NGL, we're living in incredible times! 🫡

I've NEVER coded in my life, and this weekend I managed to deploy multiple paid x402 endpoints on $ALGO just for fun, purely through vibe coding.

You have NO excuse not to participate in the Global x402 Challenge and compete for 100K USD + a 500K ALGO prize pool!

I built something really basic here (not competing in the challenge), just a safeguard that an autonomous agent can run before taking a risky action, signing a transaction, or making a payment.

Each check costs just 0.001 USDC via x402, settled on Algorand through @GoPlausible.

If you can imagine something useful that people or agents would actually call, you can definitely build it, dev or not! 🔥

Algorand has partnered with @FlowTraders to bring 24/7 institutional liquidity to ALGO.

As institutional participation in digital asset markets grows, the Algorand Foundation and Flow Traders are committed to expanding liquidity coverage across the Algorand ecosystem.

The Algorand blockchain supports an established RWA ecosystem spanning real estate, commodities, private credit, and stablecoins, with institutional participants including Lofty, Enel, Aberdeen, and Meld.

In Q2 2026, the network recorded 23.2 million RWA transactions across 1.2 million monthly active addresses, with $1.61 billion in USDC transacted volume.

Algorand has been cooking lately 👨‍🍳

• Native post-quantum consensus upgrade is around the corner

• x402 activity keeps accelerating

• Flow Traders is bringing deeper institutional liquidity into the ecosystem

• Pera 7.0 is coming soon

• 1.5K+ x402 endpoints have already launched through the Global x402 Challenge

• HesabPay has reached the 1M users milestone using Algorand

• New products are shipping across the ecosystem, including @alphaarcade, @zerosignal_ai, @pplsexchange, @GoPlausible and more

If you ever doubted that blockchains are the future of payments, look at these stats from @Algorand's production x402 facilitator by @GoPlausible:

Payment success rate: 99.34%
Settlement time: 0.4s
Cost to merchant: $0
Cost to buyer: $0.0001* (irrespective of size of transaction)

No wonder over 1,000 end points launched in the past few weeks alone.

(*) buyer fees are temporarily free and sponsored by the facilitator. Join our x402 competition and help shape the future of blockchain-based payments. https://t.co/2t5KpqbA1T

A few weeks ago, there was basically no x402 volume on Algorand.

It has now reached 380K+ txs and $220K in settled volume so far, making it the #2 weekly chain! 🫡

Thousands of x402 endpoints are now deployed on $ALGO thanks to the challenge!

Just the beginning! 🔥

[Algorand Developers @algodevs]

Over 1,500 x402 endpoints are now deployed on Algorand for the Global x402 Challenge, and this is only the beginning 🔥

The challenge is just getting started, register and join! 🫵

Shoutout to those who have already deployed, including @CompXlabs, @mattbrigida2, @agentmeshx402, @Agent402Tools, @syra_agent, Tendril, PRISM, @useOttoAI, @Altcoin_daddy, @OyaPicks, @AlgoVerdictAPI, @Kep_on_x, Arbiter, Rampa, Consensa, @FryNetworks, Stelar Digital, @coil_trade, VEAD, tx402, roam402, ValidPay, and many more!

Let's go devs! This is your chance to compete for a share of the $100K USD and 500K ALGO prize pool! 🔥

[marcvl.algo🇺🇦 @marcvl]

1. x402 daily transactions on Base and Solana are around 251k (per x402scan). Algorand went from 0 to 40k txs in a week's time. That's not nothing.
2. x402, and agentic commerce in general, is still very, very, very early. It is not too late!
3. Algorand has the infrastructure to be successful. We are also working on a new proposal to deal with the issue of trust in agentic.
4. If you're working with merchants on x402, have them try Algorand. They'll be amazed how well it works. DM me if I can help.

Stay tuned.

Perps are coming to Algorand. Long algorand 15x ++.

Brought to you by the team that has delivered hundreds of millions in volume, real products and real liquidity on Algorand.

We believe this is a next chapter of Algorand dApps: real perps will massively boost the ecosystem and chain.

Watch this space 🥵

[Algorand @Algorand]

x402 is only getting started on Algorand.

And we're already a top 2 chain by weekly volume, according to @tokenterminal's new agentic payments dashboard.

Agent payments are going to flow on Algorand.

[Algorand Developers @algodevs]

x402 is heating up on @Algorand! There's never been a better time to join the Global x402 Challenge, with $100K USDC + 500K ALGO up for grabs! 🔥

Tomorrow, we're hosting a Reddit AMA with @Camohe90, @gabrielkuettel, and @ganainmtech.

The thread is already open, so you can start posting your questions now!

Whether you want to know more about the competition, x402, AI agents, or just need help getting started, this is the perfect place to ask.

Always cool to see this kind of coverage! 🔥

PQC is just one of MANY examples of how @Algorand has consistently led the pack.

Just a few years ago, hardly anyone saw instant finality as a priority, while $ALGO had it built in from day one.

Now, nearly every major chain is trying to achieve it!

Same with post-quantum security, I remember back in 2022 when people were saying it was pointless to start implementing PQC, while Algorand was already launching State Proofs.

Now, most chains are only starting to figure it out and are rushing in that direction after finally realizing why it matters.

Meanwhile, Algorand's native post-quantum accounts are just around the corner, with broad quantum resilience targeted by 2027! 🫡

And I have no doubt the same will happen with agentic commerce, which is still so early, while $ALGO is already one of the best-positioned chains.

IMO, whether you're an institution, a builder, or just a user, you definitely want to be on a chain that prepares for what's coming instead of scrambling to catch up later!

As @marcvl recently said in his chat with @milkroaddaily, Algorand has been building ahead of the curve for 7 years!

And it deserves way more credit for it!

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Algorand has been building ahead of the curve for 7 years.

From instant finality to post-quantum resilience, tokenization, humanitarian payments, and now agentic commerce, Algorand continues to lead the way.

x402 payments gain traction on Algorand as the Global Challenge heats up

@Algorand's x402 integration is finding real usage, with more than 160K transactions and $110K+ in volume settled through the GoPlausible facilitator, as the pay-per-request standard built for agent and machine payments spreads beyond its Base origins.

Developers can still jump into the Global x402 Challenge, which is offering a $100K USDC plus 500K ALGO prize pool for paid x402 endpoints deployed on Algorand, and the Foundation (@AlgoFoundation) is hosting a Reddit AMA on the competition this Thursday, August 6.

Banks shouldn't just use public blockchains. They should help secure them.

Algorand CEO @StaciW_DC contributed to a new @ubyx_ x @stakeFi_network paper on why regulated institutions belong at the base layer as validators.

This can help make networks more secure, resilient, and trustworthy.

[Ⱥlex | france.algo 🇫🇷 @algerstmehn]

One of the MANY reasons I love Algorand is that it feels so clean by design!

I just picked one random block from the past 24h on both Solana and Algorand, each with 1K+ txns.

Obviously, each chain has its own design choices, but on $ALGO (as has been the case since launch), the block contained 100% valid transactions, with no votes and no failed txns.

Just clean! 🫡
