Building the Borderless Economy
The Algorand.foundation is dedicated to fulfilling the global promise of blockchain technology by leveraging the Algorand protocol and open source software, which was initially designed by Silvio Micali and a team of leading scientists. With core beliefs in the establishment of an open, public and permissionless blockchain, the Algorand Foundation has a vision for an inclusive ecosystem that provides an opportunity for everyone to harness the potential of an equitable and truly borderless economy.
Core Technology
Algorand.foundation believe that a public, permissionless, pure proof-of-stake blockchain with an open source approach is fundamental to delivering on the vision of a borderless economy. The Algorand consensus mechanism is designed to promote open participation, security and performance within a network that is decentralized by design.
With consensus on a new block being reached as fast as the block can be propagated throughout the network, Algorand’s transaction throughput is on par with large payment and financial networks, all securely scalable to billions of users. And Algorand is also the first blockchain to provide immediate transaction finality without the fear of forks.

Protocol Development
Algorand.foundation releases new binaries (Algorand’s executable files) on an ongoing basis. These new binaries can contain any number of bug fixes or new features, but the key question is whether or not the consensus version changes. The consensus version can be thought of as the language that the nodes speak to each other. If the consensus version changes, then the language is changed.
Governance
The Algorand Public Blockchain seeks to have a constitution and long term governance structure designed with community involvement. More details on the constitutional assembly and governance policies/processes will be shared soon. At launch, governance of the network is assisted by the Algorand Foundation’s Economic and Technical Advisory Committees, with committee members selected by University & Non-Profit Program participants.

Who Are the Founders of Algorand?
Silvio Micali is a professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the founder of Algorand. He is a recipient of the Turing Award (in 2012) for his fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of secure two-party computation, electronic cash, cryptocurrencies and blockchain protocols. This makes him one of the foremost creators of crypto in the world.
How Is the Algorand Network Secured?
The Algorand.foundation blockchain is a permissionless pure proof-of-stake blockchain protocol. Unlike proof-of-work blockchains, where the root block must be validated by randomly-selected validators (using computing power), in the pure proof-of-stake approach all of the validators are known to one another and only have to agree on the next block in order to create a new block.
