Interoperability, Speed, and On Chain Randomness

Interoperability, Speed, and On Chain RandomnessToday, I am thrilled to announce the latest release of the Algorand protocol — Algorand 3.9. State ProofsState Proofs are lightweight, cryptographically provable, portable proofs of Algorand state that let dApps on other blockchains trustlessly verify Algorand transactions. State Proofs make it easier to develop cross-chain products such as direct bridges, and reduce the needed trust in existing bridging networks. State Proofs also make it safer to use these cross-chain services. AVM 7 provides the ability to create randomness oracles that will enable every smart contract to get fresh randomness from a secure source when needed.
