How it works: 👇
Like every day until Christmas, I'm sharing a reason to be bullish on #Algorand in 2025.
I'm also giving away 20 $ALGO daily to a random person who likes, follows me, and RT! 🎁🎅
Day 2⃣0⃣: Algorand is seeing huge adoption in Italy, with big things ahead in 2025!
Algorand has always been closely connected to Italy, thanks to the massive influence in the country of its founder, Silvio Micali.
Italy, which is the 3rd largest economy in the Eurozone (after Germany and France) and the 8th largest economy in the world, is definitely one of the countries where Algorand is experiencing the most adoption! 🇮🇹
It's one of the most used blockchains by Italian startups, almost as much as #Ethereum! 🔥
We can even say that, in a certain way, #Algorand is physically present in Italy, as a private company based in Rome (~15 employees), Algorand Labs, in which Silvio Micali is involved, was launched in 2020!
They even did a rebranding along with an update of their website just a few months ago! 👀
The goal of Algorand Labs is simple: to offer institutions (in Italy but also in Europe) the best blockchain technology and the confidence to lead the transformation of the country and financial markets by developing solutions on $ALGO.
They even have great connections with the country's largest institutions!
Proof of this was their collaboration and involvement in a HUGE experiment with the @bancaditalia, which attempted to integrate #Algorand with the Target Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) in order to find a viable way to develop a DvP (Delivery versus Payment) system to increase the use of cash on-chain and promote the exchange of securities over DLT systems.
They're also selected in 2022 by the FinTech Milano Hub to develop an infrastructure with the Bank of Italy to issue and trade BTP Retail bonds on #Algorand, usable both in Italy and abroad! 🤯
But apart from Algorand Labs, many other projects in Italy use Algorand, including some companies that you are probably very familiar with!
I'm specifically thinking of @lavazzagroup, one of the most renowned and oldest coffee brands in the world, which uses $ALGO for its supply chain of the La Reserva De ¡Tierra! Cuba coffee range (currently available for sale worldwide!), considered by their CEO as the biggest project of the Lavazza Foundation since its creation in 2004! ☕️
👉 Over 112 tons of coffee are already fully traceable on Algorand, representing 112,000 packs of coffee (1kg)!
We're not talking about just a certified coffee, but a fully traceable coffee through blockchain.
From the field to the cup.
Consumers can easily scan a QR code on the packages and access complete, reliable, real-time information about the entire supply chain (including air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed/direction, soil moisture, etc...), all time-stamped in an immutable and transparent way on #Algorand! 🔥
This is insane, and when you consider Lavazza's commitment to sustainability and its many social or environmental initiatives, I think we're at the beginning of something big. Very big.
For the fact, another coffee brand, @CafeBarbera1870, the oldest Italian coffee roasting company with over 150 years of history, based in Naples, also uses $ALGO for the traceability of its supply chain!
In another field, the Italian Society of Authors and Publishers (@SIAE_Official), the oldest and largest copyright collecting agency in Italy, founded in 1882, has minted over 4 million NFTs on Algorand to secure copyrights for more than 95,000 creators! 🤯
One of the Italian projects I find the most impressive is probably @EZLab_solutions, which uses $ALGO to create digital product passports for supply chains.
You definitely have no idea how many brands in Italy are collaborating with them across EVERY sector, whether it's fashion (such as Carrera, Peron, MonnaLisa), design (Mezzaluna, Tonin Casa), beauty (Gabor), or agrifood (Alce Nero, Foglie d’Oro, Placido Volpone, Rodolfi), etc....
We're talking about thousands (or maybe even millions?) of products whose authenticity and origin are guaranteed to consumers on #Algorand!
If you're interested in learning more, I highly recommend following @Mere289, who does an incredible job cataloging all the use cases of $ALGO in Italy (and trust me the list is extremely long)! 🫡
Personally, the thing that excites me the most about 2025 in Italy is this:
👉 In December 2022, #Algorand was officially chosen by @bancaditalia as the exclusive public blockchain for Italy's "Digital Sureties" platform, developed by
@CeTIF1, to digitize and secure the issuance of bank and insurance guarantees using blockchain technology.
