Algorand is a decentralized blockchain network that aims to solve the blockchain trilemma by providing a secure, scalable, and fully decentralized network. Furthermore, because the source code of the Algorand blockchain is entirely open source and permissionless, the network is designed to be accessible and provide an ideal environment for developers to deploy decentralized applications (DApps) rapidly.
The Algorand blockchain is secured by an innovative Pure-Proof-of-Stake (PPoS) consensus mechanism. This gives Algorand the necessary processing power to execute over 1,000 transactions per second. Moreover, the Algorand network benefits from low gas fees, making it user-friendly.
One of the unique benefits of Algorand over other blockchains is that ALGO holders can earn rewards without needing to stake their ALGO tokens due to its unique consensus mechanism. Instead, rewards are automatically distributed to holders via the chain's PPoS consensus model. Hence, many traders consider Algorand an excellent blockchain for the mass adoption of cryptocurrency.
ALGO is the utility and governance token of the Algorand blockchain. ALGO is required to pay gas fees when completing on-chain transactions and is used to vote on essential governance proposals regarding the development of the Algorand blockchain. In 2020, it was announced that the Marshallese sovereign (SOV), which could become the first state-backed digital currency to enter circulation, would be built using the Algorand protocol. SOV is a blockchain-based currency and the new legal tender of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. SOV could become the first state-backed digital currency to enter circulation and is being built using the Algorand protocol by SFB Technologies.
ALGO price and tokenomics
The current circulating supply of ALGO tokens is approximately 7.07 billion tokens. This represents roughly 70 percent of the total ALGO supply of 10 billion tokens. The Algorand Foundation holds the remaining ALGO tokens in secure wallets. The Foundation aims to enable an inclusive, borderless global economy through Algorand's blockchain technology.
1,757.26 million tokens are allocated to community and governance rewards, 1,176.05 million tokens are distributed to ecosystem support, and 363 million tokens are channeled towards foundation endowment. Seed and presale round investors could sell their ALGO token allocation back to the Algorand Foundation at 90 percent of the initial purchase price.
These tokens were then burnt by the team, effectively reducing the supply. This deflationary mechanic was intended to increase token scarcity and drive appreciation to Algorand's price. In June 2019, via a Dutch auction, Algorand raised over $60 million in the public sale of its native token ALGO. The company sold 25 million tokens in less than 4 hours.
About the founders
Algorand was founded by Silvio Micali, the co-inventor of probabilistic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable random functions, and other protocols that heavily contribute to modern cryptography. In 2017, Micali founded Algorand, overseeing all research, including theory, security, and crypto finance. He also received the Turing Award for computer science, the Gödel Prize for theoretical computer science, and the RSA prize in cryptography.
Since 1983, Micali has been a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the electrical engineering and computer science department. His research interests include cryptography, zero knowledge, pseudorandom generation, secure protocols, mechanism design, and blockchain.

When was cryptocurrency invented?
Thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, interest in decentralized finance boomed. Bitcoin offered a novel solution by being a secure digital asset on a decentralized network. Since then, many other tokens such as Algorand have been created as well.
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations for crypto assets aim to address their environmental impact (e.g., energy-intensive mining), promote transparency, and ensure ethical governance practices to align the crypto industry with broader sustainability and societal goals. These regulations encourage compliance with standards that mitigate risks and foster trust in digital assets.

Consensus Mechanism
The Algorand blockchain utilizes a consensus mechanism termed Pure Proof-of-Stake (PPoS). Consensus, in this context, describes the method by which blocks are selected and appended to the blockchain. Algorand employs a verifiable random function (VRF) to select leaders who propose blocks for each round. Upon block proposal, a pseudorandomly selected committee of voters is chosen to evaluate the proposal. If a supermajority of these votes are from honest participants, the block is certified. What makes this algorithm a Pure Proof of Stake is that users are chosen for committees based on the number of algos in their accounts. This system leverages random committee selection to maintain high performance and inclusivity within the network. The consensus process involves three stages: 1. Propose: A leader proposes a new block. 2. Soft Vote: A committee of voters assesses the proposed block. 3. Certify Vote: Another committee certifies the block if it meets the required honesty threshold.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
Algorand's consensus mechanism, Pure Proof-of-Stake (PPoS), relies on the participation of token holders (stakers) to ensure the network's security and integrity: 1. Participation Rewards: o Staking Rewards: Users who participate in the consensus protocol by staking their ALGO tokens earn rewards. These rewards are distributed periodically and are proportional to the amount of ALGO staked. This incentivizes users to hold and stake their tokens, contributing to network security and stability. o Node Participation Rewards: Validators, also known as participation nodes, are responsible for proposing and voting on blocks. These nodes receive additional rewards for their active role in maintaining the network. 2. Transaction Fees: o Flat Fee Model: Algorand employs a flat fee model for transactions, which ensures predictability and simplicity. The standard transaction fee on Algorand is very low (around 0.001 ALGO per transaction). These fees are paid by users to have their transactions processed and included in a block. o Fee Redistribution: Collected transaction fees are redistributed to participants in the network. This includes stakers and validators, further incentivizing their participation and ensuring continuous network operation. 3. Economic Security: o Token Locking: To participate in the consensus mechanism, users must lock up their ALGO tokens. This economic stake acts as a security deposit that can be slashed (forfeited) if the participant acts maliciously. The potential loss of staked tokens discourages dishonest behavior and helps maintain network integrity. Fees on the Algorand Blockchain 1. Transaction Fees: o Algorand uses a flat transaction fee model. The current standard fee is 0.001 ALGO per transaction. This fee is minimal compared to other blockchain networks, ensuring affordability and accessibility. 2. Smart Contract Execution Fees: o Fees for executing smart contracts on Algorand are also designed to be low. These fees are based on the computational resources required to execute the contract, ensuring that users are only charged for the actual resources they consume. 3. Asset Creation Fees: o Creating new assets (tokens) on the Algorand blockchain involves a small fee. This fee is necessary to prevent spam and ensure that only genuine assets are created and maintained on the network.

Key energy sources and methodologies
To determine the proportion of renewable energy usage, the locations of the nodes are to be determined using public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. If no information is available on the geographic distribution of the nodes, reference networks are used which are comparable in terms of their incentivization structure and consensus mechanism. This geo-information is merged with public information from the European Environment Agency (EEA) and thus determined.
Energy consumption sources and methodologies
For the calculation of energy consumptions, the so called “bottom-up” approach is being used. The nodes are considered to be the central factor for the energy consumption of the network. These assumptions are made on the basis of empirical findings through the use of public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. The main determinants for estimating the hardware used within the network are the requirements for operating the client software. The energy consumption of the hardware devices was measured in certified test laboratories. When calculating the energy consumption, we used - if available - the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) to determine all implementations of the asset of question in scope and we update the mappings regulary, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
