Our new CEO, William Herkelrath, took your questions in a Community AMA on Reddit, covering everything about Algorand. Key highlights: 🎯 Self-sustainability is the number one priority for Algorand 2.0, and William believes it's achievable in under 5 years. Every existing initiative and partnership is being reviewed against that goal. 💰 The plan is to deliver services the market will pay for, then use that new revenue to become net buyers of $ALGO and increase payouts to node operators. 🔐 Network security is Algorand's biggest competitive advantage, and we will be doubling down on it. That includes offering PQ attestation and validation services to other chains, pursuing non-crypto use cases, and exploring how Algorand's PQ stack can help secure tokenized stock markets. 🏢 Enterprises will soon be able to use the Algorand network without touching $ALGO directly. 🌉 Multi-chain support is a core part of the 2027 strategy, with cross-chain bridging, swapping, and messaging as priorities. More detail on implementation is expected in early Q1 2027. 🤝 William spent most of his first month on business development and partnerships, with a focus on bringing more mainstream partners, workloads, and traffic onto the network. ⛽ There are no plans to raise transaction fees. Charging more for higher-value products and services at the application layer may be explored instead. 💧 On DeFi liquidity, Algorand is open to low-risk opportunities that support network self-sustainability and has already reviewed a few pitches. 📜 Algorand already holds several patents and is likely to pursue more, particularly to protect services built on open-source tech. 🗓️ On the King Safety paper, William is taking several months to settle in before executing a new plan, with updates on timelines and milestones to follow.

Shipped a new website for @zerosignal_ai this week, designed with Claude Design. My goal was to convey privacy that doesn't feel shady or suspicious. No spy in trench coat vibes (e.g., the incognito mode icon). I wanted the opposite: somewhere serene, far from prying eyes.

The question you typed at 2am is now Exhibit B.

Hermes Agent just got privacy-preserving inference. ZeroSignal is now in the Hermes Plugin Catalog, giving agents access to 50+ models served by independent operators. No API keys. No account. No centralized prompt history.

Grok 4.7 just landed in ZeroSignal!

Your inference provider has your email, your card, and everything you've ever asked it. ZeroSignal has none of it. Now fundable from Solana, Base, Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Algorand, Monad, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC and World Chain. zerosignal.ai

Why does ZeroSignal use crypto? A card ties your name to your account. Crypto lets you pay independent operators directly. They get paid by an address, not a name.

A policy is what a company says it won't do. Architecture is what it can't do. For privacy, trust architecture, not policy.

zs-proxy runs on your machine. Your prompts go out end-to-end encrypted to a decentralized network of operators. No company in the middle collecting your requests. No payment processor that can tie them back to you.

Privacy doesn't seem that important? Just wait until you see your logs being sold on the dark web.

This is the failure mode zs-proxy is designed around. Local routing. Encrypted E2E. Rotating ephemeral keys unique to each node. Direct peer-to-peer inference with independent operators. No central backend. No central honeypot.

dealignai/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-CYBERSECURITY-NVFP4 is up on @zerosignal_ai

Three new models are live on ZeroSignal. GPT-6 Astra DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Mercury 2.5 54 models through one local endpoint.

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. Most recently, he co-founded K3 Labs, an AI-first automation platform for building and running AI agent-managed workflows, following leadership roles at Chainlink and Curv.

"0% chance anyone looks" But 100% chance they can. Every request sits on one of their servers, guarded only by a policy. ZeroSignal builds these guarantees into the architecture instead of leaving them to policy.
