Decentralized, programmable networks are here to stay, and the developer experience has never been better (hello: Python!). Join this talk to learn first principles of building applications and get inspiration for creating your next great "dapp." Learn: *Key features of programmable blockchains *How to think about developing applications in decentralized systems *Practical steps for setting up your dev environment and beginning building *Key things to keep in mind when building in decentralized systems
Algorand2_41Algorand is an energy-efficient, quantum-secure, layer-1 blockchain with instant finality, consistently high throughput, and low fees. Founded by Turing Award-winning cryptographer Silvio Micali in 2019, Algorand has grown into a vibrant ecosystem of developers, entrepreneurs, and enterprise partners that benefit from institutional-grade certainty and resilience, while features like low fees, instant finality, and a minimal carbon footprint also appeal to the protocol's millions of retail users. Builders of all kinds can use common programming languages like Python to develop advanced apps and protocols that solve important problems at a global scale: instant payments in war and disaster zones, self-sovereign identity for the disenfranchised, supply-chain traceability for global commerce, permissionless protocols addressing financial inclusion, and the creation of entirely new markets through tokenization, to name a few. The Algorand Foundation supports Algorand's rapidly growing ecosystem by providing a best-in-class developer environment, supporting key infrastructure and setting technical standards, offering comprehensive support to builders and entrepreneurs, and providing the infrastructure for decentralized governance.
