Staking Algorand with Ledger
Earn money while holding Algorand (ALGO)
Staking is the process of holding funds in a cryptocurrency wallet to support the operations of a blockchain network and, in return, holders are rewarded for their contribution.
Algorand (ALGO) aims to solve the three main challenges faced by blockchains today: security, scalability, and decentralization.
In Algorand’s consensus algorithm, called Pure Proof of Stake, the network ties its security to the honesty of the majority. Algorand makes any dishonesty impossible by a minority so any cheating by the majority would be foolish. As long as two-thirds of the majority are honest, the protocol is robust.
Rewards
You can earn passive income by participating in the Algorand network. All addresses that contain 1 ALGO or more will receive rewards. The current annual yield on Algorand is around 5 to 6%.
Rewards are claimed every time a transaction occurs to or from your account.
You could also do a transaction of 0 ALGO to yourself to claim your rewards.

How it worksWhat is Algorand?
Algorand is an open source blockchain designed by Turing Award winner and MIT professor Silvio Micali. It launched in June 2019. Algorand (ALGO) aims to achieve all three challenges of blockchains today: security, scalability, and decentralization.
In Algorand’s consensus algorithm, called Pure Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the network ties its security to the honesty of the majority. Algorand makes any dishonesty impossible by a minority so any cheating by the majority would be foolish.
The consensus mechanism ensures full participation, protection, and speed within a truly decentralized network. With blocks finalized in seconds, Algorand’s transaction throughput is on par with large payment and financial networks.
