Algorand is a proof-of-stake blockchain and cryptocurrency.[2] Algorand's native cryptocurrency is called ALGO.

The SEC has filed several lawsuits[3][4][5][6] alleging ALGO is a security which is subject to regulation under U.S. securities laws, along with a few other crypto assets.

Algorand may also refer to the private corporation based in Boston,[7][8] as well as to the nonprofit Algorand Foundation Ltd., incorporated in Singapore.[9][10][11]
