Leased Transactions: Securing Advanced Smart Contract Design

Certain smart contracts can benefit from defining a Lease parameter, which can provide security for exclusive transaction execution, mitigate fee variability, and enable long-running smart contracts. Learn when and how to use Leases in this article.

TEAL ALGO Oracle in Algorand Layer-1

In a blockchain, the ability to reference a price on-chain enables a seamless and trustless transaction environment, especially for automated transactions and smart contracts. Oracles are the entities in charge of broadcasting off-chain data such as market price to the blockchain, and serve as a source of truth that allows on-chain dApps to measure the value of assets referenced within a transaction. Rand Labs and Borderless Capital releases a Algorand Oracle that can be referenced in atomic transfers using TEAL stateful and stateless smart contracts.

Reach - The Easiest and Safest way to Build DApps

Blockchain development is hard. Existing tooling is complex, time-consuming to use and not robust against common programming oversights. Reach is fundamentally changing the way blockchain developers approach their craft, safely, efficiently and with formal proofs.

Introducing Sandbox 2.0

Algorand Sandbox 2.0 is focused on developers and now deploys a containerized private network with an indexer by default. All APIs are exposed to localhost; sending and searching for transaction has never been easier.
