ACE-SUPPRA (Security, Usability, Performance, and Privacy Research on Algorand) is an initiative from the Blockchain Research Cluster of Technical University of Munich (TUM). TUM is an interdisciplinary network of research groups that investigate and further develop the technical, economic, legal, and social aspects of blockchain-based solutions. Like TUM, ACE-SUPPRA is interdisciplinary by default, encouraging outreach and education, with special research interest into the technological, economic, and social aspects of blockchain platforms and the Algorand protocol. SUPPRA’s research is split into areas led by experts in each field: Assessment of the Algorand infrastructure, aiming for the improvement of its performance and communication security; Performance enhancements using SmartNICs for offloading network operations; Smart contract capabilities - aiming to improve robustness, quality, and security as key factors for blockchain adoption and usability; Tokenomics and governance of the Algorand platform and beyond.
