Algorand Network [cheatsheet]

Algorand is a fast, secure, and scalable Layer 1 blockchain that uses a Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. It supports features like smart contracts and token creation directly on the base layer, without needing Layer 2 solutions. Algorand is designed for high throughput, low fees, and instant finality, making it ideal for decentralized applications and finance.

How to Use Algorand?

Algorand does not work natively with MetaMask, because MetaMask is built to support Ethereum-compatible blockchains (EVM), and Algorand is not EVM-compatible.

Algorand has its own official wallet, called Pera Wallet (previously known as the Algorand Wallet.) If you want to interact with the Algorand network via other wallets, check out the links below.
