Why it matters
Algorand was founded by cryptographer Silvio Micali around a pure proof-of-stake consensus that finalizes blocks quickly and does not fork under normal conditions. Its positioning leans institutional and governmental, with a track record of central bank and public-sector pilots, though consumer and DeFi activity has stayed modest relative to larger ecosystems.
