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
Signal is a great messenger with strong E2E encryption - pure respect.
What about the registration? Requiring a phone number ties users directly to their identity.
Sealed goes further: identity based on cryptographic keys, zero phone number.
Privacy starts with identity. 🔐
$algo was $2 when there was practically no ecosystem or regulation clarity from the SEC.
Now it’s a whole new animal with AlgoKit, accessibility to staking/running nodes, SEC said it is a digital commodity..
It is primed to explode.. these few cents of fluctuation are nothing

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.
Algorand CEO @StaciW_DC recently spoke at the @CFR_org in New York.
She discussed several topics, ranging from blockchain technology to TradFi, global economics, and beyond.
Watch the full talk below.
Crypto users can track price, TVL, fees, volume, and liquidity.
They still cannot easily see whether the projects they use have a credible plan against quantum threats.
Tectonic Labs is launching Quantum Tracker, a public quantum-readiness index for Web3.
The EU recently confirmed that by 2027, every battery, textile, and electronic device sold in Europe will need a verifiable Digital Product Passport.
The infrastructure to support this at scale already exists on Algorand.
Companies like Repsol, Thai Union, Estée Lauder, and Lavazza are using it today.
A thread on who's building it 🧵
The diversity of RWAs on Algorand is just INSANE! 🔥
And that's definitely no coincidence.
$ALGO has everything RWAs need: reliability, security, native assets, native atomic swaps, granular asset controls, low/predictable fees, and instant finality! ✅
Algorand’s value proposition is often reduced to speed.
But the more important point may be cost efficiency at scale.
In blockchain infrastructure, transaction fees can look irrelevant when usage is low.
They become decisive when networks are expected to support millions of transactions across payments, AI agents, gaming, consumer applications and financial infrastructure.
That is where Algorand’s design begins to matter.
According to the data shown by the @AlgoFoundation, one million transactions on Algorand cost an estimated $190.
That places Algorand among the cheapest major blockchains by average transaction fees.
The implication is simple.
If blockchain adoption moves from speculation to real usage, cost becomes part of the product.
A network cannot support high-volume applications if every transaction introduces uncertainty, friction or excessive fees.
For developers and enterprises, low transaction costs are not only a user benefit.
They are an operational requirement.
Payments, consumer apps and automated systems need infrastructure that can process large volumes without turning fees into a bottleneck.
This is also why the discussion around blockchain performance should not only focus on theoretical throughput.
Throughput matters.
But throughput without predictable cost, fast finality and reliability is incomplete.
Algorand’s argument is that infrastructure should be efficient, predictable and ready for real usage.
That may not always create the loudest market narrative.
But it is exactly the type of foundation that becomes more important as adoption scales.
Markets often price attention first.
Infrastructure is usually priced later.
Algorand’s opportunity lies in that gap.
If the next phase of crypto is defined by payments, AI agents, tokenized assets and high-volume applications, then cost efficiency will no longer be a small detail.
It will be one of the main selection criteria.
And on that measure, @Algorand remains one of the most serious networks in the sector.
1M transactions.
On Algorand: ~$190
As usage scales, transaction costs start to matter fast.
For AI agents, payments, gaming, and high-volume consumer apps, infrastructure efficiency can become a real differentiator.

When you look at what it takes to run a node on SUI, there is no other way that the network could survive without VCs.
I've been in Algorand since 2021 because it actually lives up to the ideals set out in the Bitcoin whitepaper.
I've been running a node for years now and actively participate in the network. This will never be possible on SUI, it is completely captured by big money and is not decentralized.
No point in being here if the average person cannot participate.
@matteodotsui@AlgoFamily@MarcoSalzmann80 Nope, they're in SUI and actively manipulate price to dump on retail. A tale as old as time.
Algorand is completely rid of VC's and is already 91% in circulation.
Walking is an underrated form of therapy. You get sun on your skin. You activate your frontal lobe responsible for processing emotions. You release endorphins and relieve stress. Take a 20 minute walk outside and I guarantee you'll see the world different.
