There is very little left not to like about $ALGO at this point: 1️⃣ Painfully bad early tokenomics are firmly behind us, with only ~9% of total max supply left to enter circulation. 2️⃣ While other blockchains are just starting to think about quantum resistance, Algorand is firmly the leader in this space, with the best people in place to stay that way. Algorand’s premier quantum security expert is Professor Chris Peikert, who serves as the Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). He is widely recognised as a global authority in lattice-based and post-quantum cryptography (PQC). 3️⃣ Very few, if any, blockchains can come close to Algorand regarding its decentralisation, coupled with its instant finality and no ability to fork or reorganise its transactions, while at the same time being able to handle 10k+ TPS irrespective of tx type. 4️⃣ 3.7bn+ txns and 65M+ blocks with zero downtime since inception in 2019! Remember, Algorand does not count failed txs or charge for them if they ever happen, as some others do. 5️⃣ Large corporates are already using Algorand, never mind the pipeline.

#PostQuantum accounts can now play on AlgoChess. 🎉 @Algorand supports quantum-resistant accounts (Falcon-1024), and @algochess is ready for them. Post-quantum or classic, it works the same: 🔹 Stake your ALGO and sit at a table 🔹 Prove your wallet once 🔹 Play, the contract pays the winner. 🔹 W or L, Mine your $CHESS ⛏️ How it works: if Algorand confirms your transaction, you're in, whatever key signed it. We didn't just say it, we tested it. Three real games on MainNet: post-quantum vs post-quantum, post-quantum vs classic, classic vs post-quantum. All seated, all played, all settled by the contract. One detail: a post-quantum signature costs 0.003 ALGO in network fees instead of 0.001. The app sets it for you. Special thanks to @JorrinB who reported it. Feedback like that makes AlgoChess better for everyone. Bring whatever wallet you have. algochess.org

1,504 accounts are securing Algorand right now, with 2.04B ALGO online. @nullun built a live view of every one of them, showing when each participation key expires, how much stake sits behind it, and every block proposal and payout. Node runners, check your key 👇 partlife.nullun.com/

Canada’s federal banking regulator, OSFI, has clarified that a tokenized bank deposit recorded on a blockchain remains legally a bank deposit rather than becoming a separate financial product. This is particularly relevant to #Algorand because VersaBank has already successfully piloted its Real Bank Tokenized Deposits (RBTD) on Algorand. The ruling removes an important regulatory uncertainty and could make commercial deployment considerably easier. It is not confirmation that VersaBank will deploy RBTD commercially on Algorand, but it represents a meaningful regulatory tailwind for one of Algorand’s most promising institutional banking use cases.

🚨 WHY I’M WATCHING $ALGO. The deeper I study this New Monetary System, the more I realize some projects were built for real financial infrastructure long before tokenization became the popular word everybody is using today. That is where Algorand caught my attention. I see $ALGO sitting around: Tokenization Payments Settlement Real-world assets Always-on finance Algorand was designed to issue assets directly at the protocol level, and its own institutional strategy is focused on bringing things like bonds, equities, funds, real estate and structured products onchain. And this is where my research framework comes in. I don’t only ask: “Is the technology fast?” I ask: Can institutions trust it? Can real assets operate on it? Can it handle continuous financial activity? And does the usage actually reach $ALGO? On that last question, there is a direct connection. $ALGO is the native network asset used for transaction fees and consensus/staking, and the supply is capped at 10 billion ALGO. At the end of August 2026, roughly 9.04B—90.4% of that maximum—was already circulating. So the pathway I’m watching is: More real-world assets → more transactions → more ALGO used for network fees while More ALGO staked → more security behind the network. And Algorand’s base transaction fee is only 0.001 ALGO, which is great for adoption but also means I’m not going to pretend every billion dollars moving onchain automatically creates a billion dollars of ALGO demand. That’s why I keep saying: THE NETWORK CAN WIN WITHOUT THE TOKEN CAPTURING ALL OF THAT VALUE. I want to see both. In my New Monetary System thesis: $ALGO = fast, low-cost execution + tokenization + financial settlement infrastructure. The technology has been here. Now I’m watching whether institutional tokenization and real financial usage keep turning into recurring network demand. 👀🔥 DYOR.

$ALGO 🔐ready for Q-Day

$ALGO "Yes, Algorand aligns with the IMF’s criteria for blockchains to support tokenized finance.✅ Algorand 🤝 IMF Documented.📝👇"

A 1-cent API call. At standard published card rates, the processing fee is about 30 cents. Cards were never designed for software to buy one response at a time. x402 on Algorand is. New guide 👇 algorand.co/learn/why-api-ke…

New Update! The $COMPX Governance pool is now live! Stake $COMPX, vote on x402 fee distribution, earn $USDC. Epochs last 28 days and start 1st October. Full details below including links.

🚨 The White House just made AI controls, security and independent audits a major priority alongside Google, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Meta, Anthropic and xAI. $ALGO And @Algorand has already building for exactly this problem!!!!!!! Its AC2 protocol is designed to let AI agents request actions while keeping credentials/private keys with the user and requiring cryptographic approval before signing. One of the biggest technology challenges in the world is trusting autonomous AI agents. $ALGO is building infrastructure for that future NOW.

Heads up algo fam: Looks like Messina One just drained the mAlgo staking contract. Thanks to LiquiHog for the heads up!

If even a fraction of that agent volume settles on-chain, chains already processing x402 payments win. Algorand is one of them, and AC2 lets agents request payments without ever holding keys. Went deeper on it here: piped.video/KpHMw7qawSg

That's definitely one of the many reasons why $ALGO deserves so much more credit in this space! Making individual participation in consensus accessible and allowing ordinary people to help secure the network is pretty unique! If there's one blockchain for the people, it's Algorand! 🔥

As a pilot for 20 years I have questions: - where are the cabin crew here? - where are the oxygen masks that automatically drop during a rapid emergency descent? - how did the Capt manage to open the door while being stabbed? - Omani pilots were not allowed to fly to Israel, why was he allowed? - how did the offending pilot get a weapon onboard? - why has this happened so close to elections? - how are passengers walking around while apparently in a nosedive? - who else was injured? Nose dives cause significant g force incidents - why is there two perfectly positioned people recording the incident and not helping? - why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots onboard who would certainly know when an aircraft was in a nosedive? - why was the plumber speaking in English to Bibi after the flight - why was he still in his blood soaked clothes 8 hours after the incident False Flags have been a very effective mechanism to influence public opinion Hitler burnt down the Reichstag just before his parliament elections and he won the election…changing the course of history. A full and independent investigation should be carried out here. Hopefully independent journalist will be allowed to view this too.

The Haystack web app has a new look. It now matches the Haystack mobile app, and almost every page has been rebuilt. Here is a quick tour.

$ALGO feels like a disconnect between price and what’s happening underneath it. Users are growing, supply pressure is low, regulation is clearer, and infrastructure is improving. But capital still hasn’t fully followed. My philosophy: don’t just watch price, watch behavior. The pieces are lining up. Now I want to see if the money follows.
