Legal Team Intern - London, United Kingdom - Algorand Foundation

Description

• Our mission is to empower a dynamic, inclusive, and borderless global ecosystem at scale based on the Algorand blockchain technology._

The Algorand blockchain - designed by MIT professor and Turing Award-winning cryptographer Silvio Micali - is uniquely capable of delivering on the promise of a borderless global economy.

It achieves transaction throughputs at the speed of traditional finance, but with immediate finality, near zero transaction costs, and on a 24/7 basis.

Its carbon-neutral platform and unique pure proof-of-stake consensus mechanism solves for the "blockchain trilemma" by achieving both security and scalability on a decentralized protocol, and without a second of downtime since it went live in 2019.

The Algorand Foundation is dedicated to helping fulfill the global promise of the Algorand blockchain by taking responsibility for its sound monetary supply economics, decentralized governance, and healthy and prosperous open-source ecosystem.
