Anyone acting in good faith who actually tries Algorand quickly realizes the UX is unmatched.

Some other chains are great too, for sure, but it's very hard to find an experience as smooth as on $ALGO, and that's not crypto tribalism, it's just a fact.

Of course, there's still room for improvement and Algorand needs to keep pushing in areas like deeper on-chain liquidity, growing its ecosystem, adding more privacy features, improving interoperability, and reducing friction to make it a friendlier place for normies.

And above all, it needs to make people want to try it by becoming more attractive! (spoiler: Algoland, the biggest @AlgoFoundation retail campaign launching in a few days, is exactly for that 🔥)

Aside from that, the UX is incredible and that's why I truly believe $ALGO has everything it takes for DeFi and mainstream adoption. Top-tier wallets like @PeraAlgoWallet, great protocols… all that's missing is momentum, and that could happen faster than we think!

I can't remember who said it a few days ago, but the goal isn't to onboard today's million crypto users, it's to onboard the next billion normies, even without them realizing it.

And that's 100% true. This is exactly where Algorand shines and is so well-positioned IMO, as it's one of the rare chains that makes it possible to hide the blockchain side thanks to its frictionless tech, and on top of that, it's truly top-tier in terms of decentralization.

Sure, all chains can improve and find ways to become more scalable or more decentralized, but some will always be limited by fundamental design issues, no matter what they do.

Here's what $ALGO already offers today to any user:

✅ No failed on-chain txns and no wasted fees
✅ Instant settlement, no waiting for confirmations
✅ Total immutability as soon as the txn is in a block
✅ No gas fees, only low and predictable fixed fees
✅ Forks are mathematically improbable = no risk of asset duplication, even temporarily
✅ A network open to anyone who wants to run a node
✅ No rollbacks or block reorgs to worry about
✅ Quantum security is already a big focus
✅ Native atomic swaps, no smart contracts needed
✅ Keep your public address while transferring account authority (rekeying)

And all of this is already a reality, not just some vague promise for 2030 or beyond.

@chamath or use a blockchain that is prepared for a post quantum future. Algorand's ledger is already quantum secure today, and we are working on securing accounts and consensus.

[Ⱥlex | france.algo 🇫🇷 @algerstmehn]

I really hope FIFA Collect's greedy move away from Algorand serves as a lesson.

Just 10 days post-migration, @FIFACollect users are complaining non-stop, the new FIFA blockchain (built on $AVAX) is painfully slow vs $ALGO.

Never too late to turn back! 👍

[StaciW_DC @StaciW_DC]

Just because it doesn't say blockchain doesn't mean it's not driven by, and only enabled by, blockchain. The bigger this ecosystem gets, the more invisible the technology will become in the eyes of the consumer.

This has been an amazing partnership with @FIDE_chess, right from the beginning.

Nutured and taken to the next level on our side by Bruno Martins, @marcvl and @AlexaJaccarino. Huge props as well to @KeliCallaghan and @wsford for starting it all! 💪 👏

[The ReCoop @Coop_Daniels]

Starting to see #Algorand as a global public utility.

Tech is resilient. Consensus increasingly distributed. Txns cheap, fast.

Algokit = easy, low cost to build.

VCs already ran through it. Nearly fully distributed.

Active, real, growing global community.

Many real world use cases.

Well designed wallet, dex, money market, prediction market, etc.

[StaciW_DC @StaciW_DC]

Hi for obvious reasons, I do not post internal Algorand Foundation slack messages, but I decided to post this one from our head of product management @larkinyoung_ He sent it to everyone this morning. It's just to show y'all some detail around what goes into a delivery like this, but also how the teams at AF prioritize kindness and cooperation always. We are just so lucky to have these guys, each and every one of them. It's long but sooo worth reading to the end (the @s though are slack @s not twitter @s) -->

The day is finally here. AlgoKit 3.0 is now officially released! Over a year of incredibly hard work by our development partner, MakerX, our own insanely talented AlgoKit engineering team, and of course the tireless and invaluable efforts of our indomitable Developer Relations team. AlgoKit 3.0 marks a sea change in development tooling on Algorand that will transform the ecosystem. Algorand Typescript, a redesigned Utils library, advanced unit testing, visual smart contract debugging, Lora the Explorer, subscriber libraries, and of course a completely redesigned, rebuilt Algorand Developer Portal will enable countless new and experienced developers to build incredibly cool things on Algorand.

AlgoKit 3.0 was a monumental effort. Absurdly complex technical problems were solved, countless hours of testing, testing, and more testing. So many hours spent engaging with the community, listening to their successes, pains, joys, and frustrations…so many frustrations. Our AlgoKit team and MakerX have built something incredible here, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built.

