Abstract
We develop a formal model of Algorand stateless smart con- tracts (stateless ASC1). We exploit our model to prove fundamental properties of the Algorand blockchain, and to establish the security of some archetypal smart contracts. While doing this, we highlight various design patterns supported by Algorand. We perform experiments to vali- date the coherence of our formal model w.r.t. the actual implementation.
