Description of Algorand (ALGO)

Algorand – an open source blockchain platform, launched in 2019 by the Algorand Foundation, which aims to change the way cryptocurrencies are developed. This goal is achieved by increasing the speed of transactions, reducing the time for their implementation and increasing the security of the blockchain without compromising decentralization. Algorand's main network became operational in June 2019 and was able to process nearly 1 million transactions per day as of December 2020.

The network seeks to prevent fraud in its infancy, not to punish it. Algorand has appeared to improve security and scalability through a decentralized approach, while attracting funding from many private investors. One of the important advantages of this blockchain is that each new ALGO token that appears in the system is distributed among all owners of this cryptocurrency.

Key features of the coin defi platform

To divide blocks into segments, Algorand uses a special random selection process, called a lottery. The segments have two groups: the proposal stage and the voting round. These lotteries, also referred to as “cryptographic sorting,” help to speed up the completion of a transaction and the addition of the final entry to the blockchain. With this mechanism, users don't have to wait 20 or more confirmations to see if a transaction went through.

Investors can expect the following benefits:

Transactions Algorand has appeared to speed up transactions and improve efficiency in response to the slow transaction times of Bitcoin and other blockchains.
Fees The project helps to charge lower transaction fees as well as no mining as it runs on a pure Proof of Stake (PoS) protocol.

Algorand is also characterized by inclusiveness, which means that anyone with a token (and who is online) can participate in node validation. This process is very simple. Participants simply need to go to AlgoExplorer and stake a certain amount of ALGO tokens.

How to buy a coin?

10 billion tokens were minted. The distribution of a fixed and immutable 10 billion ALGO will end in 2030. You can buy coins on the following exchanges:

  • Coinbase;
  • Binance;
  • OKEx;
  • Kraken;
  • Huobi.

Popular Algorand price pairs include: ALGO/USD, ALGO/GBP, ALGO/AUD and ALGO/EUR.
