Another great round of questions came up during our latest Community AMA on Reddit with @marcvl, @LoafPickle, @jannotti, @wj_beaumont, and @fredestante.
Key highlights:
🤖 Agentic commerce keeps growing fast on Algorand: 1,000+ developers have joined the Global x402 Challenge, 2,000+ endpoints are already live, and ~$250K in x402 volume was processed on @Algorand mainnet over the past 30 days!
🧩 Real-world agentic use cases are already emerging, from micro-tools and market data APIs to pay-per-use LLM inference, with partners like @Sabre_Corp helping bring travel APIs into the agentic economy.
💸 @HesabPay_ has now reached 1M+ users in Afghanistan via Algorand, with successful pilots completed in Syria and activity expected to scale there over the coming months.
🔐 AC2 is designed to tackle one of the biggest challenges in agentic commerce: trust. The protocol is deliberately blockchain-agnostic, keeps credentials away from agents, and is already being explored with major payments and AI companies.
🛠️ Rocca is already powering Pera 7 and the AC2 Wallet, with two more apps coming soon and additional integrations being explored.
🛡️ Post-quantum accounts can't directly replace existing accounts, but Algorand's native rekeying lets users assign signing authority to a Falcon-based PQ account without moving their funds.
👑 The King Safety paper was submitted to the EAC at the end of July, with active discussions now underway on next steps.
💧 More capital-efficient DeFi infrastructure is on the way, including clMM, PMM, and perps, with the goal of improving USDC liquidity and reducing slippage for larger positions.
⚙️ On the protocol side, vote compression has already reduced bandwidth requirements for participation nodes, while block compression for archival nodes is in the pipeline.

DeAI and local AI share the exact same foundation: permissionless, community-driven innovation. Small contributions compound fast when a global community builds together. 🦾
Huge respect to everyone pushing the boundaries of local AI with @rapidmlx! 🤝
🖥️ A 125B model running on a machine in your house. 26 tok/s. 100% offline.
☁️ A year ago, "frontier AI" meant someone else's datacenter, someone else's account, someone else's logs.
⚡️ Today, frontier AI is local AI. Open weights. Zero data extraction.
🛡️ Collectively built. Individually sovereign.
The next evolution of Beldex consensus is here. ⚡

RWAs keep growing at an exponential rate as they move onchain.
This isn’t a future trend; it’s happening now.
We’re building alongside that shift at SynFutures, bringing U.S. stocks onchain and opening up new ways to trade global markets for everyone around the world.
And that’s happening on @base.
Last week we dropped 2 new batches of listings, with more to come.
Onchain markets are just getting started 👇
