What is Algorand (ALGO??

Algorand (ALGO) is a high-speed blockchain designed to address the blockchain trilemma — balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. It was founded by Silvio Micali, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor and Turing Award laureate. ALGO differs from legacy proof-of-work blockchains as it utilizes the Pure Proof-of-Stake (PPoS) consensus method which randomly selects validators based on stake. This keeps the network secure and efficient without relying on energy-intensive mining. As a result, Algorand can handle thousands of transactions per second with minimal fees and near-instant confirmations. Algorand supports a growing universe of decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized assets, and business applications. Developers use its Layer 1 blockchain for smart contracts, while institutions and businesses utilize it for payments, asset issuance, and cross-border transactions. The Algorand network is carbon-neutral, highlighting its commitment to sustainability. Unlike Bitcoin, Algorand has no fixed supply cap. Its network is continually updated to improve performance and expand functionality. As smart contract capabilities and interoperability evolve, they drive increased adoption across various industries. Beyond financial applications, Algorand is gaining traction among governments, enterprises, and blockchain initiatives globally.
