Algorand was founded by Silvio Micali, a Turing Award (Nobel Prize of Computing) winner and is called the Godfather of Crypto because of fundamental early work on public-key cryptosystems, pseudorandom functions, digital signatures, oblivious transfer, secure multiparty computation, and is one of the co-inventors of zero-knowledge proofs.

ALGORAND
Silvio Micali’s pure Proof Of Stake solves the Blockchain Trilemma which says you can't have Decentralisation, Security, Scalability.

Decentralisation: The Algorand blockchain is entirely decentralised, which means there is no central authority or single point of control. A committee of users is randomly and secretly selected to approve every block and this committee is run by participants from different backgrounds across the globe.

Security: The Algorand blockchain is fault-tolerant with no special group of users for an attacker to target. Committee members are selected by a secretly run, cryptographically fair, individual lottery. An attacker would not be able to single out one committee member to corrupt.

Scalability: The Algorand blockchain is open source and available for anyone to audit, use and build upon. The platform is founded in principles of transparency, inclusivity, and collaboration and maintained by a dedicated community with a shared vision of a decentralised, borderless future.

Algorand's speed, security and low costs make it an ideal blockchain for financial instruments and superb for real estate tokenization.
