Algorand v5.0.0 was released today.
Node runners will now vote on this consensus upgrade.
If it passes:
• Post-quantum accounts at the protocol level
• Fees that price what a transaction actually contains
• A bigger, more flexible AVM

1/ Wirex x Algorand = $USDC payments going global.
We are forming a strategic partnership with @AlgoFoundation to bring $USDC on @Algorand to more than 7 million Wirex users and 80 million Visa-accepting merchants worldwide.
.@EFDevcon in Buenos Aires was a blast.
Thanks to all the builders who showed up to Algoland and Algoday, asked questions, shared what they’re building, and explored what’s possible on Algorand.
Our stress test is now complete!
To our knowledge we hosted every transaction with a 100% success rate.
We appreciate the feedback and the criticism where it’s needed.
Feedback ➡️ build ➡️ ship 🔄
Thanks to all who participated and those of you who shared 🙏🏽

During his talk at @blockworksDAS, Algorand CSMO @marcvl discussed the future of payments on crypto rails, citing the @PeraAlgoWallet card as an example.
Happy #Algoland, #Algorand#algofam@GoPlausible celebrates it with you and @AlgoFoundation, the only way we know: by Building!
🔥 Algorand X402 Protocol support is here 🔥
Algorand AVM full support has been contributed to @coinbase x402 protocol repository as a PR:
https://t.co/D6wmka9FDI
✅ Add Algorand AVM (typescript) to spec, protocol, toolings, docs, and reference implementations (Paywall and site).
✅ use-wallet to ref implementations.
✅ Algo payments
✅ ASA payments
✅ Configurable at deploy
✅ Replay attack immune using `LEASE` transaction field.
✅ Configurable fee delegation
What is X402:
https://t.co/uPfJZLuRmR
@coinbase proposed protocol built around the HTTP 402 status code, x402, enables users to pay for resources via API without registration, emails, OAuth, or complex signatures.
The future of agentic commerce on Algorand just leveled up.
X402, the universal protocol for real-time payments, now has full Algorand integration, built with @GoPlausible.
Seamless. Secure. Autonomous.
Billions of AI agents will need rails. We’re building them.
This is the first protocol upgrade since node rewards went live + AF cut its stake by well over a billion $ALGO.
Algorand decentralization is unmatched. Find me a better node distribution on any blockchain.
Algorand 4.3.0 has been voted through by our noderunners!
Another step towards true decentralization.
This protocol upgrade will go live after 208,000 rounds.
