Overview: What is Algorand?

Algorand is a self-sufficient, decentralized, blockchain-based network that enables a variety of applications. These systems are safe, scalable, and efficient, which are all essential qualities for effective real-world applications. Algorand will support calculations that necessitate dependable performance assurances for the development of new forms of trust.

The Algorand mainnet became live in June 2019, and by December 2020, it was able to process around one million transactions per day. Here, you can check transaction metrics for Algorand. Initial coin offering (ICO) for Algorand was held in June 2019, at a price per token of $2.4.

Algorand Founders

Professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and founder of Algorand, Silvio Micali teaches computer science at MIT. His contributions to the theory and implementation of secure two-party computation, electronic payments, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain protocols earned him the 2012 Turing Award. This makes him one of the most influential crypto inventors in the world.

What Makes Algorand Unique?

In response to the long transaction times of Bitcoin and other blockchains, Algorand was created to accelerate transactions and increase efficiency. As it is based on a permissionless pure proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain system, Algorand is intended with cheaper transaction fees and no mining (unlike Bitcoin's energy-intensive procedure).

Ethereum Compatibility of Algorand

The Algorand Foundation announced a $10 million grant to Applied Blockchain on February 17, 2022, for the development of the London Bridge, a trustless bridge that will provide Ethereum compatibility to the Algorand blockchain. Despite offering low-cost transactions, low latency, and excellent scalability, Algorand has struggled to draw liquidity to its ecosystem. Algorand might link to these applications and attract additional liquidity if it had a bridge to Ethereum, which has the most mature DApp ecosystem at present. Long-term, the Algorand Foundation intends to incorporate state proofs in the form of Compact Certificates into the Algorand Consensus in order to verify other chains on Alogrand's smart contracts. The end objective of the foundation is to solidify the DeFi ecosystem on Algorand.

How Many Algorand (ALGO) ?

According to the inception of the Algorand blockchain, 10 billion ALGO were created. The distribution of the fixed and unchangeable 10 billion ALGO will conclude in 2030, as opposed to 2024 as originally planned. To learn more about Algorand's tokenomics, click here.

How is Algorand's network protected?

The Algorand blockchain protocol is a permissionless proof-of-stake blockchain. In contrast to proof-of-work (PoW) blockchains, with which the root block must be certified by randomly-selected validators (using computer power), in the pure proof-of-stake approach, all validators are known to one another and simply need to agree on the next block to produce a new block.
