Why $Algorand Matters – And Where It Struggles
Algorand is a fast, energy-efficient Layer-1 blockchain with a focus on institutional use and tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). Here’s a concise overview:
🔹 1. Pure Proof-of-Stake (PPoS)
✅ Pros: True decentralization, random validator selection (VRF), immediate finality.
❌ Cons: Few holders participate actively, setup required, more complex for new developers.
💬 Commentary: Strong and secure, but practical decentralization is limited.
⚡ 2. Performance
✅ Pros: Low fees (~0.001 ALGO), fast finality (~3–3.5s), energy-efficient.
❌ Cons: Real TPS lower than theoretical, few dApps to fully test throughput.
💬 Commentary: Great for daily financial transactions, but heavy usage not fully proven.
🏛️ 3. RWA & Sustainability
✅ Pros: Institutional focus, stable network, ESG-friendly.
❌ Cons: Slow institutional adoption, limited real-world use-cases.
💬 Commentary: Solid for institutional applications; growth depends on RWA adoption.
💰 4.
$ALGO Token
✅ Pros: Needed for fees, governance, and consensus.
❌ Cons: Small DeFi ecosystem, low developer interest.
💬 Commentary: Utility is real, but value depends on ecosystem growth.
🧠 Conclusion
Strong in institutional finance, weaker in Web3/DeFi. True potential hinges on RWA adoption and developer engagement.
