You may know Algorand and Cardano are both proof of stake protocols

But how are they different?

Check out this new explainer video by our CTO that explains how Cardano & Algorand use similar technology to implement very different algorithms

Did you know that Cardano and Algorand are both proof of stake blockchains, but they use different consensus mechanisms? Cardano uses Nakamoto consensus while Algorand uses BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus

📢New open source smart contract released!

This time, this contract can help you learn how to mint & burn tokens using a Plutus contract

More information below ↓ Image As you know, tokens in Cardano can be minted.

Did you know they can also be burned?

The reason this isn't common is because most projects are NFTs where they want to:
1. Mint their collection
2. Lock the contract so nobody can ever mint/burn tokens again

📢New open source smart contract released!

We've fully open sourced a contract for an ❗upgradable❗ multi-signature contract

Part of our commitment to grow the ecosystem ❤

Learn more in this thread ↓ Image What are multi-signature "multisigs"?

Businesses often want to disallow money being spent unless multiple executives agree on a bank transfer

Multi-signature means you require multiple signatures from different people!

As you can imagine, this is popular in blockchain as well

What if you could use Cardano or Algorand with any programming language?

Ambitious goal, but our team's novel R&D is getting us closer every day

Thread on our novel verifiable computation R&D and the 1st part coming out Q1 2023

↓ First, let's talk about the problem with a lot of blockchains like Ethereum:

Expressive smart contracts supported directly in the blockchain. This makes Ethereum
1. Slow
2. Expensive
3. Hard to update

These can be improved by centralization, but that defeats the purpose

Are you actively buying NFTs?

Want to stay ahead of the latest trend?

Check out our video or Twitter thread about a totally new kind of NFT you should watch out for 👀 $ADA #cnft



Thread 1/8 Right now NFTs are mostly just JPEGs. Clearly people care about their JPEGs, but clearly there is also a huge demand for NFTs that are more than JPEGs with many projects trying to use the "metaverse" as an easy-to-understand way to provide this

Blockchains are a poor choice for solving p2p messaging, identity, and generalized computation. Urbit takes a completely different approach in its design which addresses these issues from the ground up.

Thread 👇
medium.com/dcspark/why-ur… Urbit provides the first sensible approach to decentralized messaging by throwing out the concept of a middleman storing or relaying your messages. Every message is p2p and fully encrypted end-to-end.
