milkALGO (MALGO) Price, Charts & Market Data

milkALGO (mALGO) serves several purposes within the Milkomeda A1 Rollup ecosystem:

• Transaction Fees and Gas: mALGO is used to pay transaction fees and gas fees within the Milkomeda A1 Rollup. This enables users to perform transactions and deploy smart contracts on the rollup.

• Interoperability: By wrapping ALGO into mALGO, users can leverage the EVM capabilities of the Milkomeda A1 Rollup. This allows for the deployment and interaction with Solidity-based smart contracts, which are native to the Ethereum ecosystem, on the Algorand blockchain.

• Bridging Assets: Users can bridge their ALGO from the Algorand mainnet to the Milkomeda A1 Rollup, receiving mALGO in return. This wrapped token can then be used within the Milkomeda A1 ecosystem, allowing for broader use cases and applications.

• Scalability and Rollup Operations: mALGO is integral to the operation of the Milkomeda A1 Rollup, facilitating scalability solutions such as rollups which help in processing large volumes of transactions efficiently without overburdening the underlying Algorand blockchain.

milkALGO (mALGO) is developed by the Milkomeda project team, led by the co-founders of dcSpark: Nicolas Arqueros, Sebastien Guillemot, and Robert Kornacki.

• Nicolas Arqueros: CEO of dcSpark, former CTO at EMURGO, and a board member of the Cardano Foundation. He has extensive experience in software engineering within the blockchain space.
• Sebastien Guillemot: CTO of dcSpark, former VP of Engineering at EMURGO, and an engineer at Microsoft. He developed the most widely used Cardano library, which is even used by Coinbase to support ADA.
• Robert Kornacki: CSO of dcSpark, former Head of Research at EMURGO, and a board member at the Ergo Foundation. He has been instrumental in developing the Ergo ecosystem, including its oracles, dApp frameworks, and stablecoin.

The team is also supported by other experienced members, including Melissa Simmons, COO of dcSpark, and Nicolas Di Prima, Lead Engineer. They focus on creating interoperability solutions and enhancing blockchain capabilities, aiming to bring EVM functionality to non-EVM blockchains such as Algorand, Cardano, and Solana​

Milkomeda employs a unique rollup protocol on Algorand which includes:

• Data Availability: Leveraging Algorand's transaction notes and group transactions to ensure data availability and batch processing.
• Merkelized Batch Proposal: Using merkle trees to manage batch data, ensuring efficient and secure processing even with data size limitations.
• Batch Validation and Sequencing: Ensuring transaction validity and maintaining the integrity of the rollup history through deterministic sequencing.
