Hey @DOGE, if you’re looking for an American-made blockchain that delivers with:
✅ Instant Finality
✅ <3s Block Time
✅ Industry-Leading TPS
✅ Quantum-Secure Chain History
✅ 0 Downtime
✅ 0 Forking
There’s only one choice. Algorand.
Justin, the fact that Solana scan didn't want to show downtime is the way the Solana team designed it to save themselves embarrassment of officially acknowledging that it has gone down, again!
FACT is that it was down ('stuck' if that is the new term for it) for almost 40 minutes, without any transactions possible! (see below screenshot).
This, in turn, created a backlog of tx's. Some of us waited over 46 hours to get USDC from CEXs to Solana wallet (this personally happened to me, see screenshot).
Also, to say nobody is doing what Solana is doing is not factual.
Some networks are doing more and are capable of sustaining high tx loads while also being decentralised.
Eg. Algorand handled multiple times over 10kTPS load, with max TPS recorded of 14,722. No degregation in performance was observed. (see screenshot)
More to the point;
If Solana is so great, why real-world projects that are adopting #blockchain tech tend to gravitate to Algorand and other L1s, and are using it now?
Talk indeed is cheap, in real-world adoption of #blockchain tech Algorand overdelivers, and few others L1s deliver.
The problem is that you do not want to acknowledge what is going on in real-world adoption of #blockchain tech, and choose to support the chain that is barely fit to handle memes, never mind real-world adoption.
At what point will we see you posting about eg. @travelx__ and the fact that 3 airlines allready are using blockchain tech to issue NFT Aeroplane tickets. So far, over 100m people have used it with over 20M tickets issued!
Or, @HesabPay_ being used by 500k+ people that were previously unbankable (40% of utilty bills in Afghanistan are paid via it)
Or, that @exodus have tokenised their stock on #Algorand that has been recently listened on NYSE.
Or, @lavazzagroup using Algorand rails to track some of their coffee supply.
Or, @Mastercard using
Algorand.
Or, @FIFACollect using #Algorand rails to issue FIFA memorable moments with ability to secure tickets for next World Cup. So far over 1.3m NFTs have been issued to 38k+ unique users.
Or, that @ArchaxEx tokenized money market fund on Algorand (tokenized interests in abrdn’s €3.8 billion Euro Money Market fund).
Or, @lofty_ai tokenizing overe 150 USA properties with daily payments of rent to their investors..
etc. etc. etc.
You have been virtue signalling for a long time about real-world adoption of blockchain technology. Yet when it happened, and is happening daily, you're nowhere to be seen and are supporting the chain that has, what I only can describe as a casino bro meme BS, going for it.
Hey Python devs, listen up… you’re part of an incredible community of millions of developers (@ThePSF, @PythonHub, @pycon, @clcoding, @Python_Dv, and more) and have created some of the most popular web properties in the world (@reddit, @dropbox, @instagram, @spotify, @mozilla).
Python-based services are scaling from ESP32 processors to the largest cloud environments.
But, until today, Python was unwelcome in decentralized computing land (aka blockchains) that required the use of arcane programming languages. With today’s AlgoKit 2.0 launch, this has now changed. #PythonOnAlgo introduces regular, semantically normal Python as Algorand’s canonical first party language.
This means Algorand enjoys compatibility with Python-native tooling, brings intimate familiarity for you, Python developers, and (coming soon) the ability to test smart contract code with the native Python testing suite.
Why should you care about blockchains? Here are 6 reasons why 🧵
I feel like there’s a coordinated effort in crypto to not talk about the underlying technology. Not sure why this is.
I’ve seen viral posts this week:
1, #BTC users being charged days worth of pay to transact (@MarceMR19) .
2, NFT minting fees @jwpark02 (it’s okay— Algorand was omitted 😅).
3, Countless threads on rising #Ethereum gas (mostly caused by a meme token) which makes adoption impossible in #ETH’s current form.
If we’ve already accepted that the future is multi-chain, why don’t we use better tech? Lots of GAS ⛽️ complaints from Ethereum users… If we don’t like it, we do something about it… right? Just can’t keep on complaining that so many blockchains are unusable.
It turns out, $pepe degens did decide to take action. They bridged #pepe from #ERC20 to #Algorand ASA via @MessinaOne. This instantly turned the Pepe token into something inclusive, as now you can even utilize fractions of tokens without paying $100 in gas.
Bridged Pepe inherits all the beautiful qualities of @Algorand— cost of 0.001 $Algo per transaction, instant finality, decentralized, secure, scalable, atomic swaps built into Layer1, green, quantum secure, capable of more swaps per second (real transactions) than Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Avalanche, and others — COMBINED.
It didn’t stop with the @MessinaOne bridge…
1. NFT marketplace @EXA_Market enabled $Pepe auctions. Imagine bidding on NFTs with the speed of Algorand and paying with your wrapped Pepe.
2. @al_goanna blue chip NFT was sold on Algorand and paid with $pepe.
3. @AlgoRai_finance enabled decentralized options trading of $pepe on @Algorand.
