Algorand blockchain protocol was launched in 2019 to address the blockchain trilemma and focuses on scalability.Algorand offers high performance, instant transaction finality, low gas fees, and high network throughput.It utilizes a Pure Proof of Stake consensus mechanism for faster and more efficient transactions.Algorand was created by Silvio Micali to improve speed, decentralization, and security in blockchain.Algorand can process almost 10,000 transactions per second with low costs, supporting DeFi and NFTs.The blockchain trilemma problem is tackled by Algorand, offering faster transactions at reduced costs.Algorand's security is enhanced with its unique consensus approach and decentralization principles.The ALGO token in Algorand ecosystem is used for gas fees, governance, staking, and project funding.Distinctive features of Algorand include its scalable consensus mechanism and decentralization principles.Limitations of Algorand include weak growth in DeFi ecosystem and lack of compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine.