This was a huge announcement, marking the very first time an EU member state committed to using blockchain technology for such a purpose!
After more than a year of delay due to a new regulatory change introduced by the Italian Government, the platform was launched last September! 🔥
CeTif's CEO even confirmed to me that #Algorand is still the only public blockchain powering the platform!
For those who may not be familiar: bank and insurance guarantees (also known as surety bonds) are promises made by institutions (banks, insurance companies..) to protect a person or business against the risk of a contract not being fulfilled.
We're talking about a multi-billion $ market, involving industries like construction, finance, and more... 💸
Today, most of these guarantees are issued as paper documents or simply as JPG/PDF files, but that's about to change thanks to DLT/blockchain!
Italy is leading the way in Europe by pushing hard to digitize surety bonds on blockchain, to drastically improve efficiency and transparency while reducing fraud and other risks.
A game-changing point is that in the summer of 2024, the National Anti-Corruption Authority of Italy released an important statement saying that starting January 2025, a new regulation will require the use of a distributed ledger system (blockchain) for the issuance and management of surety bonds in Italy! 🇮🇹
And here's something to blow your mind: the Digital Sureties platform by @CeTIF1, exclusively using #Algorand as its public blockchain, is the only system fully compliant with these new requirements, giving it a huge advantage over any potential competitors!
THIS IS MASSIVE for $ALGO! 🤯
Just think about it: #Algorand is about to become a key infrastructure in Italy, fully supported by the Italian government.
What's even more interesting? A 10% reduction in guarantees will be granted to Italian companies using the Digital Sureties platform!
What better way to encourage a quick transition from "traditional sureties" (paper docs, JPG/PDF, etc.) to "digital sureties" using DLT/blockchain? 🤌
This will create a strong incentive for businesses (especially those participating in public tenders), to adopt this solution quickly.
We're talking about huge savings for companies!
So for all these reasons, I'm really excited to see what will happen in 2025 in Italy, and something tells me it's going to be an amazing year for the adoption of #Algorand!

Day 1⃣8⃣: Algorand is being massively adopted across an entire country (and soon others!)
Let me talk about probably one of the #web3 projects that makes the least noise on CT, yet has real-world impact at scale and has seen massive growth in 2024, which is set to accelerate even further in 2025! 🔥
👉 @HesabPay_, 100% powered by #Algorand, is today the number 1 mobile app in Afghanistan (42M+ inhabitants) for digital payments! 🇦🇫
We're talking about millions of users who use it in their everyday lives to make payments (purchases, bill payments…) or to access a wide range of financial services.
It's the go-to app! 📱
To give you a concrete example of its current adoption: today, 30% of ALL electricity bills in Afghanistan are paid monthly via HesabPay, on Algorand.
Yes, 30% of an entire country's energy bills! 🤯
All on $ALGO.
In total, that's over $40M in on-chain volume flowing through $ALGO, equivalent to nearly half a billion dollars per year! And this is just the beginning! 📈
Using @HesabPay_ is a massive game changer for millions of people, especially in countries like Afghanistan, where over 90% of the population (as of 2021) is unbanked, yet most of them own a smartphone!
➡️ The need for fast, cheap, secure, and transparent payments is real.
Blockchain is a huge opportunity for them, giving them more autonomy and access to services they've always been excluded from, due to being outside traditional banking systems.
It's worth noting that there's NO friction for users, as the blockchain and its complexity are completely invisible! ✅
Everything is handled by @HesabPay_ to make the user experience as smooth and simple as possible.
One of the most incredible use cases for HesabPay is delivering humanitarian aid payments, an initiative supported by the @UN!
Thanks to HesabPay, anyone can easily open a digital account linked to their phone in just a few minutes, no need to visit a bank or deal with complicated processes.
