On this day 7 years ago, we produced block 0 on Algorand.
62 million blocks later, we're still running. No hitches, no downtime, not once.
Here's to the next 7.
The German Federal Foreign Office / @GermanyDiplo and @PoliSync piloted blockchain-based USDC aid payments to Damascus, Syria, through @HesabPay_, using Algorand as the settlement layer.
Results from the pilot:
β’ Up to 73% lower transaction costs
β’ Payments were 42x faster
β’ Greater transparency across the payment flow
A strong example of blockchain infrastructure improving humanitarian aid payments in complex environments.

.@VersaBank recently completed the world's first pilot of blockchain-based deposit receipts and chose Algorand as one of their trusted networks.
When banks need security, stability, and regulatory compliance, they know where to look: @Algorand.
$ALGO is now available on @RobinhoodApp to users in every U.S state, including NY.
That's 27 million Americans with direct access to Algorand through one of the most widely used investment platforms in the country and world.
In 2021, @exodus became the first company to tokenize its common stock on Algorand.
In 2024, Exodus became the first U.S. company to have its @NYSE-listed stock represented on a public blockchain.
This was the real thing, no wrappers or synthetics.
1/ Bloomberg JUST reported the SEC is releasing its tokenized stock framework this week.
Exodus was the first publicly traded company to tokenize its stock on @algorand in 2021.
The SEC is finally catching up to what we already proved works.
Algorand CEO @StaciW_DC takes the stage tomorrow at the @AIM_Summit in London.
She'll join the panel "Tokenization & the Future of Capital Markets" to discuss how blockchain is reshaping financial markets, alongside leaders from @coinbase, Mintus, and more.
Staci will appear just before @EricTrump takes the stage with @ZCefaratti.
