Algorand was invented to speed up transactions and improve efficiency, in response to the slow transaction times of Bitcoin and other blockchains. This is designed so that there are lower transaction fees, as well as no mining (like Bitcoin’s energy-intensive process), as it is based on a permission less pure proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain protocol.

Algorand’s Compatibility with Ethereum

Having a bridge to Ethereum, which currently has the most robust DApp ecosystem, would allow The to connect to these applications and attract more liquidity. In the long-term, the Foundation aims to have verification of other chains be performed on The smart contracts, by incorporating state proofs in the form of Compact Certificates into the Consensus. The foundation’s goal is to eventually solidify the DeFi ecosystem on Algorand.
