Algorand is a blockchain protocol that leverages a unique pure proof-of-stake (PPoS) consensus mechanism to address the scalability challenges often faced by first and second-generation blockchains. The PPoS mechanism promotes decentralization by enabling all online nodes to participate in block validation while maintaining low computational and financial costs for setup. Additionally, it offers a sustainable solution, eliminating the need for forking.
The ALGO token serves several purposes within the Algorand network:
- Transaction Fees: ALGO is used to pay transaction fees on the Algorand network, which boasts lower costs compared to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
- Staking and Consensus Participation: Users can stake ALGO for the opportunity to be chosen as a block proposer or validator and to cast their votes in the consensus process.
- Passive Income Generation: By holding ALGO in a non-custodial wallet, users can effortlessly earn passive income whenever new blocks are generated on the blockchain.
