Algorand Virtual Machine available in the last protocol update



AVM supports the writing of smart contracts in Python and Reach, with applications in Web 3.0, DeFi and NFTs

Open-source, permissionless blockchain Algorand announced yesterday the release of its latest protocol upgrade to make blockchain application development more accessible to a wider developer community and to improve the functionality of smart contract development.

Algorand's goal is to advance the future of finance (FutureFi) through its focus on performance, interoperability, and functionality. The blockchain's pure proof of stake consensus mechanism means that blocks are finalized within seconds and transaction throughput is as high as that of large payment networks. Earlier this year, Algorand even went into a carbon-negative blockchain.

The latest protocol update enables developers to create fast, powerful and inexpensive decentralized applications (Dapps) through the Algorand Virtual Machine (AVM). Use cases include Web 3.0, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) thanks to improved features for developers.

AVM makes it easy to develop smart contracts in accessible languages ​​such as Python and Reach - a simple programming language that uses a subset of JavaScript. In addition, the project is working on opening up the coding in Clarity, C, C ++, Go, Rust, Haskell, JavaScript and more. In addition to Turing-complete languages, the AVM supports new opcodes, larger program scopes and enables developers to use loops, functions, and recursion.

Paul Riegle, Chief Product Officer at Algorand, explains: “ Developers who have already written and used smart contracts on Algorand have interacted with previous versions of the AVM by using Teal and given us feedback that enabled us to develop the AVM iterate and improve quickly. We are excited to see what this version opens up for the developer community and look forward to further improvements in the coming months . "

Ethereum contracts can be more easily ported to Algorand after the upgrade, which enables more precise applications. The AVM also offers new functionalities such as atomic transfers that enable the sharing of transaction fees, the maximization of blockchain storage in versatile ways and the creation of an automated market maker (AMM) on which others can build.

Last month saw the launch of the Algorand mainnet for the second time, and more than 500 global organizations have since joined the ecosystem. The AVM could offer the opportunity to involve many other organizations in the new digital economy.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has
