Algorand protocol development and ecosystem growth are now under one roof.
Algorand Foundation ( @AlgoFoundation ) and Algorand Technologies have come to a strategic agreement to unify ecosystem operations.
This agreement creates a unified powerhouse for blockchain innovation here in the United States and positions Algorand as the chain that enables financial empowerment at scale.
It's Algorand's 7th birthday today.
Seven years of reliability, technical excellence, and real-world utility.
We were ready in 2019, and we're just as ready in 2026.
Here's to the next seven.
Quantum computers won't wait for the industry to catch up.
Algorand began preparing in 2022, and Falcon post-quantum signatures are already live on Mainnet.
Now we're going further: native Falcon-1024, hybrid accounts, and a clear path to broad quantum resilience by the end of 2027.
Built for the decades ahead.

We're launching the Global x402 Challenge, with a $100K USD + 500K ALGO prize pool for developers anywhere in the world.
x402 lets AI agents pay per API call with no keys, no billing, and no checkout, and Algorand is built to settle those payments instantly.

On this day 7 years ago, we produced block 0 on Algorand.
62 million blocks later, we're still running. No hitches, no downtime, not once.
Here's to the next 7.
The German Federal Foreign Office / @GermanyDiplo and @PoliSync piloted blockchain-based USDC aid payments to Damascus, Syria, through @HesabPay_, using Algorand as the settlement layer.
Results from the pilot:
• Up to 73% lower transaction costs
• Payments were 42x faster
• Greater transparency across the payment flow
A strong example of blockchain infrastructure improving humanitarian aid payments in complex environments.
Algorand CLOO @_JennieLevin recently sat down with @GlobalLegalPost to discuss her role and responsibilities at the @AlgoFoundation, and how Algorand navigates regulatory uncertainty.

The United Nations Development Programme / @UNDP has launched the Blockchain Advisory Group, a body of 26 organisations from across the blockchain ecosystem.
Algorand, through @AlgoFoundation, is proud to be a founding member alongside the Ethereum Foundation, Stellar Development Foundation, Cardano Foundation, and others.
The group will meet twice a year, each time with a different development theme.
Only 2 blockchains in the entire industry have earned an A-Grade on the Quantum Threat Tracker from @tectonicxyz.
Algorand is one of them.
We've been building for this since day one.
0 downtime since launch.
Billions of transactions processed.
Thousands of nodes running around the world.
Dozens of major protocol upgrades shipped, including P2P networking, dynamic block times, and post-quantum cryptography.
Reliability is everything.
A new report from @GoldmanSachs estimates AI agent activity will increase by 2,300% by 2030.
AI agents need fast, cheap, reliable settlement to operate at scale.
Algorand has it all: instant finality, high throughput, predictable low fees, zero downtime since launch.
.@VersaBank recently completed the world's first pilot of blockchain-based deposit receipts and chose Algorand as one of their trusted networks.
When banks need security, stability, and regulatory compliance, they know where to look: @Algorand.
