Algorand Foundation recently shared insights into a major technical evolution—the migration from a relay node infrastructure to a fully peer-to-peer network architecture. According to their latest roadmap update, this transition represents a fundamental shift toward true decentralization. The foundation emphasized that 'P2P architecture is the most decentralized option, and so we've implemented it.' This upgrade aligns with the broader industry trend toward reducing intermediaries and strengthening network resilience. By eliminating relay dependencies, the network can achieve faster consensus, improved security, and greater autonomy for individual validators. The move reflects Algorand's commitment to scaling while maintaining the decentralized principles that define blockchain technology.
