🧵 The U.S. Air Force appears on a patent application that explicitly uses @Algorand

And Algorand isn’t buried somewhere in the references.

It’s part of the architecture described in the patent itself.

Secure Multiparty Computation + Algorand + U.S. Air Force-backed research.

Let’s dig in.

The patent application is titled:

“Systems and Methods for Blockchain-Based Secure Multiparty Computation.”

Applicants:

→ Florida International University
→ The United States of America, represented by the Secretary of the Air Force

The invention was developed with government support under an award from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

So what exactly is being built?

The focus is Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC).

MPC allows multiple parties to jointly compute a function using private inputs without revealing those inputs to each other.

That has obvious implications for environments where privacy and secure collaboration matter.

And this is where @Algorand enters the architecture.

The patent explicitly states that MPC can operate over the Algorand blockchain.

Messages from MPC participants can be packed into Algorand transactions and transmitted efficiently between parties using Algorand’s gossip protocol.

Why use a blockchain for MPC communication?

Traditional peer-to-peer MPC communication can become increasingly complex as more parties participate.

The patent describes using blockchain infrastructure as an efficient and reliable broadcast channel while preserving the integrity of exchanged messages.

And Algorand wasn’t selected merely as a generic example.

The document discusses characteristics of the network including:

→ Fast transaction propagation
→ Gossip-based communication
→ Transaction ordering
→ Message integrity
→ Relay and participation node architecture

Algorand becomes part of the communication layer for the MPC system.

The proposed architecture can even attach MPC messages directly to the note field of Algorand transactions.

Those transactions are then propagated through the network and recorded on the Algorand ledger.

That distinction is important.

This isn’t simply:

“Algorand mentioned in a patent.”

The patent describes an implementation in which Algorand can perform a specific architectural function:

secure communication between MPC participants.

And there is another important distinction.

This does not mean the U.S. Air Force has adopted Algorand operationally.

It means Air Force-backed research produced intellectual property in which Algorand is explicitly incorporated into the described MPC architecture.

That’s already interesting enough without exaggerating it.

Zoom out and the broader picture becomes fascinating.

Algorand was designed from deep cryptographic research.

Today we’re seeing it explored across:

Secure Multiparty Computation.
Privacy-preserving computation.
Post-quantum signatures.
State Proofs.
Native PQ accounts.

Different cryptographic problems.

Different technologies.

But the same underlying theme:

building infrastructure where security is part of the architecture, not an afterthought.

And in this case, the research behind that architecture carries a particularly interesting line:

“GOVERNMENT SUPPORT”

Awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Sometimes the interesting part isn’t simply who mentions a blockchain.

It’s what they’re actually trying to build with it.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

The @SECGov just confirmed it.

$ALGO is a digital commodity.

Not a security. Not a question. A fact.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Algorand is partnering with @GoogleCloudTech on agentic commerce.

The future of AI and blockchain technology is here, on Algorand.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

🚨 @MidasRWA , a fully regulated German tokenization platform, launches mTBILL token on Algorand, the first non-EVM launch for the token.

mTBILL is a tokenized certificate referencing short-term U.S. Treasury ETFs, available to retail investors across Europe. The redemption value is based on the liquidation proceeds of a reference basket composed of ETFs such as @BlackRock’s IB01 and BUIDL.

However, unlike the BUIDL fund, which requires a minimum investment of $5M, mTBILL is structured to allow broader access to short-duration U.S. Treasury exposure, with no minimum investment required.

With mTBILL, retail investors have the same access to high-quality assets that institutions enjoy. mTBILL investors will benefit from Algorand’s world-class infrastructure. They can trade at negligible cost, with instant finality, 24/7, without counterparty risk.

The first atomic swap transaction with mTBILL was executed on May 27th, swapping $2m USDC for mTBILLs at a cost of 0.002 Algo ($0.0004) in 2 seconds, available on-chain below. The swap was conducted via a third-party tool. Midas does not handle execution.

mTBILL is a permissionless token that offers full DeFi composability. These assets will make their way to our DeFi ecosystem in the next few weeks, stay tuned.

mTBILL currently offers a yield of 4.06%, based on the trailing 7-day yield of the underlying ETFs, net of fees, as of May 29, 2025. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

We've been working towards this moment for a really long time at @lofty_ai , so I'm happy to announce that we were fully profitable as a business last month in April! This is both for cashflow and whatever accounting method you want to use.

This means we'll probably be sticking around for a long time, whether you like us or not :)

Last month was the best month we had at the company since launching and we have no doubt we'll continue to grow rapidly.

I want to show you something that I found to be interesting and will also seem very obvious in hindsight. Here are two charts from our internal analytics. One is the raw volume in USD transacted on our exchange each month, while the other is a stacked bar chart for different methods and quantity in USD that's used on the platform, either withdrawn or reinvested.

Do you see how closely correlated the two charts are? It basically means that as a financial product, your success is basically 100% correlated to the success of your customers. If they are making more money using the platform, they will use it more.

Very simple right? Well, maybe not, because we often see too many apps in the blockchain ecosystem being a lot more extractive of their users. I think it helps to largely explain the low staying power of these businesses.

Another interesting thing is seeing the usage of the rental income. The majority of our users prefer traditional banking rails. A large amount of their earnings are reinvested back into real estate allowing their portfolios to compound over time. Crypto rail withdrawals combined are lower than that of fiat rails, but getting close over time. The majority of crypto withdrawals are in $USDC.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Today at @signalweek Algorand founder @SilvioMicali unveiled plans for a new type of blockchain, a “Fiat Chain”, geared towards institutional use cases and using only stablecoin currencies.

Not surprisingly, the new chain borrows from proven technology that Algorand is already known for: instant finality, scalability and security.

[RyanTom.algo @Ryan_tom8]

@KayBlockchain @silviomicali @Algorand The fact he can walk away is good and shows a vote of confidence in the product he created.

He made the most mathematically and technologically sound crypto in the space. Imo his talent is wasted trying improve a working product and further direct involvement is unnecessary.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Algorand’s speed isn’t just a claim—it’s battle-tested.

While we state 10,000 TPS, we’ve already surpassed this in real-world performance.

And still, 0 downtime.

@DOGE, if speed, efficiency, and reliability matter, you know where to look.

Who are you?

[Ⱥlex | france.algo 🇫🇷 @algerstmehn]

Let's be clear: Not doing any research on Algorand in 2025 is probably the worst thing you could do.

$ALGO offers more than speculation and already powers amazing real-world use cases.

Check out my quick thread, 5 minutes and you'll see blockchain adoption in a new light! 👇

@HesabPay_ is Afghanistan's #1 payment app (30% of all the country's electricity bills paid on $ALGO) and expanding to more countries.

A revolution for the unbanked, now accessing services they were previously denied.

[Our Crypto Talk @ourcryptotalk]

RWAs are increasing day by day on @Algorand 🆙

And now there is a huge one:

Italian energy leader @EnelGroup, Europe’s largest electricity producer and the world’s second-largest, has teamed up with @conio to launch a solar panel tokenization product on $ALGO.

This initiative allows Italian residents to purchase solar panels, have Enel manage them, and apply the generated energy directly to their bills—no rooftop required.

Sufficient to say that Algorand is being a great base for the RWA narrative.

🚨 BREAKING: Not Algorand🚨

@Algorand out here just casually processing 6,000 TPS like it's nothing.

No freeze, no stall, no forks, no missed consensus. Nothing weird, it just works. Like good tech should.

We ain't beta.
