It's Algorand's 7th birthday today.
Seven years of reliability, technical excellence, and real-world utility.
We were ready in 2019, and we're just as ready in 2026.
Here's to the next seven.
Algorand protocol development and ecosystem growth are now under one roof.
Algorand Foundation ( @AlgoFoundation ) and Algorand Technologies have come to a strategic agreement to unify ecosystem operations.
This agreement creates a unified powerhouse for blockchain innovation here in the United States and positions Algorand as the chain that enables financial empowerment at scale.
The German Federal Foreign Office / @GermanyDiplo and @PoliSync piloted blockchain-based USDC aid payments to Damascus, Syria, through @HesabPay_, using Algorand as the settlement layer.
Results from the pilot:
• Up to 73% lower transaction costs
• Payments were 42x faster
• Greater transparency across the payment flow
A strong example of blockchain infrastructure improving humanitarian aid payments in complex environments.

Google Quantum AI just published a landmark paper on quantum threats to every major blockchain.
Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, no blockchain receives more coverage than Algorand, cited for live post-quantum deployments across signatures, state proofs, key rotation, and smart contracts.
The alarm has been sounded. @Algorand has been answering it for years.
The Stellar network is designed to plug into traditional financial systems, extending their capabilities and enabling new efficiencies.
@The_DTCC is the backbone of the global capital markets. Our role in this partnership is to make that backbone stronger than ever.
Quantum computers will eventually break the cryptography securing most blockchains.
Algorand already has a plan.
Our post-quantum ledger strategy, explained.

Failed transactions aren't an option on Algorand.
If a transaction is invalid, it's rejected before reaching the chain.
No on-chain failures. No wasted fees.
At scale, that can mean millions of dollars saved.
That's what better blockchain infrastructure looks like.

The EVM ecosystem has over 30 million monthly active wallet users. Until today, none of them could access Algorand dApps without creating a new wallet.
That changes now with xChain Accounts.
xChain Accounts launches today with @alphaarcade, one of the top prediction markets in crypto by transaction volume.
Connect with supported EVM-compatible wallets like MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, or any other EVM wallet.
No new wallet or seed phrase required.
Real estate, on-chain.
@Lofty_ai has now surpassed $5M in rent distributed to investors, with 40,000+ users trading tokenized properties on @Algorand.
This is what the future of RWA tokenization looks like.
Europe's largest energy producer @EnelGroup is tokenizing renewable energy on Algorand.
Italian citizens can purchase tokenized shares of wind and solar plants, backed by real-world infrastructure, reducing their electricity bills.
RWAs on @Algorand are just getting started.
Big news for Algorand in Japan.
$ALGO has been added to the JVCEA Green List, a register of cryptos approved for fast-tracked listings across Japanese exchanges.
The JVCEA is overseen by Japan's FSA, the same regulator that governs banks, insurers, and stock exchanges.
This isn't a crypto-native stamp of approval; it's a traditional finance stamp of approval.
We're proud to see Algorand highlighted in @UNDP's latest report on its blockchain practice.
From agricultural traceability in Sudan to energy supply tracking in North Macedonia, @UNDP is piloting real-world systems with @wholechain, powered by Algorand.
Concrete deployments helping build more transparent, accountable public systems.
🚨 VOLKSWAGEN ACCEPTS XRP 🚨
Volkswagen Group Singapore now accepts XRP as payment, bringing crypto straight into the automotive world. This is real adoption, not hype.
