After 3.5 years, I'm bidding farewell to my wonderful colleagues at AF. I am forever grateful to @StaciW_DC for the opportunity to work alongside such a talented team, I will miss everyone.๐ซถ
Although I'm no longer in the trenches, I'm bullish AF โค๏ธ๐๐
On the @Unchained_pod, leading cryptographer @ChrisPeikert, who has led Algorand's post-quantum security implementations, joined @laurashin for a discussion.
Chris discussed Algorand's readiness in a post-quantum world.
๐งต We just open-sourced a set of Agent Skills and MCP configs that help AI coding assistants actually understand Algorand.
This works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and more.

We chose to tokenize on @Algorand for a reason: strong tech, strong builders, and a real focus on usability.
This partnership removes friction and makes onboarding easy, which is the key to growing ecosystems.
Proud of @PeraAlgoWallet and @exodus.
Pera Fund is LIVE and there are officially no excuses not to try Algorand ๐
Fund your wallet with ALGO or USDC in seconds:
โข ๐ Swap crypto via @exodus XO Swap
โข ๐ฆ Buy with fiat (global on-ramps via @realMeld)
โข ๐ซฐ ETH, SOL, BTC, XRP, Base and More โ Algorand
Less friction. More liquidity to flow. All in one Pera-native experience. ๐งผ
Start funding. Start building. ๐๏ธ
๐ Now live in Pera Wallet.
Fertile ground still needs well-designed channels ๐ฑ
Weโre thinking deeply about how liquidity flows into Algorand ๐

I want 2026 to be the year of privacy on Algorand! To help reach that goal, I have three projects that I will be working on this year. All of them are in the early prototype stage thus not production ready, but they are all working!
1. Zero Knowledge Proofs. @giuliopizzini laid the groundwork with AlgoPlonk and I am working to make ZK development even more accessible to both users and developers. snarkjs-algorand includes smart contracts and client libraries for proving and verifying ZK proofs (groth16 and plonk) with seamless AlgoKit Utils integration that works in browser! https://t.co/DmwWA60xW4
2. Stealth address support. Stealth address allow you to send someone assets without the receiver being public. Using the xHD key derivation scheme (24-word mnemonics) we can support stealth addresses without having to manage a bunch of secrets! https://t.co/F0S9ajHdR4
3. Encrypted message support. There are various ways to achieve private messages on a blockchain and some devs in the ALGO ecosystem have working solutions. However, I think the best path forward is to adopt a standard that exists outside our ecosystem and industry. That is why I created a library that uses the existing HPKE encryption standard with Algorand's xHD key derivation scheme. https://t.co/hVFqAxTKB4

Algorand is now more decentralized than ever before.
We're transitioning from a relay node network to a P2P network.
P2P is the most decentralized option, and so we've implemented it.
Sending decentralization, censorship resistance, and network resilience to the next level.
