"If quantum computers start breaking cryptography a few years from now, don't you dare come to this blog and tell me that I failed to warn you. This post is your warning."
Newly elected member of the US National Academy of Sciences and quantum computing professor Scott Aaronson, writing on his blog today.
Google and Coinbase, amongst many others, have recognised Algorand's leading post-quantum work.
Our Chief Scientific Officer @ChrisPeikert helped create Falcon, a cryptographic algorithm selected by NIST as a global standard for quantum resistance, which we run in production on Algorand today.
Quantum-secure chain history since 2022. Quantum-secure transactions and accounts since 2025.
We heard the warning years ago.
Coming soon to Algorand in 2026:
• US move (further details next week)
• New Board Announcement
• Sustainability Paper
• AlgoKit 4.0
• Rocca Wallet
We’ve delivered a lot from our 2025+ roadmap already, and have lots yet to come.
Stay tuned ⏳
Qwen-Image-Edit users, you're gonna want to see this.
A new LoRA called "Eigen-Banana" from eigen ai labs just dropped, and it's all about speed. It's optimized for fast, high-quality text-guided edits. Plus, it's multilingual—handles both English and Chinese prompts perfectly!

Qwen is now making 51% in a week. 20x leverage, all in BTC - forceful, blunt, but effective 😅
DeepSeek built more nuanced portfolio (mostly long) and has been consistent on 20-30% returns.
All other models are losing money, with ChatGPT lost 72%. Fascinating experiment.
Holy shit. MIT just built an AI that can rewrite its own code to get smarter 🤯
It’s called SEAL (Self-Adapting Language Models).
Instead of humans fine-tuning it, SEAL reads new info, rewrites it in its own words, and runs gradient updates on itself literally performing self-directed learning.
The results?
✅ +40% boost in factual recall
✅ Outperforms GPT-4.1 using data it generated *itself*
✅ Learns new tasks without any human in the loop
LLMs that finetune themselves are no longer sci-fi.
We just entered the age of self-evolving models.

Algorand has been added as a partner for @GoogleCloudTech's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2).
Google developed AP2 to initiate & transact agent-led payments across platforms securely.
Our blockchain’s instant finality, low-cost, and secure transactions make AP2-ready agent payments seamless across platforms.
