The following is a very simple tutorial that uses the Python SDK and PureStake API service to interact with the Algorand network. Support for the PureStake API service was added to the Algorand Python SDK last year. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a simple Python program that sends an Algorand […]

We announced Moonbeam today, a smart contract platform that provides a scalable and accessible alternative to other developer platform options. Moonbeam aims to provide developers with the ability to port existing Ethereum DApps or to create new DApps using familiar Ethereum development tools. This will substantially decrease the barrier to entry for successful Ethereum DApps […]
As you might have seen, PureStake released a new Algorand explorer, GoalSeeker, earlier today (which, by the way, is Algorand’s six-month anniversary of MainNet launch). We’re very excited for this release, since it’s an opportunity to build the kind of block explorer that we’d want to use ourselves. At first glance, it might seem counter-intuitive […]

Blockchain scalability is one of the most frequently cited reasons that blockchain adoption isn’t happening faster. The truth is, most blockchain networks are slow when compared to traditional centralized technologies and networks like AWS or the Visa network. Ethereum, for example, can process transactions in the range of 15 transactions per second — and Bitcoin […]

It’s been a few months since we launched our Algorand API as a Service. In that time, we have gotten a lot of great feedback on what is working well and what still needs more work. One thing we have heard and observed ourselves is that certain operations time out and don’t return any data. […]