With their phone, users can now send or receive Afghanistan's digital currency (via $HAFN, a stablecoin launched by HesabPay) with any other account holder!
What's even more incredible is that even people without a phone can still make transactions, such as withdrawing cash at partner stores, thanks to QR code cards! 🙏
This is definitely a game changer for giving people more autonomy and dignity.
The growth of HesabPay is absolutely massive, and I truly believe no one is ready for what's coming next in terms of adoption and on-chain activity on #Algorand.
IMO, I've always believed crypto adoption would start in developing countries, where blockchain provides immediate solutions and solves real problems that millions of people face, issues that many of us may never have to deal with.
And that's exactly what's happening now.
2025 is going to be huge, no doubt about it! 🔥
Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, and Somalia are likely the next countries where @HesabPay_ will expand.
This is absolutely massive for the entire #web3 adoption, and I highly recommend you #DYOR on this incredible project!

Day 1⃣7⃣: Algorand's tokenomics are now ultra bullish!
IMO, anyone discovering $ALGO today and looking to invest couldn't find a better time!
Tokenomics on #Algorand are now excellent, definitely much better than in 2021 when the situation was very different.
✅ 83% of the supply is now in circulation!
For comparison, during the last bull run in 2021, we were barely at 50%.
It's also important to note that Algorand has a capped max supply, unlike many other cryptos!
There will never be more than 10 billion tokens. Never.
✅ All $ALGO will be in circulation by 2030, meaning a very low annual inflation rate of just 2.7%! No more dilution to come.
✅ $ALGO is actually RARE!
A lot of people are still sleeping on it, and I highly recommend checking out the great posts by @EldarDRM on this topic.
Actually, the smallest divisible unit on #Algorand is 1e6 (1M per $ALGO), and when considering its true finite supply, the actual supply of $ALGO is quite limited, almost as much as that of $BTC! 💎
✅ No more token unlocks to worry about!
ALL tokens from early investors/backers, such as VCs, have been fully released for a long time now (and likely already sold!).
The accelerated vesting program ended in early 2022.
✅ Demand for ALGO is only increasing!
Since the crypto market is still immature, we often forget that, before being a speculative tool, the main purpose of a blockchain token is to be utilitarian, as it primarily enables on-chain transactions.
That's why it's important for blockchains to gain adoption and have real-world use cases built on them, where businesses use the token to run operations, creating organic buying demand and better price action! 💯
If the blockchain has real use cases, there will always be on-chain activity and buying pressure for the token, no matter the market conditions (bull run or bear market)!
But without real use cases, there's definitely no reason for the price to rise, especially in a bear market with low demand and high selling pressure.
It's just a simple matter of supply and demand.
With #Algorand, real-world adoption keeps growing, creating always more and more demand for the token (with limited supply!) 📈
Not to mention that mechanisms like opt-ins, the minimum balance required (MBR), and soon staking rewards add real utility to the token and help reduce available supply for trading! 🔥
So, here's the bad news and good news:
Bad news: There won't be enough $ALGO for everyone if you're trying to accumulate a comfortable amount…
Good news: There's never been a better time to buy one if you're looking to invest! ✅
As always, #DYOR and #NFA!

Day 1⃣6⃣: It will be easier than ever to build on Algorand in 2025!
In 2025, #Algorand will natively support both #Python (already available) and #TypeScript for writing and deploying smart contracts.
Let's be clear: this is a game changer in #web3!
No blockchain today offers an easier entry for millions of web2 developers than $ALGO.
Just think about it: every company across the world has developers proficient in Python or TypeScript (which is simply a superset of @JavaScript, meaning any valid JS code is also valid in TypeScript).
In fact, any company (regardless of its size), institutions, governments, organizations, or startups can easily leverage the many benefits of blockchain and decentralized public ledgers, such as transparency, traceability, task automation, security, low operational costs, immutability, and more!
Not necessarily to create a project from scratch, but simply to integrate blockchain components into their existing business where it makes sense.
