I’ll be live on @therollupco podcast tomorrow at 2:30 PM ET to talk about quantum and what the October 22 OMB deadline means for banks and markets.
Tune in here: youtube.com/@TheRollupCo/str…

Algorand is now officially #1 in post-quantum across the entire industry 🥇
Over 2.7 MILLION post-quantum transactions on mainnet, more than any other blockchain on the planet.
Others are still talking about the quantum threat. We've been shipping since 2022, and nobody has caught us.

Algorand CEO William Herkelrath joined @FINTECHTVglobal live from the @NYSE today to discuss where Algorand is heading and why quantum computing is on every institution's radar.

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.

Google and Coinbase both cited Algorand as a leading blockchain in the post-quantum race.
Neither of them had seen this upgrade.
Algorand v5.0.0 just got voted in, bringing post-quantum accounts at the protocol level.

A post-quantum candidate was pulled after an AI halved its key strength in 60 hours. Two years of human review had missed it.
Security is the meta now. Our timeline:
Falcon State Proofs, 2022
First PQ txn on MainNet, Nov 2025
Shared Accounts, April 2026
Native Post-Quantum Accounts, August 2026

Algorand v5.0.0 was released today.
Node runners will now vote on this consensus upgrade.
If it passes:
• Post-quantum accounts at the protocol level
• Fees that price what a transaction actually contains
• A bigger, more flexible AVM

Prediction markets are booming on Algorand 🔥
@alphaarcade has already recorded more than $260M in total volume in 2026, compared to just $5.3M in all of 2025.
That's already 49x last year's total volume, with nearly half of 2026 still to go.

Why the agentic economy will be built on Algorand.
AI agents fire off dozens of sub-cent payments per task. Card rails buckle under it.
Algorand settles each one instantly, at a flat fraction of a cent.

Correct.
Algorand is an exceptional L1.
~25% of liquid supply staked.
VRF providing probabilistic, yet deterministic, instantly final consensus - it’s a work of art.
The work we all did to move away from Foundation stake to a pure community led L1 makes it deathless.
Algorand is EXACTLY what users and businesses should expect from a public blockchain/DLT!
Highly scalable, handling up to 15,000 TPS on mainnet with ZERO failed transactions and instant settlement!
And most importantly, TRULY decentralized!
Because anyone can claim massive TPS numbers in a controlled environment or across just a handful of validators.
Delivering this level of performance on mainnet across 1,500+ independent validators as @Algorand does is what truly matters!
And I'm not even mentioning how Algorand has proven reliable and secure for years, or how it continues to lead the pack in MANY areas, including PQC!
$ALGO deserves so much more recognition! 🫡

This took over a year to resolve, but @lofty_ai was identified by the IRS for a, supposedly random, audit last year.
Not the type of thing you want to hear or deal with as a startup founder, who still has a ton of work to grow and improve the product.
But happy to announce that as of yesterday, the investigation was closed, no changes/issues/fines, on our end.
Have you ever heard of a pre-series A company getting audited by the IRS lol?
What a journey and at this point, you can tell how much glass we've had to walk through, when I say this was one of the easier things we've had to deal with since our founding lol!

The U.S. just signed an Executive Order to fast-track post-quantum cryptography across federal systems.
Governments, enterprises, and everyone are just starting to figure this out.
Algorand's quantum resilience roadmap targets broad implementation by the end of 2027.
We're not waiting for Q-Day to show up.
