ALGO token price is under tremendous selling pressure as it approaches the $1.5 support zone. The price may shortly break below this zone.

Algorand is a pure proof-of-stake blockchain protocol that is permissionless. Contrary to proof-of-work (PoW), where the root block must first be validated using computing power, the Algorand blockchain uses a pure proof-of-stake approach. All validators are only required to agree on the subsequent blocks to create a new one.

Algorand's blockchain was created when 10 billion ALGO were minted. As a result, the distribution of the immutable and fixed 10 billion ALGO tokens will cease in 2030 rather than 2024 as initially planned.
