@MarcusFurrelius is launching his NEW COLLECTION "Little Stoic Army" on the 7th in @downbad_algo and is an official partner of Algofile! His entire collection is hosted on our services, and we are giving our full support to the project!!!

Come build the empire with us?
Today everyone’s getting it!
They removed me from the Senate Committee on Roads, Transport & Housing where I champion inclusive transport and mobility, sustainable cities, and accessibility in the built environment for the rights of over 8 million persons with disabilities as provided for in the PWD Act of 2025.
Everyday, I come to this house diligently to do my job, to execute the business of those I was brought here to represent, and I do it well even with a disability.
If this is punishment by the leadership - so be it, but one thing that people ought to know is that God has a knack for turning a bad situation into a glorious occasion! 😉 #VIP
This needs to be known
$Finite is on a rampage to destroy the Algo charts and be a staple in algorand ASA scene. It’s been happening so slowly you didn’t even notice.
AI agents 🤝🤖
We're building the infra that lets AI agents securely spend, transfer, and settle payments across African payment rails using both fiat and stablecoins.
If you're building AI agents, autonomous commerce, or agentic workflows, our DMs are open.
On behalf of The Goanna Council
We'll begin winding up @RandGallery over the coming weeks.
Most importantly: all NFTs are SAFU. Before we wind down, we'll ensure every NFT is returned to its rightful owner.
When we stepped in to keep Rand alive and place it into community ownership, the hope was that the community would rally and bring the renewed energy needed to keep the platform viable. The reality, as with many DAO style systems, is that most people stay passive and the whole thing leans on a small group. A handful of dedicated holders genuinely tried to drive it forward, but without meaningful traction, Rand never got the push it deserved.
Since the relaunch, the platform has been plagued with bugs and we've lacked the systems to properly resolve them. Given the broader state of Algo NFTs, even capturing 100% of the current market wouldn't be enough to break even. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze.
As part of the acquisition of Rand, the Goanna community also received the XRP marketplace. This was successfully sold shortly after the transfer completed. The proceeds of the sale have largely covered the running and maintenance costs over the past year meaning the community treasury hasnt been significantly impacted by attempts to keep the marketplace operational.
In Downbad and Stein, the community already has a motivated founder and a solid, comprehensive platform. It makes the most sense for activity to concentrate there. With Dartroom also relaunching this week, its great to see the Algorand NFT ecosystem in good hands.
We suggest where possible users begin de-listing their NFTs. Anything not delisted over the next few weeks will be sent back to the wallet that listed it. If you've lost access to that wallet, we're unable to help. Self sovereign ownership means your keys, your responsibility.
On the calls to open source the code: the honest answer is the codebase is a mess, a stack of legacy systems layered on top of one another, with little real value. With limited dev resources, scrubbing it of sensitive data before release isn't worth the time it would take.
We did consider an xGov grant, but with no viable path to profitability that would just mean taking funds better used elsewhere to kick the can down the road.
The dream was for the community to own the marketplace and share in the profits. Unfortunately that dream was never realised.
Since '21, Rand has been a cornerstone of the Algorand NFT ecosystem, and it's sad to see it fade out this way. A huge thanks to everyone who's been part of its history. Having Rand on Algorand made the chain a better place.
We're tired of watching good projects stall for lack of funding.
Heading into mainnet Aug 1, we've committed 100,000 ALGO to back early Algorand builders.
Come build with us #Algorand.
Following the amazing reaction to the Marble Curriculum yesterday, we've decided to make it open source 🛰️👇
Everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts. 3,221 connections across 8 subjects, from Math and Science to Computing and Life Skills. Anchored in the US and UK curriculums, standard by standard (NGSS, Common Core, DfE).
What you will find in the repo: every concept as structured JSON with its age band and the evidence a child must show to master it. Every prerequisite link marked hard or soft, with a written rationale. It's a true DAG you can compute learning paths on. Open license, you can build whatever you want with it.
Now is a unique time in history to be building in education. Getting AI and kids education right is likely one of the hardest and most important problems to crack over the next decade and we need as many smart and creative minds behind it.
We think a common solid basis, accessible to all and that can be built upon, is critical to move fast. That's why we're making this curriculum open source.
It's not perfect but we know it's a robust basis, and we believe that sharing it openly is the fastest way to progress in this field. If you're building in education, share this around you and tell us in comments if you find this useful and if you want to contribute.
We'll keep working and investing on it @withmarbleapp. Credit goes to @guillaume_boni for building this. I just made it look pretty.
