"On-chain randomness is a highly sought-after feature for dApp developers. It enables use cases such as lotteries, fair selections, and more" - Rotem Hemo medium.com/algorand/inter…

"Life is about intelligent adaptation." - Silvio Micali with Lex Fridman youtu.be/zNdhgOk4-fE

"#Algorand State Proofs reduce the distance between blockchains, offering cross-chain bridges a safer alternative to vulnerable 3rd party validator networks." medium.com/algorand/cross…

"The Algorand CBDC solution is based on an open-source distributed ledger infrastructure, which strongly supports and facilitates the development of decentralized applications (DApps) on the #blockchain." info.algorand.com/cbdc-algorand-…

“May the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing be honored so long as making science and lovingly handing it down to future generations remain honored values” - Silvio Micali youtu.be/naNyQIIUTaE

“Leadership ought to be Lead, Ignite and Disappear. If you don’t disappear the system is going to die with you.” - Silvio Micali

"To scale the consensus, #Algorand uses a novel mechanism based on Verifiable Random Functions that allows users to privately check whether they are selected to participate in the #Byzantine agreement to agree on the next set of transactions" - Silvio Micali

"The flexibility of Algorand’s #blockchain and its broad array of functionalities allows us to design a novel wholesale CBDC model which can coexist with, and not necessarily replace, any legacy RTGS system as well" info.algorand.com/cbdc-algorand-…

"I look forward to deploying more and more privacy on the Algorand #blockchain, but I will not rush until people understand and are behind what we have right now." - Silvio Micali with Lex Fridman youtu.be/zNdhgOk4-fE

"State Proofs are lightweight, cryptographically provable, portable proofs of Algorand state that let dApps on other blockchains trustlessly verify #Algorand transactions" - Rotem Hemo medium.com/algorand/inter…

"Algorand grows the #blockchain in asynchronous rounds, similar to #Bitcoin." - Silvio Micali at algorandcom.cdn.prismic.io/algorandcom%2F…

"One notable property of Algorand is that its transaction history may fork only with very small probability (e.g. one in a trillion, that is, or even 10^18)" - Silvio Micali at algorandcom.cdn.prismic.io/algorandcom%2F…

"In #Bitcoin each block must satisfy a special property, that is, must “contain a solution of a crypto puzzle”, which makes block generation computationally intensive and forks both inevitable and not rare." - Silvio Micali

"I always thought of #blockchain as a theoretical promise until I came across Algorand" - StaciW_DC youtube.com/watch?v=wnOUjU…

"Algorand may be extended to 'detect and punish' malicious users, but this is not required to prevent forks or double spending." - Silvio Micali at algorandcom.cdn.prismic.io/algorandcom%2F…

"Algorand’s approach provides less technical complexity, greater security, and fewer exploitable points between the applications and the platform, solving some of the most difficult real-world challenges." info.algorand.com/cbdc-algorand-…

“Algorand’s smart contracts are non-traditional, efficient, secure, and are implemented both at layer 1 and at layer 2.” - Silvio Micali

"In Algorand’s BA protocol, users do not keep any private state except for their private keys, which allows #Algorand to replace participants immediately after they send a message. This mitigates targeted attacks on chosen participants after their identity is revealed."

"In #Bitcoin each block must satisfy a special property, that is, must “contain a solution of a crypto puzzle”, which makes block generation computationally intensive and forks both inevitable and not rare." - Silvio Micali
