🧵 What is @AlgoFoundation? The blockchain built to scale without sacrificing decentralization Spoiler: it actually does, thanks to its Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS) model 👇

@AlgoFoundation If you’ve been around crypto for a while, you know the famous blockchain trilemma: Decentralization, security, scalability Hard to achieve all three… @AlgoFoundation set out to solve it and its technical approach is worth a closer look ⚙️

@AlgoFoundation 🧠 Who’s behind @AlgoFoundation? Created by Silvio Micali (Turing Award winner, MIT professor), founded in 2017 and launched mainnet in 2019 The protocol is driven by Algorand Inc., while the Algorand Foundation manages governance and ecosystem incentives 🤝

@AlgoFoundation ⚙️ Technical architecture @AlgoFoundation is a public, permissionless layer-1 blockchain with its own Algorand Virtual Machine (AVM) to run smart contracts in TEAL Expect blocks every ~2.8 seconds with instant finality 🔥

@AlgoFoundation 🧩 @AlgoFoundation’s main advantages: ✅ Instant finality, no forks ⚡ Fast and scalable (~3s blocks, up to 10K TPS) 🌍 Open participation via PPoS ♻️ Energy efficient, no heavy mining 💼 Native assets (ASAs) and contracts on L1

@AlgoFoundation 💰 The native token: $ALGO Used for: ✅ Transaction fees ✅ Consensus and on-chain governance ✅ Issuing ASA assets Total supply capped at 10B $ALGO

Real-world adoption: 💳 Payments: EURD, HesabPay enabling instant settlements 🏦 DeFi: Folks Finance with lending, liquid staking, and real on-chain markets 📦 Supply chain: Finboot for traceability and sustainability 🪪 Digital ID: secure credentialing and fund distribution 🌱 ESG: Ureca tokenizing verified carbon credits

@AlgoFoundation 👨‍💻 Built for devs A robust ecosystem with AlgoKit, SDKs (Python, JS/TS, Go, Java), and a curated stack for identity, indexing, and monitoring, so teams can move from idea to mainnet with zero friction