And we're not talking about doing this on just any random blockchain, no! but on #Algorand, one of the most efficient/reliable blockchains on the market.
✅ Scalable (+15,000 TPS)
✅ Low and fixed transaction fees
✅ Instant transaction finality (= no forks!)
✅ Decentralized (+2,100 nodes right now)
✅ 1/3 path to full quantum resistance
While most chains in #web3 are fighting to attract web3 devs (ngl this is an ultra-competitive market), Algorand is playing the card of inclusivity and focusing on welcoming web2 developers, and you can be sure this will undoubtedly be a winning strategy in the long run!
Fit for purpose technology + easy development = winning combo.
Trust me, you're not bullish enough on $ALGO!

Day 1⃣4⃣: Algorand enters 2025 as one of the easiest blockchains for participating in the consensus!
One thing that always fascinates people when they start exploring how #Algorand works is the elegance of its protocol.
The Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS) used by $ALGO is a pure marvel!
Today, many blockchains use PoS, often for energy consumption reasons, but PoS - in its raw form - is probably one of the worst things that has happened to decentralization.
PoS/dPoS often leads to centralization issues, with power concentrated in the hands of a few players, where the majority of users have absolutely no chance of influencing the consensus, and where true decentralization is sidelined in favor of delegation, thereby disempowering users at the individual level within the network!
By creating Algorand, @silviomicali wanted to create a network where anyone, even with limited resources, could individually participate in consensus and contribute to its security.
Silvio wasn't interested in semi-decentralization.
Silvio wanted pure decentralization.
That's exactly why he developed Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS), $ALGO's consensus mechanism, which is the only way to achieve true decentralization!
You have a standard machine? You can join! ✅
You only have a limited stake? You can join! ✅
Thanks to the VRF technology (Verifiable Random Function), also invented by Silvio Micali, each new block proposer and all validator committees on Algorand are selected completely randomly, without communication with users and in a deterministic way!
When participating in consensus, each $ALGO you own is like a kind of lottery ticket... Everyone has the same chances!
Sometimes, you can even see validators proposing blocks with less than 1 ALGO! (0.1A is the minimum stake)
For the fact, that's why the name "Algorand" (Algorithmic Randomness).
In addition, it makes attacking the network by malicious actors difficult because, unlike PoS, it's impossible to know who to target in advance!
So yes, PPoS is a true marvel of decentralization, and with the introduction of staking rewards and the P2P gossip network (see days 2 and 3 for more information), Algorand will become the most decentralized blockchain EVER! 🔥

Day 1⃣3⃣: You're definitely still not bullish enough on the Algorand ecosystem!
Let's be clear: We have so many great projects on $ALGO!
There are thousands of amazing builders who spend a lot of energy, time, and resources creating dApps and use cases on #Algorand!
How can you not be bullish on them? 🔥
Tbh, it's super hard to highlight all these projects, there are just too many, including some that definitely deserve to be highlighted more!
But here's a list of 100 projects on $ALGO to explore and get started with, along with a brief description for each.
I hope this could interest some newcomers to #Algorand or anyone who wants to explore the ecosystem!
The list is obviously not exhaustive, and I apologize in advance to all the projects not included. I also didn't include all the amazing NFT communities that are developing absolutely incredible stuff on $ALGO! 🙏
Feel free to tell me in the comments which project you would like to see on the list! 👇

Day 1⃣1⃣: Algorand will enter 2025 as one of the most scalable blockchains ever!
👉 15,578.
That's the max TPS ever recorded on #Algorand, as recently highlighted by @null_algo from @alloinfo!
Thanks to the great work of @d13_co as well, we can see that $ALGO has surpassed 10,000 TPS on mainnet multiple times since its launch.
The best part?
✅ No failed transactions included.
✅ No vote consensus included.
✅ Zero downtime.
✅ All achieved in a decentralized way, with over 2,000 nodes on mainnet.
Fast, reliable, and scalable.
#Algorand is definitely ready to handle more and more amazing use cases in 2025!
