The United Nations Development Programme / @UNDP has launched the Blockchain Advisory Group, a body of 26 organisations from across the blockchain ecosystem.
Algorand, through @AlgoFoundation, is proud to be a founding member alongside the Ethereum Foundation, Stellar Development Foundation, Cardano Foundation, and others.
The group will meet twice a year, each time with a different development theme.
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.
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 🧵
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.
After reading that the SUI stuff happened because of an "upgrade".
It makes it 1,000x more impressive that Algorand has done all of this and has had ZERO down time and ZERO failed transactions.
Algorand just pushed transaction costs down to monthly lows...
On May 28, @Algorand's average transaction fee dropped to just $0.00015, marking the lowest levels seen this month according to @chainspect_app.
The figure makes $ALGO one of the most competitive blockchains when it comes to accessibility - a compelling narrative working in tandem with its quantum-resistant features, as touted by the @AlgoFoundation.
Important clarification on asset inbox safety 🔐
Accepting or rejecting NFTs and tokens from your asset inbox in Pera is completely safe. This type of exploit can't occur from within the app itself.
The risk arises after leaving Pera: if you follow a link to a third-party website, connect your wallet, and sign a transaction there, that's where malicious activity can occur.
We're committed to adding more in-app safeguards to help detect and flag these risks earlier.
In the meantime, the strongest protection is staying informed: always review any transaction carefully before signing, regardless of where it originates.
Stay safe Algofam.
0 downtime since launch.
Billions of transactions processed.
Thousands of nodes running around the world.
Dozens of major protocol upgrades shipped, including P2P networking, dynamic block times, and post-quantum cryptography.
Reliability is everything.
☢️ Scam warning - @algoblow
Received two credible reports that algoblow[.]com rekeyed accounts when users connected to check airdrop
The scam is a $BLOW asset optin that also rekeys the user account. Users who sign these transactions have their accounts rekeyed, thereby permanently losing access to them.
It may only trigger for high value accounts. 4 accounts have been rekeyed so far:

Exercise extreme caution $BLOW
❌ sui:native has now been down with transactions paused for almost 3 hours, while the previous outage was just a few months ago in January (+5h).
No one can guarantee outages will never happen on any chain, including $ALGO, but reliability in crypto matters A LOT more than people sometimes realize!
Every minute of downtime can directly impact millions of users, payments, apps, businesses, and real people relying on the network...
Just imagine large-scale use cases like @HesabPay_, powered by @Algorand and already used daily by thousands of people outside of Web3.
A downtime could be very problematic!
Algorand has maintained exceptional reliability so far: nearly 7 years live, billions of transactions processed, and 0 downtime! 🔥
This is definitely one of the many reasons why so many institutions, projects, and businesses rely on it! ✅
Algorand has now processed more than 3.43 billion transactions.
According to data on @chainspect_app, the @Algorand blockchain has now processed over 3.434 billion transactions since launch.
At the same time, $ALGO is seeing an increase in ecosystem attention, perhaps driven by @AlgoFoundation's discussion of the network's quantum-resistant capabilities.
Should You Be Holding Algorand?
Let's audit.
What it is:
$ALGO is a pure proof-of-stake Layer 1 built by Silvio Micali — MIT professor and Turing Award winner. The most credentialed founder in crypto by academic pedigree.
The pitch from day one: solve the blockchain trilemma. Decentralization, scalability, and security simultaneously. No shortcuts.
10,000+ TPS. Instant finality. Fractions of a cent per transaction. Zero downtime since 2019. Six years. Not one second of network failure.
What's actually been built:
49.88 million wallets. 3.47 billion cumulative transactions. Those aren't projections. Those are on-chain numbers from the Foundation's own March 2026 insights report.
UNHCR cross-border aid distribution. Real humanitarian money moving to real people in crisis zones. That's not a pilot. That's deployed.
Nubank — Latin America's largest digital bank, 100 million clients — added ALGO. Telegram enabled ALGO trading for approximately 1 billion users. Revolut staking live for 70 million customers. Zebec integrated ALGO for payroll via Mastercard. Post Finance Switzerland added custody.