The new developer portal is also a beautiful thing. It’s hard to overstate how important this effort is, especially if you remember trying to learn development on Algorand back in the days when information on building smart contracts or interacting with the Algorand blockchain was inconsistent, fragmented, and frequently outdated. The lack of cohesive and working code examples and end-to-end tutorials was frustrating.

This is no longer the case. Working with @Brian and the DevRel team, we have created, transformed, and ported nearly 650 technical documents, pushed over 1000 commits, closed 300 PRs and now after 6 months of sustained effort, the new Algorand Developer Portal is live. Designed to be incredibly fast and responsive, with a fit-for-purpose taxonomy and information architecture, and optimized for consumption by LLMs, we believe that the new developer portal will be incredibly popular with the community and will usher in a whole new cohort of Algorand devs. With over 2000 individual code snippets and ~130 new full code examples across Typescript, Python, and TEAL, devs have an incredible amount of resources at their disposal.

I want to thank the DevRel team for their tireless efforts. Building technical documentation is harder than most people think. It requires diligence, patience, unceasing attention to detail, and reviews, reviews, and more reviews. Nearly ever single document you see in the new portal has been touched by nearly everyone involved.
I want to thank:

@Astha, for being an invaluable and reliable partner to help coordinate dev portal efforts, while at the same time being everywhere all at once. She is always there to help and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Despite having to meet at all hours of the day

@Gabe, for your tireless work ethic and impressive attention to detail; you joined just in time for this effort!

@Chris Kim, for your professionalism, wealth of Algorand knowledge, and willingness to jump right in and get your hands dirty. Your future as a tech podcaster is also promising.

@Marco, for your ascerbic wit, endless curiosity, and laser focus.

@Evert, for quietly just getting the work done and delivering quality content. So very quietly.

@Stéphane, for always being willing to pick up work on top of his existing commitments, for the incredible work you did bringing ARCs to the dev portal.

@Michael Feher, for literally helping me solve every difficult problem I come across, whether it’s bizarre build errors, obscure CSS rendering issues, insanely complex technical problems, or just a great sounding board for wild ideas, you’ve been an invaluable part of this effort and a pleasure to work with. I just wish you knew a bit more about Astro. We’ll get there.

@Brian, for being a bedrock of the whole developer portal effort. Your incredible knowledge of Algorand, ceaseless drive to improve and perfect, and passion for the ecosystem is a major factor in our success. But, please, stop hogging all of the swag, dude.

@dreds, for your impressive engineering talent, open-mindedness, and incredible work ethic. You are always willing to hop on a call and solve problems together, and your laser focus on improving AlgoKit and building a magnificent engineering team is invaluable. You also really love wool hats, and that’s cool, too.

@Joe P for bring your brilliant engineering brain to every problem, and for always being ready to help, and for just being a genuinely lovely fellow.

@Giorgio Ciotti for your impressive coding skills, consummate knowledge of Algorand, and amazing attitude.

@Shane McGovern, for keeping everything from exploding and allowing us to focus on building content and writing code. He has far more important work to do here, so we very much appreciate his support throughout the past year. And for his sunny disposition and insistence on giving everyone daily affirmations.

@Alexa Carr, @Gulsah Yurdakul, @Emma, @Margarida Soares, and the rest of the marketing team for their hard work on the launch campaign, all the many assets that had to be created, and for bearing with the manic activities of the past few weeks. Thank you all!
I am sure I have forgotten some, so a big thanks to anyone that has contributed to this effort in any way, shape, or form. Thank you!!

This is absolutely crazy!

In just a month and a half since the start of 2025, @travelx__ has already completed over 33M transactions on Algorand, which is 30% of its total from 2024.

+511% compared to the same period in 2024! 🔥

[Ⱥlex | france.algo 🇫🇷 @algerstmehn]

The Ebitts app by @EnelGroup, the largest energy producer in Europe and powered by Algorand, has now been available for a few days to 59 million Italian residents! 🇮🇹

They can now invest in Token Boxes, tokenized on $ALGO and representing shares of renewable energy plants (solar, wind) maintained by Enel, and reduce their energy bills, without having to physically install anything at home! ✅

And thanks to the Ebitts app, they can easily monitor the electricity production of their Token Box in real time.

@EnelGroupIT is the first company in the world to offer this! THIS IS MASSIVE!

The use of blockchain is definitely a game-changer, both in terms of security and transparency.

And this is happening on Algorand! 🔥

[EldarDRM ⚜️⚛️ @EldarDRM]

2 months exactly since below post.

Things are looking extremely ugly for tokens with NON-FINITE supply, as their teams keep minting new tokens and adding to circulating supply.

As predicted, burn-mechanisms are not working, despite crazy fees from #Ethereum or charging for failed transactions and in general throwing everything into tx's count from likes of #Solana team.

I added $SUI and $ONDO to the table.

