Did you know that @silviomicali, the founder of #Algorand, is indirectly referenced multiple times in the #Bitcoin whitepaper? His foundational work is used throughout modern #Crypto, including Probabilistic Encryption, Verifiable Random Functions, and Zero-knowledge proofs
Post-quantum adoption keeps growing across the Algorand ecosystem. 🔐
Algorand's leading DeFi protocol, @FolksFinance, now supports native PQ accounts 👇
Quantum resilience takes more than just marketing.
It has to be researched, tested, verified, and earned. That takes years.
Algorand has been doing the work since 2022 and is on track for broad quantum resilience by 2027.
Folks Finance now supports @Algorand's post-quantum accounts!
We've collaborated with @PeraAlgoWallet to bring this to life, taking another step toward a more secure and quantum-resistant future.
@francescoswiss@united@jpmorgan@Chase@CharlesSchwab@Citi@Algorand's AC2 protocol solves these issues. The agent's identity is linked to the human's identity and the human stays in control of every action an agent takes. This provides a proper chain of custody as well as accountability.
algorand usdc supply: ~$71m a month ago, ~$117m today
market odds it hits $200m by july 2027: 51% last week, 68.5% now
~$83m to go. you buying the run or fading it?
@KayBlockchain These are the metrics we need to continue to see rise if Algorand ever wants to be taken seriously.
Perhaps CCTP requires a certain threshold of supply/usage.
Great to see more dApps in the Algorand ecosystem bringing post-quantum to users! 🔐
@haydotapp now lets users create a post-quantum Algorand account and sign transactions with Falcon-1024, all with just a passkey.
Awesome work by the team! 👏
Quantum resilience is more than adopting post-quantum cryptography today; it means being able to adapt as cryptographic standards evolve.
Our CPO, @wj_beaumont, explains how we're building crypto agility into Algorand's protocol to make that possible 👇

Nice to see it 'officially' live! 😎
@haydotapp Haystack router already supports all new Pact pool types (CP/Weighted and CL !)
Absolutely crushing it in routes.
TxnLab also moved most HAY/USDC liquidity to Pact yesterday.

The wait is over!⚡️
Today we are rolling out the first Concentrated Liquidity platform on @Algorand
Better yields. Better depth. Better trades. Better DeFi.

🧵 SWEDEN, THE E-KRONA, ALGORAND & HEDERA
Sweden is reopening the debate around a digital krona.
But there is an important piece of history worth revisiting: @Algorand and @hedera have already featured in research examining different architectures for a Swedish CBDC.
What happened, and what could come next?
On October 15, 2026, Sweden’s Riksbank submitted a communication to parliament’s Committee on Finance, urging preparations for a possible digital krona to be reconsidered.
The reasons go well beyond payment technology.
The Riksbank points to several developments:
• The planned digital euro
• The growing use of foreign-currency stablecoins
• Monetary sovereignty
• The resilience of national payment infrastructure
A digital krona could also support offline payments during power or telecom outages.
@Reuters highlighted another dimension: national security.
Sweden increasingly views payment infrastructure as part of its total-defence strategy.
The ability to make payments during cyberattacks, military threats or power outages is becoming a strategic concern.
This is not Sweden’s first attempt.
The Riksbank launched its e-krona pilot in 2019. The technical project was completed in 2023.
The tested solution was based on R3 Corda, with the Riksbank and approved participants operating nodes.
Algorand and Hedera were not part of that pilot.
Here is where the story gets interesting.
In June 2024, a research paper titled:
“Potential Climate Impact of Retail CBDC Models”
was published in the Sveriges Riksbank Working Paper Series.
Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology compared the potential energy consumption of different CBDC architectures.
Three conceptual models were examined:
• Highly centralized
• Semi-centralized
• Decentralized
In its July 2024 summary of the research, the @AlgoFoundation identified two blockchain networks representing different models:
@Algorand for the decentralized architecture.
@hedera for the semi-centralized architecture.
The distinction matters.
Algorand represented a model emphasizing distributed infrastructure and resilience.
Hedera represented a more limited-participant architecture, combining high throughput with low estimated electricity consumption.
The study examined architectural trade-offs. It was not a competition to select a blockchain for the e-krona.
Fast forward to October 2026.
The Riksbank is once again raising the possibility of a digital krona.
No new technical selection has been announced. The previous e-krona pilot remains completed.
But both Algorand and Hedera have a documented place in Sweden’s earlier CBDC architecture research.
That does not establish a partnership, a new test or a future role.
If Sweden evaluates technical architectures again, however, this earlier research provides an interesting reference point.
The question is not simply how to build a digital krona.
It is which infrastructure model can best balance resilience, control, efficiency and monetary sovereignty.
USDC on Algorand is breaking records!
2026 isn't even over yet, and we've already set a new annual record for USDC transactions since @circle brought it to Algorand.
And yes, you can now hold and transfer @USDC using native post-quantum accounts on Algorand 🔐
