Have you tried @getvibekit yet? The new Algorand agentic stack helps you build anything you can imagine without writing a single line of code. Example: could I create a yield-bearing stablecoin by combining @USDC with @FolksFinance ' lending protocol? Absolutely! Follow the flow on Lora: lora.algokit.io/testnet/bloc… ✅Deposit USDC in a yield management vault and receive zUSD (yield-bearing stablecoin) back. ✅ USDC gets deposited to Folks, and the vault receives fUSD back. ✅ Yield is automatically managed by the vault and can be claimed by the user at any time. ✅ zUSD is set up as a smart ASA so that permissionless transfers of zUSD will automatically handle yield attribution. ✅ Deposit flow is executed in a single atomic group (with a few extra transactions needed to cover the opcode budget and a logicsig thrown in to handle Algo fee payment) The result: a ~2.8% yield bearing stablecoin. My imagination, @getvibekit and @claudeai execution. What will you build?

It was great to meet some many talented developers today at the event kick off, and I can't wait to see what they've been building! Packed weekend ahead.
Months of building DeFi/Payments, Agentic Commerce and RegTech Solutions reaches a pinnacle this weekend for teams from across the country traveling to Goa for the Algorand India Developer Retreat! Cash is king, of course, but the real achievement 🏆 will be finished solutions ready to launch and scale. Stay tuned. Winners announced right here at the end of this epic gathering of India’s top #web3 developers.

Algorand's Debt Standard Application took second place at the global ACTUS Use Case Competition. ACTUS is the universal standard for machine-executable financial contracts. The judges recognised D-ASA for actually delivering what the tokenized debt space has mostly only promised: end-to-end execution of debt contract logic, live on-chain. Not a proof of concept. Running now on-chain.

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: • Up to 73% lower transaction costs • Payments were 42x faster • Greater transparency across the payment flow A strong example of blockchain infrastructure improving humanitarian aid payments in complex environments.

let's go!!!!
Just been informed a team flew all the way from San Francisco to Berlin to do the #Algorand Hackathon - they are not even staying for Berlin Blockchain Week 🤯

Now's a rly good time to learn about x402 & start building on #Algorand 😌 Start with @ganainmtech tutorial below then: workshop tomorrow & every month to come then: IRL hack w 42Berlin next week with 300 registered & special prizes/mentors @alphaarcade @Quantoz & more then: global challenge announced at @Algo_Bharat India Dev Retreat later in the week then: special hack challenge just for WeAreDevelopers in July then then then... @Camohe90 @GoPlausible @marcvl @Algo_Bharat @algodevs staying busy. You ready? Don't sleep on agentic commerce. It won't sleep on you! 🤠
x402 turns HTTP into a payment rail. No API keys. No subscriptions. Clients pay per request in USDC, on-chain, automatically. Watch @ganainmtech build a pay-per-API weather service on Algorand from scratch 👇

It was a pleasure discussing the challenges and opportunities related to institutional adoption with @ethereumfndn and @StellarOrg in beautiful Stockholm at the @nordicblock conference. Thanks @candicekteo for moderating the panel. Most panel members agreed that technology, not ecosystem will determine which chains will win the battle for institutional adoption. Algorand's infrastructure has been institutional-grade since the start, with unmatched reliability (no downtime in 7 years). And we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, especially in the area of post quantum resilience.
Love the infra focus of my panel at @nordicblock conference day 1. Many in the audience came up to say they really appreciated my questions. Thanks @ethereumfndn @AlgoFoundation @StellarOrg for meeting the challenge.

An Algorand team wins second place in a Solana and Fidelity hackathon on Post Quantum, implementing a live PQ flow on @Algorand, the only major chain that currently supports such flows. Congrats @ganainmtech! #QuantumIsComing #AlgorandCan
Built MultiStract over the weekend with my teammate Thijs for the #Fidelity - sponsored by #Solana hackathon - and we ended up taking 2nd place 🏆 MultiStract explores crypto-agility for digital asset custody in a post-quantum future. #Algorand is implemented and was the blueprint. ✅ The core idea: if foundational cryptography used across blockchain ecosystems were ever compromised, custody infrastructure should be able to adapt without rebuilding the entire application layer. We explored cross-chain abstractions, post-quantum authorization models, and how different ecosystems may evolve toward PQ-secure asset movement over time. Because this was built for a closed-source/private hackathon, we can’t share implementation details or the repository publicly right now, but excited to talk more about the broader ideas and research direction soon. 💚

By how many years will this accelerate the arrival of quantum computers that will break blockchain cryptography? This just put a target on the blockchains with 5 year roadmaps. Algorand had been shipping PQ features since 2022 and we will continue to do so until we are completely quantum secure.

Researchers just published a paper proposing @Algorand for quantum resistant timestamping in open science! They even included a full step by step guide showing other researchers how to timestamp data on $ALGO! 👀 Algorand has supported post quantum Falcon signatures since 2022 through State Proofs, helping protect its entire transaction history against future quantum threats! 🔐 The paper argues that in a world of AI generated deepfakes and synthetic data, researchers need immutable proof that datasets, hypotheses and preregistrations existed at a specific point in time. Actually, this is very close to what projects like LabTrace are already building on $ALGO for medical and scientific data integrity! Let's make Algorand the reference chain for trust! 🤝

How fast does @AlgoFoundation actually feel? We dropped Algorand into our new chart next to some of the biggest names in crypto, and the speed speaks for itself Blockchain that scales with your ambition needs speed that keeps up 📊 chainspect.app/chart/time?ch…

Water credits are like carbon credits but .... for water. Water management is becoming increasingly important especially with the rise of thirsty AI data centers around the world. Water credits allow these data centers (or any heavy consumer of water) to offset their water consumption, which provides the necessary funding to increase water recycling elsewhere. The world leader in water credits management is Hypercube (@wtrtoken) with implementations across Europe, South America, and now also the UK. We're proud that Hypercube has chosen Algorand to track on-chain water credits with their WTR token. mexc.com/news/1094612

🧵 1/6 The CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking and its real progress. After 10 months of stalls and backroom fights, the most important crypto market structure bill in US history is moving. But the next 90 days are where this actually gets decided. Here’s what you need to know.
