With Ethereumset to transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake later this yr, Algorand will stand in direct competitors with Ethereum.

Nevertheless, because it’s not but recognized precisely which kind of proof-of-stake Ethereum will tackle, Micali welcomes the competitors.

“Competitors is all the time good. I consider in democratization and meritocracy. There’s room to collaborate.”
