I've heard some pushback here and there about why this is a big deal, putting us in the same category as Vyper for Ethereum or SmartPy for Tezos.
Let's make this very clear. Algorand's native support for Python stands alone, and doesn't fit into that category. Our release with…

I love this project. This also illustrates the importance of quantum securing the chain. Because the Algorand chain is quantum secure, no historical fact recorded on the blockchain can be messed with, not even by future quantum computers. Whether you're a historian, or a…
Maybe we can inspire the

Thanks for engaging with the Algorand community on this important topic. A few thoughts:
1/ Your current reporting does not count smart contract transactions. The real Algorand TPS over the last 24 hours is around 55, which is roughly twice the number you list. See…
Wow. Entrepreneurs, businesses, corporations, institutions looking to integrate decentralized computing into their business model or operations should carefully study this data. Not all blockchains are the same!

Let’s take the example of transactions.
First, it’s clear that Algorand’s transactions are severely undercounted across most analytics platforms.
How is that possible?
Algorand is unique in making a distinction between user-originated transactions and smart contract-originated…

Here’s another example. As has been widely reported, some networks are suffering from very high transaction failure rates, with up to 75% of transactions failing.
Because these failed transactions are hitting the network they are counted in transaction reporting.

From top to bottom Algorand has everything you need, but my biggest reason is the people. The community is responsive and supportive. The vibe is lets build and everyone seems authentically dedicated.
Bottom line: 2 equally useful transactions on a high-failure-rate network and Algorand are reported as 8 transactions on the high-failure-rate network (assuming 75% failure rate) and 1 transaction on Algorand (assuming 50/50 split between user-originated transactions and smart…

Energy security has become a big issue lately. How do we ensure that, as the world transitions to EV, we are not becoming overly reliant on nations that do not share our values. Chinese firms control 70% of cobalt, 60% of nickel and produce the majority of anodes and cathodes.
