Mapping out Algorand's ecosystem

Algorand is a public blockchain network that intends to provide a highly scalable platform for decentralized applications and financial solutions. The Algorand project was founded in 2017 by Silvio Micali, a Professor and computer scientist at MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. 

Past work accomplishments by Micali include being awarded the Turing Award and Gödel Prize for his contribution to the development of Zero-knowledge proofs in cryptography, which are used today in encryption and popular privacy-focused digital assets like Zcash.
