ALGORAND - ALGO

The Algorand public blockchain boasts the achievement of combining speed, decentralisation and security, three characteristics that are typically difficult to assemble in a single cryptocurrency. The entire team behind the project is made up of illustrious scientists, such as its creator Silvio Micali, an MIT professor and winner of the 2012 Turing Award (a sort of Nobel Prize in computing). The non-profit Algorand Foundation oversees and funds the development of the protocol.