Quantoz became a Visa Principal Member using Algorand infrastructure. GoPlausible and Algorand added to Coinbase's x402 ecosystem. Swypt payment app live — merchants settle in USDC on Algorand.
Exodus — first US company to trade on a national exchange with stock digitally represented on-chain. On Algorand.
ALGO classified as digital commodity by SEC and CFTC April 2026. Same classification as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, HBAR. ✅
The quantum story:
Post-quantum Falcon signatures live on mainnet since November 2025. Coinbase's Independent Advisory Board — researchers from Stanford — identified Algorand as one of two Layer 1s best prepared for quantum threats. Google's Quantum AI team cited Algorand 32 times in a whitepaper recognizing its post-quantum cryptography as industry leading.
The US government just funded nine quantum computing companies to break current encryption. Algorand already hardened against the attack before the money was allocated.
What's good:
The technical foundation is genuinely best in class. Six years zero downtime is a real operational track record.
Community stake is 80.5% of total staked ALGO. Foundation down to 19.5%. Decentralization moving in the right direction. Staking rewards on Pera Wallet approximately 4.5% APY. Set it and forget it.
The honest flags:
TVL $77-188 million depending on the month. Volatile. AlgoFi — once Algorand's largest DeFi protocol — shut down entirely. That's a scar the ecosystem still carries.
The DeFi ecosystem remains thin. Folks Finance, Tinyman, and Pact are real but TVL relative to market cap tells the story — the network is used but not for yield-seeking capital at meaningful scale.
Supply is 88.9% circulating. Most inflation pressure already in the market. Good for future holders. Early participants absorbed significant dilution.
Brand recognition gap versus Solana and Ethereum is real and closing slowly.
The honest verdict:
Algorand is the most technically sound blockchain that most people have never used.
The zero downtime record is real.
The UNHCR deployment is real.
The quantum preparation is real.
The 49 million wallets are real.
The gap between technical excellence and market recognition is Algorand's defining tension. It's been that way since 2019. The ecosystem is maturing — stablecoin inflows up, developer activity accelerating, monthly active wallets growing. The March 2026 insights report showed the strongest builder activity signal in the dataset.
You're not betting on hype. You're betting that the quantum story, the humanitarian credibility, the regulatory clarity, and the payments infrastructure eventually get recognized by capital that hasn't shown up yet.
ISO Ledger 🛡
Algorand xGovs just funded 9 ecosystem proposals retroactively.
1,452,776 ALGO allocated through community voting.
No VCs, no team decisions, just xGovs deciding what gets built on @Algorand.
Here's where it's going 🧵
A new report from @GoldmanSachs estimates AI agent activity will increase by 2,300% by 2030.
AI agents need fast, cheap, reliable settlement to operate at scale.
Algorand has it all: instant finality, high throughput, predictable low fees, zero downtime since launch.
To give a quick update. As of yesterday we are live on mainnet & diamond IOS users are testing the app out.
We’re tackling bugs & beginning work on the android & web versions.
5 YEARS of building this and it’s been an insane journey that is really just getting started.
Researchers just published a paper proposing @Algorand for quantum resistant timestamping in open science!
They even included a full step by step guide showing other researchers how to timestamp data on $ALGO! 👀
Algorand has supported post quantum Falcon signatures since 2022 through State Proofs, helping protect its entire transaction history against future quantum threats! 🔐
The paper argues that in a world of AI generated deepfakes and synthetic data, researchers need immutable proof that datasets, hypotheses and preregistrations existed at a specific point in time.
Actually, this is very close to what projects like LabTrace are already building on $ALGO for medical and scientific data integrity!
Let's make Algorand the reference chain for trust! 🤝
How fast does @AlgoFoundation actually feel?
We dropped Algorand into our new chart next to some of the biggest names in crypto, and the speed speaks for itself
Blockchain that scales with your ambition needs speed that keeps up
