$ALGO is outperforming its peers.

Social activity up.

Market activity up.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

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.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

We’re excited to announce three promotions across the Foundation.

Bruno Martins, formerly Chief Architect and twice acting CTO, has been appointed Chief Technology Officer. Bruno will oversee protocol engineering and will bring his deep expertise in blockchain engineering, applied cryptography, and key management systems to drive Algorand’s future innovations.

Will Beaumont, formerly Head of Pera Wallet, has been promoted to Global Head of Product & Integrations. Will will be responsible for product strategy and solutions delivery across both business and engineering, including the Pera Wallet.

Brian Whippo, former Head of Developer Relations, has been promoted to Senior Director of Integrations & Developer Tooling. Brian will be responsible for developer relations and developer tooling, and he will build out a new practice to help businesses, ecosystem partners, and AI agents bring new activity on-chain.

It's happened. A unified protocol, team, and roadmap: @AlgoFoundation x @Algorand

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Algorand protocol development and ecosystem growth are now under one roof.

Algorand Foundation and Algorand Technologies ( @Algorand ) 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.

@hampelman_data @AlgoFoundation Primarily to drive new partnerships with asset owners/issuers/platforms, increasing the $ value of assets onchain, which importantly, we're also focussing on closely integrating/embedding our DeFi protocols to utilise the assets. Collaterise, leverage, cross-margin etc -> TVL

[Amar @AmarOdedra]

New Role @AlgoFoundation: we're looking for a well-connected and entrepreneurial BD to join as Onchain Capital Markets Lead, driving commercial growth of tokenized and DeFi-composable financial assets. Algorand is becoming a home for onchain finance https://t.co/T5YteL3Sut

[JP Richardson @jprichardson]

For my Algo fam #NewProfilePic

Algorand did it first.

First blockchain with a tokenized public company stock.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Algorand has been added as a partner for @GoogleCloudTech's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2).

Google developed AP2 to initiate & transact agent-led payments across platforms securely.

Our blockchain’s instant finality, low-cost, and secure transactions make AP2-ready agent payments seamless across platforms.

@andygeaux @AlgoFoundation I can’t stop anyone from doing this kind of thing (and don’t want to discourage anyone from having a bit of fun) but in my opinion, stuff like this is, by a large, a waste of time and money.

We should be focused on building actually useful things, instead of spammy memecoins.

@nitromesh @AlgoFoundation @MySpenda Great - please ping me with your deck at [email protected]

[Amar @AmarOdedra]

Recently in Lagos 🇳🇬 at the StableAfrica Summit; my message was clear: stablecoins aren’t the solution, but they can be the rails for a solution.

The next big wins from Africa will come from mobile-first solutions leapfrogging manual & informal processes in a compliant way 🧵

[Amar @AmarOdedra]

@sortedwallet Great - please shoot over a deck to [email protected]

6/ Warning - regulators have not been welcoming to projects that fuel dollarisation or tolerate non-KYC flows.

At the @AlgoFoundation we're looking for fintech founders in Africa approaching regulation as core to building institutional trust and scale.

Africa is ready. 🌍
