What is the Algorand blockchain, and how does it work?
Algorand's PPoS consensus algorithm distinguishes it from other blockchain networks that help solve blockchain trilemma. What is Algorand?Algorand is a blockchain network created in 2017 by Silvio Micali, an MIT professor who won the Turing Award for his work in cryptography. Algorand is a decentralized permissionless blockchain protocol that anyone can use to develop applications and transfer value. The Algorand protocol is powered by a novel consensus algorithm that enables fast, secure and scalable transactions.Algorand addresses the common issues that most older blockchains have,....
