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 EU recently confirmed that by 2027, every battery, textile, and electronic device sold in Europe will need a verifiable Digital Product Passport. The infrastructure to support this at scale already exists on Algorand. Companies like Repsol, Thai Union, Estรฉe Lauder, and Lavazza are using it today. A thread on who's building it ๐Ÿงต
