Algorand (ALGO)

🧵 Algorand’s Ecosystem Advisory Council (EAC) Algorand just formalized its ecosystem voice — meet the EAC @AlgoFoundation just launched a new governance layer: the Ecosystem Advisory Council (EAC). Not a marketing move — a structured bridge between the Foundation and the people building/using the network. Context matters: after announcing its relocation to the United States and new Board members, the Algorand Foundation also introduced the EAC to strengthen long-term ecosystem health. The core idea: If a chain wants real-world adoption, it needs more than tech — it needs coordination, transparency, and feedback loops that don’t depend on vibes. The EAC’s mandate is pretty clear: ✅ collect & deliver broad ecosystem feedback to the Foundation ✅ advise on ecosystem impact of Foundation proposals What the EAC actually does (scope): • assesses & reports ecosystem health (at least annually, more if needed) • reviews key protocol proposals before they reach the wider community • creates a forum to synthesize community needs/concerns Meeting cadence: The EAC meets internally regularly and connects with Foundation leadership at least twice per year. That’s the “institutional memory” piece most ecosystems lack. Representation design (this is the important part): The EAC is set at 9 seats, split across the ecosystem — not just insiders. Seat breakdown: • 3 Community Representatives (top 3 vote-getters from the 2025 xGov council election) • 3 Ecosystem Project Representatives (leaders from the largest projects by TVL) • 2 Principal Staker Representatives (TBD) • 1 Chairperson Inaugural Community Representatives: • Simon Belingar (Cosmic Champs) • Patrick Bennett (TxnLab) • Uroš Hudomalj (Valar Solutions) Ecosystem Project Representatives (by TVL): • Jerry Chu (Lofty) • Benedetto Biondi (Folks Finance) • Fergal Walsh (Tinyman) Chairperson: Paweł Pierścionek (Urtho) from Nodely — and Urtho will also serve as technical advisor to the board. What comes next: The EAC plans to hold its first meeting before the end of Q1. Why this matters: This is governance moving from informal feedback → a repeatable process. Less surprise. More alignment. Better signaling for builders + serious integrations. Bottom line: If Algorand wants to scale real-world use, the ecosystem needs a seat at the table — and the EAC is a concrete step in that direction. ✅

Algorand has becomes the infrastructure layer for Japan's corporate carbon markets. Two of Japan's largest corporations, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and ITOCHU are now trading Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) on Algorand. -------------------------------------------------------MOL, the world's largest tanker operator, and ITOCHU, a conglomerate spanning energy, natural resources, and consumer goods, signed an MOU to use EACs for decarbonizing their supply chains. The transactions run through 123Carbon, a Dutch platform built on Algorand that already counts Chevron among its clients. Carbon markets have a massive traceability problem. Global supply chains are complex, and tracking certificates is expensive. Algorand solves this with on-chain transparency, every transaction is immutable, verifiable, and auditable in real time. This is the Algorand thesis in action: institutional-grade infrastructure for real-world assets. A carbon-negative blockchain processing 10,000+ TPS with zero downtime, now underpinning sustainability initiatives for Fortune 500-level enterprises. ---------- The carbon credits market sits above $400 billion today and projected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2028. Algorand isn't waiting for that future, it's building the rails. From Enel's tokenized solar farms in Italy to Japan's corporate carbon trading, the pattern is clear: when institutions need blockchain infrastructure that works, they're choosing Algorand. $ALGO

🧵 Japan’s decarbonization infrastructure is getting real. MOL + ITOCHU are scaling Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) via 123Carbon — and @AlgoFoundation is positioned as the integrity layer behind the chain-of-custody. Who’s who: • MOL (Mitsui O.S.K. Lines) = one of Japan’s major shipping groups, deeply exposed to maritime decarb pressure. • ITOCHU = a major Japanese trading house bridging commodities + real-world supply chains. What are EACs in plain English? They’re digital certificates representing the environmental attribute of an activity or energy product (ex: cleaner fuel / SAF / biofuel), designed so claims can be tracked and verified at scale. Why shipping + aviation care: Decarbonization in these sectors needs credible accounting across messy global supply chains, especially when the green attribute is separated from the physical fuel (Book & Claim / insetting style models). The actual move: MOL and ITOCHU signed an MoU around EAC trading via 123Carbon, including use cases ti

I need help @PeraAlgoWallet @FolksFinance @Algorand @AlgoFoundation @marcvl Issue: xALGO Ultrastaking — unstake is stuck. Pera: “Your transaction is being processed” after signing. Folks: “unexpected problem” + tech detail: insertBefore DOM error. Environment: iOS + Safari + Pera, also tested Chrome on PC. WalletConnect shows WCV1 session. Actions tried: disconnect/reconnect WC, refresh, new attempts. Still blocked. Support ticket submitted w/ screenshots. Please advise how to complete the unstake or safely reset/cancel pending txs. Wallet: YW7K…HEB5Q Community: has anyone seen this before? What’s the fastest workaround / best contact (WCv2, alternative Algo wallet, desktop flow)?

As I continue to watch the Algorand ecosystem grow, I still find puzzling, how much time developers waste rebuilding the same foundational smart contract features over and over. It has been a wild one fam! But interestingly, the @FolksFinance community just solved this problem today. The newly approved proposal (ID #3368473647) funds the $FOLKS Smart Contract Library, a modular, audited collection of reusable contracts designed to make building on Algorand faster and safer. I love how it abstracts common patterns like role-based access, upgradeable contracts, and rate limiting, so developers can focus on building their unique logic instead of reinventing the wheel. The library includes handy utilities for handling data structures and type conversions, making complex tasks simpler. From my perspective, this isn’t just a toolkit, it’s a blueprint for higher-quality, scalable dApps on Algorand. By supporting this proposal, the community is backing a foundation that can accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and empower developers to ship faster. For anyone serious about Algorand, this is a game-changing step going forward. Full proposal breakdown available via: https://t.co/aUwIqOUJXx

$ALGO 📉⚠️📊 Last update flagged a corrective retest from the 13.2 area, with downside targets at the golden pocket near 12.3 and the channel low around 11.6. Price followed through cleanly, correcting ~15% and tagging as low as the 11.2 zone. Structure is now stressed. RSI has lost the 50 level and momentum is no longer supportive, putting the burden entirely on price reclaiming key value. This candle is decisive. Failure to close back above 12.3 keeps price below the golden pocket and risks losing the channel entirely, opening continuation toward and potentially below the October 10 lows. #BTC #ETH #CRYPTO #TRADING #TRX #ALTCOINS
