Algorand Developers

The power to scale. The simplicity to ship.
Ready to build on @Algorand.

[Algorand Developers @algodevs]

Deploy a paid x402 endpoint on Algorand mainnet, get it used, and climb the leaderboard.

That's the Global x402 Challenge: a $100K USD + 500K ALGO prize pool for developers building real pay-per-request services agents can call and settle instantly.

An Algorand consensus protocol upgrade is scheduled to go into effect this Thursday at Round 66,684,510.
Make sure you are running algod v5.0.5 so that your node is prepared for this and can continue to participate in consensus.

🔁 Update: final ARC-62 Circulating Supply singleton deployments 👇

- MainNet App ID: 3749374065
- TestNet App ID: 774666409

Now with ARC-28 events and ARC-65 errors on failures.

⚠️ Please use these _FINAL_ IDs going forward.

Lots happening with Algorand's ARCs lately! 🔥

Post-quantum wallet signing, a live network-wide ASA circulating supply endpoint, and an ASA Metadata Registry getting closer to launch!

Check out this thread by @cusma_b for a breakdown of what's new 👇

🧵 Big ARCs update for the @Algorand ecosystem!

Signing arbitrary data with post-quantum schemes on wallets, a network-wide ASA circulating supply endpoint live on MainNet, and the ASA Metadata Registry closing in on launch.

Here’s what’s new 👇

Node runners, a friendly nudge: if your node isn't on v5.0.3 yet, it's time.

Older versions have a DNSSEC bug that can stop your node from rejoining the network the next time it restarts. Not a surprise you want after a reboot.

Questions? Find us in node-runners on Discord.

What does the infrastructure for agentic commerce actually look like?

At Multichain Day during TOKEN2049 Singapore, Algorand Junior Support Engineer @mdmudassir0143 sat down with @cryptoape, CEO and Founder of @Multichain, to break down x402, AC2, and agentic commerce.

On Q-Day, the best gift you can receive is a quantum-secure Algorand account on @PeraAlgoWallet.

Secured with Falcon-1024 keys, your accounts on Algorand can now survive quantum computers.

Please upgrade your nodes to v5.0.3 as soon as possible.

Release notes are available at https://t.co/ZJdyaJD3bf.

This patch fixes an issue with DNSSEC validation that prevents nodes from bootstrapping into the network when started or restarted. The issue affects all types of nodes.

Nodes that are currently connected to the network are functioning properly, but a new start or restart with versions less than 5.0.3 will not be able to validate DNSSEC signatures, which are required by default. This would result in the node being unable to connect to the network.

Get started with AC2:

[Algorand Developers @algodevs]

AI agents can take action, but who actually approved it? 👀

AC2, built by Algorand, brings cryptographically verifiable human approvals to AI agents, securing everything from code deployments to x402 payments.

@seawillpdx breaks it down for you! 👇

Data stolen today could be decrypted by quantum computers tomorrow.

That's the risk behind "harvest now, decrypt later."

Let's hear @seawillpdx talk about it! 🔐👇

What happens to customer loyalty when AI agents start shopping on our behalf?

Algorand CSMO @marcvl writes in @TheAIJournal1 about why identity, trust, and permission need to be built into agentic commerce from the start.

Algorand Jr. Support Engineer @mdmudassir0143 was on stage today at Multichain Day at @token2049 with @wrappedxyz! 🔥

He gave a great fireside chat on x402, AC2, and the infrastructure powering the future of agentic commerce.
