of Paris Blockchain Week Summit. Algorand is a blockchain that uses a pure proof-of-stake protocol, and the company was one of the main sponsors of the summit.
Micali started by explaining that the blockchain trilemma — which claims that no blockchain can be both secure, scalable and decentralized — is false. He affirmed that Algorand is actively working to solve this so-called trilemma byWith Ethereum set to transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake later this year, Algorand will stand in direct competition with Ethereum.
“Competition is always good. I believe in democratization and meritocracy. There is room to collaborate.”Micali and Hall also discussed the role of institutions and regulation. Micali stated that “Good regulations make for better markets” and asserted that large institutions are slowly understanding that cryptocurrency can be “a much more secure way to transact.”When asked about Algorand’s future, Micali said to expect more tech and increased scalability. He added that within the next year, “Speculation will disappear, and real-world use cases of the blockchain will start.
He also admitted to looking forward to the democratization of finance. To him, this means that not just the elite but the common person on the street has the same access to sophisticated financial tools at a fraction of the actual cost. He added that “We are getting sick and tired of the concentration of our wealth” and that he believes blockchain technology can level the playing field.
