Algorand is a Layer 1 blockchain that uses a proprietary consensus mechanism called “Pure Proof of Stake”. Founded by MIT professor Silvio Micali in 2017, Algorand was one of the first blockchains that embraced environmental sustainability efforts. Since its carbon footprint is relatively small due to its energy-efficient proof of stake-based architecture, Algorand has achieved “carbon-negative” status since it offsets more than its carbon footprint through carbon credits.
Algorand gets high praise from us for being a blockchain that offsets more than its carbon footprint and we wish more blockchains will follow its lead. Its ecosystem, while smaller than other Layer 1 blockchains, is gaining more and more momentum by the day through the announcements of a partnership with FIFA and the revival of the Limewire brand. Based on Algorand’s fundamentals, it seems like it is poised to take a bigger slice of the market.
