It's Algorand's 7th birthday today.

Seven years of reliability, technical excellence, and real-world utility.

We were ready in 2019, and we're just as ready in 2026.

Here's to the next seven.

NEW: @Algorand has unveiled a roadmap to achieve broad quantum resistance by end of 2027.

[Mecquel @MecquelWEB3]

The Algorand Post-Quantum Roadmap is now out.

Quantum resilience by 2027.

Huge.

[Algorand @Algorand]

Quantum computers won't wait for the industry to catch up.

Algorand began preparing in 2022, and Falcon post-quantum signatures are already live on Mainnet.

Now we're going further: native Falcon-1024, hybrid accounts, and a clear path to broad quantum resilience by the end of 2027.

Built for the decades ahead.

Explore our full Post-Quantum Cryptography Roadmap below ⬇️

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Algorand CTO @bmartins_ is speaking live on a panel hosted by @TheTieIO today at 12pm ET.

The discussion will explore what quantum computing actually means for crypto and how the industry is preparing for it.

Watch live on X, YouTube, or LinkedIn.

Algorand has partnered with @tokenterminal, the on-chain data platform trusted by the likes of @Bloomberg and @binance.

Standardized, real-time metrics on fees, revenue, active users, and more are now live in one place.

The World Cup starts today. 48 teams chasing one trophy.

Blockchain is no different. Everyone is chasing.

While the rest argue over speed, security, or decentralization, Algorand is winning.

[Algorand @Algorand]

On this day 7 years ago, we produced block 0 on Algorand.

62 million blocks later, we're still running. No hitches, no downtime, not once.

Here's to the next 7.

Algorand's Debt Standard Application took second place at the global ACTUS Use Case Competition.

ACTUS is the universal standard for machine-executable financial contracts.

The judges recognised D-ASA for actually delivering what the tokenized debt space has mostly only promised: end-to-end execution of debt contract logic, live on-chain.

Not a proof of concept. Running now on-chain.

@SirAlbert2A Love the enthusiasm but would say this is largely inaccurate on all fronts

Would recommend looking at :

@CoinRabbitLoans Feel free to get in touch privately, would need to do a lotttttt of due diligence before promoting that stuff

No slowing down with the announcements 💨

[Algorand @Algorand]

The United Nations Development Programme / @UNDP has launched the Blockchain Advisory Group, a body of 26 organisations from across the blockchain ecosystem.

Algorand, through @AlgoFoundation, is proud to be a founding member alongside the Ethereum Foundation, Stellar Development Foundation, Cardano Foundation, and others.

The group will meet twice a year, each time with a different development theme.

Algorand was being used by the German government by way of @HesabPay_ to facilitate payments in the Middle East… bullish.

@nigelpont and @mattkeller1 are doing great work in the Impact sector for Algorand

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

The German Federal Foreign Office / @GermanyDiplo and @PoliSync piloted blockchain-based USDC aid payments to Damascus, Syria, through @HesabPay_, using Algorand as the settlement layer.

Results from the pilot:

• Up to 73% lower transaction costs
• Payments were 42x faster
• Greater transparency across the payment flow

A strong example of blockchain infrastructure improving humanitarian aid payments in complex environments.

Algorand CLOO @_JennieLevin recently sat down with @GlobalLegalPost to discuss her role and responsibilities at the @AlgoFoundation, and how Algorand navigates regulatory uncertainty.