In order of rarity, $BTC is clearly 👑.
Saying that my thesis is that #blockchains with real-world utility ( #Algorand in particular) and need for their respective tokens to transact/maintain the network, will be ultimate winners due to deflationary pressures.

Below table, column highlighted in blue, gives you true ratio of rarity of tokens comparison once their smallest transactable units are equalised.
Also, pay attention to circulating supply column.

In order of rarity:
$BTC, $ALGO, $QNT, $ADA, $ICP, $XRP, $SOL, $AVAX, $DOT, $HBAR, $SUI, $EGLD, $ETH, $LINK, $ONDO, $POL, $NEAR

[Ⱥlex | france.algo 🇫🇷 @algerstmehn]

It's already been a week since staking rewards launched on the Algorand mainnet, and IMO, truly a MASTERCLASS! All feedback seems really positive! 🔥

Staking on $ALGO is just so smooth, whether you're a node runner (solo staking) or not, and we're seeing so many new people from other ecosystems onboarding and participating in securing the network while earning juicy rewards.

We're lucky to have plenty of quality staking options, and there's definitely one suited for everyone! 🤝

Rewards are paid in real time within each proposed block, thanks to $ALGO's instant finality… this is simply beautiful.

And we're now at nearly 1.6B $ALGO staked (19% of the circulating supply), it's starting to get very interesting!

Algorand has never been so secure! ✅

Personally, I now use @ValarStaking (P2P staking) while participating in governance with @FolksFinance: someone runs a node for me, and I receive the rewards directly.

And the experience is incredible!

Huge congrats to everyone, to all projects, and to all the teams involved! 👏👏

[EldarDRM ⚜️⚛️ @EldarDRM]

I'm seeing many conversations on my timeline re American coins/blockchains ( $ADA $ALGO $DAG $HBAR $LINK $NEAR $SOL $SUI $XLM $XRP etc.) and them potentialy being used as strategic reserves together with $BTC, and in the real-world environment (be it tokenisation of financial sector, payments, etc...)

What is evident is the lack of overall knowledge and 'trust me bro' hype naratives certain communities are 'spitting' without actually addressing real issues chains have to have to be fit-for-purpose in real-world environment use.
Where downtimes, increase in tx fees, block delay processing, and centralisation are big issues.

Yes, I do advocate for #Algorand. There is a reason for it. And until someone can factually persuade me that there is a better alternative for real-world adoption, I'll continue to do so.

$ALGO handled multiple times over 10kTPS with a peak of 14,722 TPS on the mainnet. With no degregation in performance.
Over the last year, it has had, on average, consistant 44TPS (35.5M daily transactions).

It's highly decentralised. Currently, second of all L1s. Expect this to grow rapidly as it was just yesterday when they enabled node runners rewards.

With atomic swaps, instant finality, no possibility of forking, no block reorgs, quantum history safe now, etc. Algorand is seeing daily real-world adoption and use of its rails. Eg;
@exodus used Algorand to tokenise their shares listened on NYSE.
@travelx__ issued over 20M aeroplane tickets for 3 airlines on Algorand rails, with more airlines joining.
@EnelGroupIT is one of the largest utility companies. Globaly is tokenaizing sollar panels on Algorand
@lavazzagroup tracks some of their coffee supply on Algorand rails
@lofty_ai tokenized over 150 USA properties (some of them Airbnb) on Algorand rails
@Mastercard uses Algorand rails
@FIFACollect uses Algorand rails. So far, over 1.3M FIFA memorable moments minted with the ability to reserve tickets for the World Cup.
@HesabPay_ banked over 500k people previously unbankable. 30% of electricity bills in Afghanistan are paid via Algorand network
@agrotoken tokenized agricultural produce on Algorand worth ove $50M so far
@ArchaxEx tokenized interests in abrdn’s €3.8bn money markets
etc. etc. etc.

Also, $ALGO is extremely rare if one is to compare apples for apples and look at the true non-divisible supply of tokens (see table below).
With ~84% of tokens in circulation it'll have only on average 2.7% yearly inflation from now until 2030 when the last ALGO will be distributed.
Considering ever increased use from sustainable real-world adoption expect deflationary pressure in the near future.

Also, not only that #Algorand is the USA blockchain, but also its founder, one of the most prominent MIT professors, @silviomicali work was quoted in #Bitcoin whitepaper. (Link for those who want to learn more on this https://t.co/LV3B857V4L)

In short, hype will end sooner or later. #Blockchain adoption in a real-world environment can and it will only happen on tech that is fit-for-purpose. No CTO of large corporations will ever risk their and their clients' assets/money on tech that is NOT fit-for-purpose.

PS
For all of the 'crypto bros' that are judging blockchain tech on token performance, you may as well go to the casino at this point. Real-world adoption is here and will take over from the hype and manipulation we've seen over the last decade.
