About Algorand
The Algorand blockchain — designed by the MIT professor and Turing Award winning cryptographer Silvio Micali — aims to deliver on the promise of a borderless global economy. It achieves transaction throughputs at the speed of traditional finance, with near-zero transaction costs, on a 24/7 basis. Its carbon-neutral platform and pure proof-of-stake consensus mechanism solves for the “blockchain trilemma” by achieving both security and scalability on a decentralized protocol.
The Algorand Foundation is dedicated to helping fulfill the global promise of the Algorand blockchain by taking responsibility for its sound monetary supply economics, decentralized governance, and healthy and prosperous open-source ecosystem.
