Abstract

Blockchains stand to revolutionize the way a modern society operates. They can secure all kinds of traditional transactions, such as payments, in the exact order in which the transactions occur; and enable totally new transactions, such as cryptocurrencies and smart contracts. They can remove intermediaries and usher in a new paradigm for trust. As previously implemented, however, blockchains scale poorly and cannot achieve their enormous potential.

Algorand is the first permissionless blockchain that is truly secure, scalable and decentralized. It works in a highly asynchronous environment, dispenses with “proof of work” and “miners” and requires only a negligible amount of computation. Its transaction history does not “fork” even during network partition, guaranteeing immediate finality of a transaction the moment the transaction enters the blockchain. In this talk, I will introduce Algorand’s core technology and some recent development.
