Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | ALGORAND: The Efficient and Democratic Ledger |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Micali's ledger design: a proof-of-stake protocol that elects a small, unpredictable committee to certify each block, and replaces participants so a corruptor cannot find them in time. |
| Who may write | Silvio Micali |
| What is settled | Cryptographic sortition lets a holder learn privately, from their own key and a public seed, whether they were selected. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Sortition only helps if the underlying stake and keys are what the paper assumes. |
| What this library says afterwards | The paper is not a description of later Algorand product features or relay networks. |
