Do you know?
@Algorand just put $100,000 on the table for whoever builds the best x402 endpoint,,
real cash, public leaderboard..
[Not a promo, sharing it as a opportunity ]
The whole thing is called the Global x402 Challenge,Started in July,Will end at early October.
Winners get their spot at Devcon 8 in India this November👀
How it actually works ::
--> You build an x402 endpoint and put it on Algorand mainnet
--> AI agents pay per request when they use it
--> GoPlausible logs every payment onto a public leaderboard
--> Top 50 by usage make the cut to 10 finalist spots
--> Finalists head to Devcon 8 and pitch live
--> Judges look at "sustained potential", your build has to stay alive past the prize
The prize money :
)- 1st: $25,000
)- 2nd: $22,500
)- 3rd: $20,000
)- 4th: $17,500
)- 5th: $15,000
++ 500,000 $ALGO split across the top 20 endpoints on the leaderboard
Why this one is worth watching, if you are a builder or not :
)- Every other crypto contest is a pitch fight, this one is a usage fight
)- Most event deadline in 36 hours, this one runs five months
)- Most winners ghost after the prize, Algorand made staying live a rule
)- The whole thing is a public leaderboard, not some private room deciding it
If you build, a few things there should be worth to know:
)- Registration is open, no invite list
)- Anyone anywhere can enter(but not the usual sanctioned countries).
)- @GoPlausible handles the payment side, you just add the endpoint
)- Volume gets measured on random windows in October, so no selected time
If you build APIs, this is one to actually worth to enter......
🚨A CGAP report housed at the World Bank highlights HesabPay using @Algorand!
We have covered @HesabPay_ a lot as they deliver digital payments across Afghanistan, to people without traditional bank access, using $ALGO!
$ALGO is gaining recognition from some of the biggest names!
IBM Digital Asset Haven now @Algorand 👀
That means $ALGO sits inside enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure built for institutions, custody, settlement and multi-chain support.
This is the kind of quiet integration that matters when finance moves on-chain.
On Algorand, a transaction is a transaction.
While some chains like Solana advertise 65k TPS, the smart contract TPS may only be 1k. (I’ve asked multiple Solana devs and nobody will yet confirm the number)
Don’t want smoke and mirrors? Choose ALGO!

🚨BREAKING: $ALGO JUST WENT NUCLEAR IN EUROPE! Algorand is now OFFICIALLY MiCA compliant unlocking full access to Europe’s €18,000,000,000,000 powerhouse economy!
The floodgates are wide open. $ALGO is officially primed for mainstream domination across the continent.
This is massive. 💪 (yes, eighteen TRILLION euro massive)
🧵 While many RWA projects are still promises, Lofty has been delivering real-world tokenization for years.
Powered by @Algorand,
@lofty_ai has now surpassed $100M TVL.
Here’s why this matters. 👇
Lofty enables investors to own fractional shares of U.S. rental properties from as little as $50.
Each property is legally held through an LLC, while ownership is represented by digital tokens issued on Algorand.
Unlike traditional real estate investing:
• Fractional ownership
• Daily rental income
• Near instant settlement
• Secondary market liquidity
Every rental payment is automatically distributed on-chain to token holders.
Why Algorand?
• Transaction fees are typically around 0.001 ALGO, making thousands of daily micro-payments economically viable.
• Blocks reach finality in just a few seconds, providing immediate certainty for ownership transfers.
• Algorand Standard Assets (ASA) allow tokenized real estate to exist natively at the protocol level without relying on complex token contract standards.
The results speak for themselves:
✅ $100M+ TVL
✅ 180+ tokenized properties
✅ 21 U.S. states
✅ 40,000+ investors
✅ $5M+ in rental income distributed
This isn’t a pilot.
This isn’t a proof of concept.
It’s one of the longest-running, most active examples of Real World Asset tokenization operating at scale today.
