Algorand is a pure proof-of-stake blockchain platform designed for speed, security, and decentralization. It exposes REST APIs through two core daemons — Algod (the Algorand protocol daemon) for real-time node interaction including submitting transactions, querying account balances, retrieving blocks, and managing smart contracts; and the Indexer daemon for deep historical querying of accounts, assets, applications, transactions, and blocks from a PostgreSQL-backed store. A third daemon, KMD (Key Management Daemon), handles local key storage and signing. Public archival endpoints are freely available via third-party providers such as Nodely/AlgoNode, and the developer toolchain is anchored by AlgoKit with SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Go, and Java.
