Algorand

Details for working with Algorand environment chains.

Developer Tools

The recommended development tool for Algorand is Algokit.

Addresses

Because Wormhole works with many environments, the Wormhole address format is normalized.

For Algorand chains, this means a wormhole formatted address is the 58 character address decoded from base32 with its checksum removed.

e.g. M7UT7JWIVROIDGMQVJZUBQGBNNIIVOYRPC7JWMGQES4KYJIZHVCRZEGFRQ => 0x67e93fa6c8ac5c819990aa7340c0c16b508abb1178be9b30d024b8ac25193d45

Algorand also uses a uint64 for Asset and Application IDs. These are converted to a 32 bytes by first converting to a 8 byte big endian byte array, then padding with 24 bytes of 0s.

e.g. 123 => 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007b

Emitter

The emitter is the application address, normalized to the wormhole address format.

Consistency Levels

The options for consistencyLevel (i.e finality) are:

Level	Value
Finalized	0

This field is may be ignored since the chain provides instant finality.
