What Algorand is and how it works
Algorand (ALGO) is a blockchain whose mainnet launched in June 2019, founded by Turing Award winner and MIT professor Silvio Micali, built for instant finality and low fees.
It uses pure proof of stake: each round selects a committee from holders with a verifiable random function, and blocks are final once confirmed, without forks.
ALGO supply and token economics
Total supply is fixed at 10 billion ALGO.
What usually moves the price
Institutional and government partnerships, on-chain apps and stablecoin usage, and changes to staking-reward policy.
These are commonly discussed factors, not a forecast; no single factor guarantees direction.
Where to buy ALGO
ALGO spot pairs are usually listed on large exchanges such as Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget and Gate, but pairs and availability depend on your region and account—check the official listing. Compare fees at the same volume, then check spread and slippage.
Key ALGO risks
The technology is well regarded, but ecosystem activity has long trailed major chains, making demand growth the main uncertainty.
Only use money you can afford to lose entirely, and size positions and liquidation prices before using leverage.
