❗️Introducing: PQ Attest Post-quantum attestation for any transaction. PQ Attest writes a transaction fingerprint , from any supported chain, onto Algorand’s quantum-secure ledger and returns a proof you can verify independently. Today that means @base and @Algorand: pay in USDC on either network to attest a @base transaction onto Algorand's future proof ledger. Built for agents (x402) and for teams who need a durable, post-quantum record they can independently verify. More supported chains coming soon.

x402 is the easy bit. Deciding what to sell isn't. Pick something with an obvious unit: a query, a file, a verification, a minute of access. Put a price on it. Then find out whether anyone actually wants it. Here are some ideas for what to build 👇 algorand.co/blog/what-you-ca…

We're thrilled to announce William Herkelrath as Algorand's new CEO. William brings two decades of experience across AI, enterprise software, institutional finance, and blockchain infrastructure.

Algorand has officially crossed 100+ x402 providers with settled mainnet traffic through @GoPlausible! From data APIs and AI tools to agent infra, more and more services are accepting autonomous USDC payments on Algorand. We're just getting started! 🔥

Algorand v5.0 now gives builders more room to push the AVM. Programs can now reach 16,384 bytes, apps can opt into cross-app box access, and new opcodes like SHA512 and Poseidon2 expand what can be built natively. Algo devs, time to ship!
