GM! ☕
Lavazza once again recorded a HUGE wave of activity on @Algorand yesterday, with 20M+ kg of coffee cherries traced on-chain.
2,600+ hectares tracked across hundreds of farmers, from harvest in Cuba to roasting in Italy, all on $ALGO!
And thanks to Algorand's State Proofs, every record stays tamper proof forever! 🔥
On April 7th, key leaders in blockchain are gathering in Washington, D.C. for the Stablecoin Privacy Summit.
Our Senior Director of Integrations & Developer Tooling, @SilentRhetoric, will be in the room representing Algorand.
Privacy isn't coming to Algorand, it's already here.
Algorand engineers already built the privacy stack. AlgoPlonk brings ZK proofs on-chain. HermesVault enables private transactions. Both live. Both open source.
Your Algorand name now works in any browser.
No plugins. No gateways.
@NFDomains just shipped native DNS + did:nfd.
One NFD gives you:
→ A real browsable domain
→ A DID with verified socials
→ Multiple linked wallets
→ Email
→ DNS records stored on-chain - your keys, your records
All auto-populated. No migration. No extra steps.
Built on @Algorand by @TxnLab.
Algorand has surpassed 3.5 billion transactions.
Real transactions. Real usage. On-chain.
0 downtime. 0 failed transactions.
Can your blockchain do that?
Watch the full segment of Algorand CEO @StaciW_DC on @Bloomberg.
She breaks down Algorand, tokenization, and the recent SEC clarity confirming $ALGO as a digital commodity, not a security.
🚨 CRYPTO: ALGORAND SURGES 16% IN 24 HOURS AFTER GOOGLE QUANTUM AI PAPER CITES $ALGO 32 TIMES AS POST-QUANTUM PIONEER
@Algorand ( $ALGO ) has jumped 16% in 24 hours to $0.1053 after Google Quantum AI's landmark paper on blockchain quantum vulnerabilities cited the network 32 times, more than any other chain besides Bitcoin and Ethereum. Google described Algorand as "the perfect example of real-world deployment of post-quantum cryptography on an otherwise quantum-vulnerable blockchain."
The paper highlighted Algorand's live FALCON digital signatures for smart contracts, state proofs, native key rotation, and multi-layered post-quantum security infrastructure. Trading volume spiked 162% in 24 hours and futures open interest jumped 55% to $58.9 million.
The rally is especially dramatic given ALGO hit an all-time low of $0.08 just days earlier following a 25% Foundation workforce cut, CTO departure, and board reshuffle. The token is now up ~20% on the week as the quantum narrative provided a lifeline to a battered community.
Algorand CSMO @marcvl sat down with @rkbaggs and @Cointelegraph to discuss the latest on Algorand.
Marc reiterated that AI agents will need blockchain rails, and more specifically, Algorand.

Let’s clear something up for the stupid people in the back — weed is not a drug. Cannabis is not a drug. Reefer is not a drug.
A drug is a man-made substance. Manufactured. Synthesized. Cooked up in a lab by humans who think they know better than nature.
A seed-bearing plant made by God, producing naturally occurring compounds that interact with the human body by design?
That’s not a drug.
That’s nature.
That’s divine intervention.
And no — you don’t have any fucking authority to tell me what I can or can’t put in my body when it comes from the same source that made my body in the first place.
Don’t worry though.
I already quit the real problem: the dirty fucking mess of pills humans invented, pushed, prescribed, and profited from.
I chose the plant.
I chose nature.
I chose to live.
Many growers simply discard cannabis leaves as waste, but a new study suggests they're throwing away something potentially priceless.
Chemists at Stellenbosch University in South Africa used advanced chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry to uncover a rare class of compounds in cannabis leaves: flavoalkaloids. These molecules are extremely uncommon in nature and had never before been identified in cannabis. Known for powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, flavoalkaloids show promise for treating cancer, chronic inflammation, and other conditions.
The researchers examined three cultivated cannabis strains and detected a total of 79 phenolic compounds, 25 of which were entirely new to cannabis science. Most strikingly, 16 of these were the rare flavoalkaloids, and they appeared predominantly in the leaves of just one strain.
The real surprise? These valuable compounds weren’t in the prized buds, but in the leaves that are routinely tossed after harvest.
Lead researcher Dr. Magriet Muller noted that cutting-edge analytical techniques made it possible to isolate these scarce molecules from the much more abundant flavonoids and other common compounds. Even seasoned cannabis chemists were taken aback by the findings.
While most research continues to focus on well-known cannabinoids like THC and CBD, this discovery reveals that cannabis chemistry is far richer and more complex than previously thought.
