Algorand is a Layer 1 blockchain founded by Silvio Micali MIT professor and Turing Award winner. It runs on Pure Proof of Stake fast, energy efficient, and truly decentralized. Under 3 second block time, 10,000 TPS, and zero downtime since launch.
What sets it apart real world adoption. Governments, NGOs, enterprises actually using it. UN agencies used it for humanitarian aid in Afghanistan, and it's one of the few chains with post quantum security already in the works.
Less hype. More infrastructure.
