The digital economy never sleeps, but most of today’s financial systems and infrastructure still do.

🚫Legacy rails (SWIFT, ACH) = 1–3 day settlement

🚫Cross-border = long chain of intermediaries

🚫Each step = higher cost, less transparency, more risk

🚫Banking hours only → weekends/holidays = pause

🚫Working capital locked, counterparty risk up, treasury blind

The result:

❌ Slow

❌ Expensive

❌ Misaligned with a 24/7 economy

Algorand flips the script:

✅ High-performance

✅ Secure and final in <3s

✅ Built-in compliance

✅ Always on, always global

Algorand's architecture is built for the future of money.
