How to buy Algorand

ALGO

Algorand is a decentralized financial network and cryptocurrency platform. Designed for low environmental impact, its pure proof-of-stake (PPoS) consensus mechanism enables high transaction speeds and instant settlement, without sacrificing security or decentralization. Algorand nodes reach consensus about what should appear in the blockchain through this PPoS consensus based on a staking system (instead of a Proof of Work mining system like Bitcoin’s) to verify new transactions and produce new crypto tokens. The ALGO cryptocurrency is used to participate in transaction processing and network governance. You can buy and sell ALGO for any major cryptocurrency, like BTC, ETH, and XRP or traditional currency such as Canadian Dollar, US Dollar, and Euro. Trading cryptocurrencies is like foreign exchange of traditional currencies – you trade ALGO for BTC the same way you trade CAD for USD. You can also trade ALGO to CAD based on the ALGO price.

Algorand, founded by Silvio Micali, is positioned as the greenest blockchain currently in the market. Micali’s commitment to sustainable technology forms the backbone of Algorand’s unique consensus mechanism, as its Pure Proof of Stake system is more efficient than Proof of Work blockchains like Bitcoin in terms of electricity consumption. Algorand is going further by offsetting its small carbon footprint in partnership with ClimateTrade.
