🚨HUGE: Coinbase's quantum advisory council names ALGORAND among the TWO best-positioned blockchains for the quantum era!
And @Algorand is already delivering, with Falcon-1024 quantum resistant accounts LIVE on mainnet!
While much of crypto prepares for tomorrow's threats, $ALGO is building the protection TODAY! 🔥
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

Imagine Post-quantum accounts coming to @coinbase and @Google — powered by #Algorand.
And if it’s not them, it’ll be another big-tech giant.
Mark my words.
The model is simple:
1. They pay as they go through transaction fees.
2. You provide your own security by becoming an $ALGO validator.
3. Your account authorization gets attached to an #Algorand account.
That’s it. That's how you do business.
Even $ALGO at $1 is pocket change compared to the value this infrastructure can provide.
And then comes the part people aren’t pricing in:
Economic security scales with adoption.
The more accounts that attach their authorization to Algorand, the larger the economic network becomes.
This doesn’t mean there can’t be another dip on the near horizon.
There absolutely can.
But don’t confuse price volatility with what’s being built underneath it.
Mark. My. Words.
It's that simple @AlgoFoundation .
This year alone:
We shipped one of our biggest protocol upgrades yet, bringing native post-quantum accounts to mainnet.
@Google and @Coinbase both highlighted Algorand's leading work in PQC, with 32 mentions in Google's landmark report.
And there's more to come.
Algorand is powering digital services at Vesuvius National Park 🌋
Home to one of the world's most iconic volcanoes, the park welcomes ~700,000 visitors a year.
Through AlgoWiFi, 200,000+ annual connections support ticketing, QR access & digital postcards, with visitor certification recorded on Algorand.
Algorand and @HesabPay_ have been featured in The New Humanitarian in a piece exploring stablecoin-powered humanitarian payments.
In Afghanistan, @Refugees has used HesabPay to distribute $35M+ in stablecoins to 150,000 families, reaching over 625,000 people.
HesabPay now serves 1M+ users, with all transactions on Algorand and around $183M transferred every month.
This is exactly where blockchain can make a real difference, helping funds reach people when traditional financial rails fall short.

And there's more to come.
@NewsAsset@grok They had a year to make these points and add to the bill. They decided the day before because they had no intention of signing the bill and giving Trump a win.
If it isnt Trump directly declining to sign the bill, you cant say it was his fault. This is 100% on dems given timing