4. @pact_fi + @tinymanorg have dozens of $pepe pools.
5. @vestigefi platform added support to view liquidity of $pepe and see other metrics on Algorand.
6. @Algomint_io is hinting a NFT series and rewards for $goETH / $pepe pools.
7. @PeraAlgoWallet verified the $pepe token (1096015467) making it easy to find and swap in the wallet.
8. @deflyapp @AlammexOfficial @vestigefi offer DEX aggregators for your $pepe trades (automatically hops through the best route to maximize your trade on Algorand)
9. @algo_explorer and @algoscanapp track on-chain transactions… 126,000+ and almost 2k holders on @Algorand in less than a week.
10. @ShepNFTs airdropped 1 million $pepe to all holders of SHEP.
11. What comes next? Anything you dream of— Algorand works.
This is not about $pepe token @pepecoineth or @Matt_Furie. This is much bigger than them. Imagine more real assets and real use cases coming over from Ethereum to Algorand. Let @Algorand free your project and give it wings. Let’s focus more on technology and how blockchain can make things easier (not more difficult).
I was in a space today briefly with beautiful @Cointelegraph@houbiglobal@OG_Kenobi_Hello@JoeNakamoto@WCTNoah folks (very sorry I didn’t mean to “shill Pepe -> Algo” I was traveling and didn’t fully hear the question. Much love to all of you. Thanks for bearing with me) But imho the conversation was mostly about price, demand, gambling, casinos, dumping tokens, early investors, legal, etc… but not much tech talk. I’m here to talk about technology… #pepe exposed the lack of scalability in Ethereum and there is a better technological solution out there to onboard the world.
The solution is @Algorand. #Algorand
(Please take what you like and leave the rest) much love to all. Whether it’s memes, NFTs, healthcare, digital identities, games, or the future of finance… Algorand can do it all. I’m a fan of getting stuff done and onboarding people who don’t have money to waste on ⛽️, time to waste on multiple block confirmations, or patience of blockchains with downtime.
This is blockchain… all about massive disruption to norms. We don’t have to accept technology that doesn’t work. You have a voice. Take action. Build better. Make things great. #web3
$PEPE has been bridged to #Algorand! It is now available for swapping on @tinymanorg!
In today's video, we talk all about Tinyman, the premier $ALGO DEX protocol 📊

🧵 It was very refreshing to see the crypto world taking notice of @Algorand today with the launch of #AlgoKit. So glad to have @JessatAlgorand & @JohnAlanWoods on-board.
The @AlgoFoundation has grown leaps and bounds over the last year. Let's take a look:
1. We wanted decentralization... 1 click nodes coming.
2. We wanted a voice in governance... xGov update today.
3. We wanted developers... we got @reachlang and now #AlgoKit along with the best Dev Rel.
4. Universities? Algorand has partnered with Yale, Purdue, UC Berkley, Monash, Carnegie Mellon and other top schools targeting the best and brightest minds in the world thanks to the ACE Program.
5. We wanted more transparency... already 2 community all-hands webinars in 2023 from the @AlgoFoundation. Much more transparency coming.
6. We wanted more funding... Algorand Ventures is the new program dedicated to providing funding and launch support to the best builders and investors in the Algorand ecosystem. There will even be a community grant proposal process. More transparency and a voice in funding.
7. We wanted more 1-on-1 time... @StaciW_DC has been meeting with projects personally each week.
8. We wanted more events... there are multiple dozens of events this year! (I hear #NFTNYC2023 is going to be epic)
9. We wanted more of Silvio... @silviomicali stated he's stepping up more in day to day operations.
10. We wanted more exposure for @Algorand outside of the Algorand community... look what happened today. Beautiful.
#Algorand is stepping up. This is not the same Algorand as years ago. Constantly improving, growing, adapting... becoming a well-oiled machine that is just getting started. Am I saying everything is perfect? No. Am I tired of seeing so much negativity on social media? Yes. Is there room to improve more? Absolutely. There is so much good out there... focus on the good... so many great people working hard each day. We can each do our part to help grow @Algorand into something beautiful.
It takes a village. I am grateful to all of you, even the haters, and even the people who do not share my same viewpoints. Your thoughts and ideas are also valid. Let's give each other some slack, as we all see the world through different lenses. Regardless of what conclusions each of us make, we are all TEAM ALGO... we may just show it in different ways. These were just a few thoughts... take what you like and leave the rest. ❤️
We're officially on the scene 🚀 and on a mission to revolutionize access to markets and capital for India's 1.4B+ population. Join us on this exciting journey as we strive make India a hub for blockchain innovation!
The 1st of anything negative really hits home the most as we never know how to feel.
#Algofam have really suffered with this attack & I hope folks get their Algo back.
It's easy to say that the #Algorand blockchain wasn't at fault but this will leave a bad taste in some mouths.
🚨📢 @myalgo_ users must take immediate precautions to secure their accounts in light of recent reports of attacks. We strongly recommend withdrawing or rekeying your account to protect your funds.
