Algorand Blockchain
 
Algorand is an open-source, decentralized blockchain network. Algorand Network is one of those «Ethereum killer» competitor networks. Algorand blockchain is a Proof of Stake (PoS) network secured with Byzantine consensus. Algo coin stake-holders can earn rewards like block producers.
 
Algorand defines itself as an institutional-grade blockchain. Algorand claims to solve blockchain's trilemma; scalability, security, and decentralization. ALGO is faster than the Ethereum network, but it is doubtful if Algo is more decentralized than Ethereum.
 
ALGO is the native coin of the Algorand blockchain network. ALGO coins are used to secure the network's operability and reward participants. ALGO, with its market cap exceeding $2 billion, is among the top 40 cryptocurrencies. ALGO holders can stake their coins and earn rewards.

Advantages of ALGO

Algorand is a promising network with claims to solve blockchain's trilemma. The network has a low level-level of adoption yet, but there has been no hack or failure in the network's history. The network has been working without any reset or downtime. Some other Ethereum-killer competitors have failed to sustain such a performance. For example, the Solana network has suffered outages more than once.
 
Algo stands out with institutional partners. Algo has many state-sponsored projects built on the network. The founder Silvio Micali is a scientist and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are different projects built on the network aiming to help the environment. Planets token from PlanetWatch and Carbon credit token from Carbon Credit startup is among the Dapps on the Algorand blockchain.

Disadvantages of ALGO

The biggest down about ALGO is the low level of adoption. The Algorand blockchain doesn't have a big number of active users and wallets on the network yet. The number of apps built on the Algorand blockchain network is limited too. It is very much likely to see an increase in adoption levels in the future.
