/mine is live in the Redactor.
Type it in the playground and swing at the censorship layer. Whatever's under the asterisks is yours.
Digs this week paid 2, 4 and 7 $RANT.
The asterisks lie sometimes lol ๐ด๐ข
USDC set a new annual transaction record on Algorand this year.
Never been down since 2019, settles in ~2.8s for about $0.001, and state proofs are signed with FALCON. Post-quantum, live.
People keep asking where Algorand's users are. They're sending dollars ๐ด๐ข
USDC activity on Algorand is at an ATH! ๐ฅ
2026 isn't even over yet and $ALGO has already hit a new record for onchain @USDC transactions!
And the coolest part is that you can hold and transfer USDC with post-quantum accounts!

/register in the Redactor links your Algorand wallet in one click. Live.
It finds your NFD on-chain and you're in. No NFD, send a 0 ALGO tx with a code in the note.
One wallet per Discord account. Banned wallets don't get in.
Sybil-proof onboarding in one click ๐ด๐ข
Tuesday means Risksweeper pays ร2.
18 letters hidden on the board, asterisks mixed in. Tap tiles, find letters. Hit an asterisk and it's game over.
One of ours hit one on click 1 this week lol
#playground, 8 AM to 5 PM ET. ๐ด
One of our APL managers pinged us this week. Their payout never landed.
The bot should've sent it. Stupid bot lol. Sent now.
Redactor v12.6 went through a ledger audit, 100+ fixes. One rule: every payout pays once, to the right wallet.
Y'all catch everything ๐ข
Our Holder and Whale roles count your LP. Live.
Any $ALG* = Holder. 1M+ = Whale. $ALG* in a Tinyman or Pact pool counts too.
Register once, the Redactor reads pool reserves off Algorand and keeps your role fresh.
Providing liquidity never costs you your status. ๐ด๐ข
Every day in the Redactor has a multiplier except Saturday.
Mon Unredact, Tue Risksweeper, Wed Coinflip and RPS, Thu Blackjack, Fri Poker, Sun the daily draw.
Saturday's empty. /mine, Censordle or guess the number. Which one earns it? ๐ข
Hong Kong's banking regulator wants its banks post-quantum by 2030. Built a whole toolkit to get there.
Algorand already signs state proofs with FALCON, a NIST-selected scheme. Live on mainnet.
Full quantum readiness targeted for end of 2027. Years early lol ๐ด๐ข
The ALGO supply cap isn't moving. The Foundation dropped the plan to lift it.
Staking rewards stay through 2028 too.
Rough month for the org. But the two things holders cared about went the holders' way.
NFA, just a relieved holder lol ๐ด๐ข
Algorand Community Update
As many of you know, Algorand has new leadership and a renewed focus on building toward a sustainable, revenue-generating network model. We are excited about the unique role Algorand can play in bringing post-quantum security to the broader Web3 and digital asset ecosystem, and we believe the timing has never been better for it.
To align our work with these goals, we are sharing a series of updates on community initiatives and outstanding questions: the future of xGov, the Ecosystem Advisory Council (EAC), the Algorand Technical Council (ATC), and the status of Project King Safety, including our commitment to staking rewards.
The xGov grants program
Over the past year, the xGov program brought together a committed group of community members, and weโre grateful to everyone who took part, whether by submitting proposals, voting, or contributing to discussion. As our focus as a company shifts, we have made the decision to pause the xGov program indefinitely, effective December 6.
We also want to extend a special thanks to the members of the xGov Council for their time, care, and guidance throughout the program.
Because the Algorand Forum has, in recent years, primarily served as the home for xGov-related discussion, we will also be closing the Forum, effective November 6. A read-only archive will be made available. We encourage all Algorand developers, node runners, and ecosystem builders to join the Algorand Discord to stay up to date on the latest technical news and to connect with us directly for any support.
The Ecosystem Advisory Council & Algorand Technical Council
We formed the Ecosystem Advisory Council (EAC) in January to build a more formal bridge between the ecosystem and Algorand leadership. Its role was to gather broad-based feedback from across the community, share it with leadership, and advise on how Algorand proposals would affect the ecosystem.
As our priorities have shifted, we have decided to conclude the EAC as a company-run body, effective November 6. We want to thank the Council members for their participation.
Going forward, we still want to hear feedback and ideas from all parts of the ecosystem. The Algorand Discord is the best place to reach us.
Separately, we are also ending our sponsorship of the Algorand Technical Council (ATC) group. We will continue to host periodic Developer Council meetings for technical discussions, and you can request an invitation to this meeting by asking in Discord.
Staking rewards and Project King Safety
First and most importantly: Algorand has already committed to extending staking rewards through January 2028. This commitment stands, and it reflects our continued focus on rewarding the node runners and stakers who help secure the network.
As part of this shift, we are also indefinitely pausing Project King Safety as a holistic roadmap item. Specifically, the previously discussed ideas of lifting the ALGO supply cap (inflation-based incentives), enabling and capturing MEV, and increasing the minimum transaction fee are no longer being considered at this time.
New usage-based transaction fees, such as those in place for transactions signed using Falcon-1024 post-quantum accounts, may still be introduced or adjusted, and we will share more if and when that work progresses.
Our priority is clear: a sustainable network and continued rewards for those who help secure it.
Looking ahead
Taken together, these changes demonstrate our sharpened focus. Cryptographic security has been central to Algorand from the start, beginning with our original innovation, Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus. Falcon post-quantum signatures have run on Algorand since 2022, followed by quantum-resistant transactions in 2025 and native post-quantum accounts in 2026.
Our next chapter is about bringing those capabilities beyond Algorand to the broader Web3 and digital asset ecosystem, so custodians, wallet providers, issuers, and other networks can add post-quantum security without rebuilding the systems they already use. Building a sustainable network around that work will allow us to keep investing in Algorand, and weโre grateful to the node runners, stakers, and builders whose participation keeps it secure.
$ALG* liquidity is locked in two Vestige vaults on Algorand. Live.
Pact LP burned. Supply burned via ARC-54.
Hold $ALG* and nobody can pull the floor. Vault IDs 3563029455 and 3587908878.
The rug is physically impossible. Check the vault, not the promise. ๐ด๐ข
Most NFT staking makes you lock the thing up. We never liked that.
Hold an AlgoRanter or a Ranter Punk and RantReserve pays you $RANT and partner tokens while it sits in your own wallet.
Soft staking. Sell whenever. ๐ด๐ข
Uncensor the Name is live. A speedrun tapper in our arcade.
Asterisks hide A-L-G-O-R-A-N-D. Tap them out fast, share your time on X.
The only game where the objective is literally spelling Algorand.
Hold $ALG* to compete. Weekly prizes settle on Algorand. ๐ด๐ข
Beat my score?
Coinbase's chief calls quantum the biggest threat to crypto. Bigger than AI.
Most chains are still writing the plan.
Algorand has FALCON-signed state proofs live on mainnet. First post-quantum transaction landed Nov 2025. Full readiness targeted end of 2027.

Our Discord turned into a transfer window this week lol
One manager offering a keeper for a forward. Another telling them they still need a mid.
Every APL card is an NFT on Algorand, so the trades are real.
