Handing your AI agent your credentials is like giving a contractor a copy of your house key.

Convenient, until it ends up somewhere it shouldn't.

AC2, the Agentic Communication and Control protocol, works more like a doorbell. The agent asks, you let it in, and nobody holds your key but you.

You won’t need a new wallet to use Algorand.

We’re shipping cross chain account abstraction that lets MetaMask, Rainbow, and basically any EVM wallet plug straight into Algorand dApps.

No custody tricks. No shared signature risk.

Your EVM key authorizes an abstracted Algorand account. Transactions are signed in a strictly isolated Algorand domain using structured signing, so those signatures are useless anywhere else by design.

For builders, we wired RainbowKit into @txnlab/use-wallet. That means near universal EVM wallet support in an Algorand dApp with minimal config.

End state 👇

• Land on a dApp
• Connect your existing EVM wallet
• Bridge in app if needed
• Start using it

Sneak peek this week launching with @AlphaArcade.

Algorand is now more decentralized than ever before.

We're transitioning from a relay node network to a P2P network.

P2P is the most decentralized option, and so we've implemented it.

Sending decentralization, censorship resistance, and network resilience to the next level.

Algorand has executed the first post-quantum transaction on its mainnet using NIST-selected Falcon signatures. This transaction demonstrates that quantum-resistant signatures can now protect real digital assets on a live public blockchain today.

...While some researchers argue practical quantum hardware remains decades away, others, including Ethereum co-founder @VitalikButerin, point to forecasts suggesting a 20% probability of cryptographically relevant quantum computers before 2030. While the timeline remains uncertain, the implication is clear: every system relying on classical public-key cryptography must adopt a post-quantum strategy well before quantum attacks become feasible.

Recently, #Algorand demonstrated that post-quantum security is no longer theoretical. The protocol team at @AlgoFoundation executed the first post-quantum transaction on Algorand using the Falcon signature scheme on the mainnet network. This transaction, secured by Falcon, a NIST-selected lattice-based signature scheme, shows that quantum-resistant signatures can protect real digital assets on a live public blockchain. While many teams are still outlining post-quantum roadmaps, Algorand has deployed working code, live infrastructure, and developer tooling that supports experimentation today.

AlgoKit 3.0 is live.

Now supporting native TypeScript alongside native Python, opening the doors for 18M+ developers to build on the Algorand blockchain; no need to learn niche languages.

Web3 just got way more accessible.

Mainnet nodes on Algorand have increased by 178% between 11/14/24 and 02/02/25 📈

The network is becoming more decentralized every day, thanks to the introduction of Staking Rewards.

BREAKING: @Conio and @EnelGroup, the world's largest electric utility company, are launching a solar panel tokenization product using the #Algorand blockchain. Italian residents can now reap the benefits of solar panels without physically installing them on their roof. They can buy panels from Enel, have Enel manage them at their facilities, and apply the actual energy production to their bill.

RWA at scale. #AlgorandCan.

Coming soon to all users very soon.

[John Woods @JohnAlanWoods]

Engineering complete.

Algorand will deploy version 4.0 tomorrow (Wednesday 15th Jan 2025).

Consensus upgrade takes about a week. So staking rewards will go live about 6.5 days later (208,000 rounds), after 90% of stake votes for long enough.

Congratulations are in order for the @exodus team on their @NYSE listing.

ICYMI: The Exodus common stock token is tokenized on the Algorand blockchain.

Tokenizing common stock on-chain? #AlgorandCan

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

2024 was a great year for Algorand.

2025 will be even better.

Welcome to Algorand Wrapped 2024!

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Staking on Algorand.

✅ No Slashing

✅ No Lockups

✅ Real-Time Rewards

Launching January 2025. Stay tuned!

[John Woods @JohnAlanWoods]

Algorand 4.0 (Staking Rewards) is now deployed on Betanet and being voted in.

~16 hours to upgrade

Next up Testnet/Mainnet.

ICYMI: As of today, @coinbase is notifying European users of the restriction of stablecoins that don’t meet MiCA requirements 🇪🇺

On #Algorand, two options are fully MiCAR-compliant and can be legally used in the EEA by 450 million people:

1️⃣ $USDCa from @circle

#Algorand is among the few non-EVM chains chosen by @circle to support USDC natively.

$USDCa benefits from instant transaction finality and extremely low fixed fees and is supported on all major CEXs.

2️⃣ $EURD from @Quantoz

Quantoz is one of the few crypto companies in Europe with an EMI license, allowing it to issue electronic money legally in Europe.

@Quantoz is fully regulated by the Dutch Central Bank, one of the most picky European central banks!

$EURD is not just a simple stablecoin but an EMT, meaning it is not subject to any volatility (1 $EURD always = 1€).

It’s a real digital and programmable Euro, exclusively issued on $ALGO, which the Dutch Central Bank has recognized as fit to support a digital Euro 💶

Speaking of quantum security, wanna hear some #Algorand lore? 🤓

The quantum-resistant signature scheme that Algorand uses (Falcon) was created by some of the biggest giga brains in cryptography, including @ChrisPeikert - who's now Algorand's Head of Cryptography.

When @NIST ran their quantum-resistance competition, Falcon beat out 80+ other submissions from top universities and researchers worldwide to become the Chosen One.

But get this - Algorand was already planning to use it even before NIST made their pick.

Now it's powering Algorand's State Proofs, making it the first blockchain to actually implement these quantum-safe signatures in production.

Algorand's leading the way while everyone else is playing catch up. Let the games begin. 🚀

Lovely little update in @PeraAlgoWallet, now you can send and receive without Opt-In.

You don’t have to think, it just works.

Send anything to anyone, receive anything from anyone, and no spam.

[akita.algo @AkitaInuASA]

Bull market is definitely back, it’s time we talk.

Akita is the true community token.

$AKTA becomes social fuel for a fully on-chain, fair & trustless social protocol.

Akita also becomes a wallet with the highest security & convenience in the industry

Launching in Q1 🧵👇
