Algorand is a Blockchain invented by the Algorand foundation, as a means of making payments easier for the global financial system, through the use of improved technologies and algorithms. It is inclusive and open source, so as to give everybody the liberty to adopt the Blockchain and enjoy all its benefits.
Algorand is a permissionless distributed ledger, which is created to be fast, reliable, scalable, with a guarantee of security for every transaction executed on it. This permissionless Blockchain is open-source and allows any system to fully adopt it, and integrate it into their system, subsequently enhancing a better performance. So, Algorand is now being used in a lot of systems, and due to its improved structure and useability, the Algorand Blockchain has been used to create the first Central Bank Digital Currency.

Role of Algorand in the Creation of CBDC
The Algorand Blockchain is adopted in the creation of the CBDC by the Marshal Island, because of the level of development which it exhibits. Before now, incorporating an innovative financial tool as sophisticated as the CBDC into a nation's financial system, is very difficult, since every system is trying to get a hang on the digitalization going on in the world. But, the Algorand Blockchain makes it very easy for different nations to readily integrate with their system following its scalable design. The Blockchain algorithm will help countries maintain security of assets and ensure the degree of transactions carried out with the CBDC, because it is able to track transactions executed on it, and the details are available for viewing on the Blockchain. To fulfill the speedy transaction promised with the CBDC, the Algorand Blockchain with its fast system and high transaction throughput, is able to facilitate multiple CBDC transactions at a very fast pace, this way it will meet the demand of the global system.
