        features of the Algorand Node API as well as additional features only

        as the Algorand Participation Rewards Calculator. The Rewards Calculator
        is a tool that allows Algorand users to know how many participating
        rewards they will receive by staking or holding their Algos in a wallet.
        It provides a way for users to know how many Algos will their holdings
        generate every week, month, and year. The calculator uses the most up to
        date information released by the Algorand Foundation related to the rate
        of rewards allocated at any given time.

"The addition of the AlgoExplorer Developer API to AlgoExplorer is a wonderful infrastructure enhancement that will make developing on the Algorand blockchain even easier".
