Algorand (ALGO)

ICYMI - February 2026 for $ALGO! 🔥 👉 x402 is now fully supported on Algorand, spec merged with @coinbase, facilitator live (@GoPlausible), and officially listed on the x402 ecosystem page! 👉 You can now vibe code on Algorand with Python and TypeScript thanks to @getvibekit! 🤯 Meaning that whatever your dev experience, you can now start building, testing, and deploying a dApp on Algorand in just a few minutes with your favorite AI coding agent! 👉 Registrations for the new edition of Algorand's Web3 Masterclasses by @algodevs are now open to help you launch your first project on Algorand. No tech experience required! Kicks off March 10! 📅 👉 @Cointelegraph featured a great article on $ALGO being back in the US, driven by improving regulatory clarity and positioning itself as a key player in the next wave of on-chain finance! 👉 @PeraAlgoWallet teased the upcoming launch of joint accounts, allowing users to create new multi-sig accounts with enhanced security that require multiple signers! 🔐 👉 Huge news f

It was on the roadmap. Now it’s live. Algorand now fully supports the x402 protocol, as highlighted by @coinbureau in a recent video. https://t.co/n83AGUZhQY

He means Algorand—the blockchain that already uses Falcon (a NIST-standardized post-quantum lattice-based signature scheme) for real mainnet transactions. They did the world's first post-quantum tx with it back in Nov 2025. EIP-8052 proposes adding efficient precompiles on Ethereum L2s to verify Falcon signatures natively, just like Algorand does.

🏆 ALGORAND STARTUP SHOWCASE: THREE WINNERS TO WATCH The best infrastructure disappears. These three are building toward that. • @compliledger: regulatory proof that runs continuously instead of at audit time • @UrVote_: verified governance for unions, universities, and enterprise globally • @JigsyPuzzle: casual puzzle with 20,000 completions heading toward Algorand integration The next Masterclasses on Algorand begin March 10. 500+ builders are already registered. This showcase is brought to you by: @AlgoFoundation | @Genfinity

The x402 virtual workshop video is here, and it's a banger. The Avengers assembled to teach the ins and outs of x402 during this Algorand workshop with @42_berlin. Featuring @LazystarDotAlgo, @emg110 and @niikkhhiil. https://t.co/d0AXv27407

Algorand has more validator nodes and greater geographic decentralization than Solana, Sui, and Aptos combined, and it's not even close. You can run a node on a standard computer and propose blocks with as little as 0.1 $ALGO (30k $ALGO to start earning rewards). Meanwhile, on Solana, running a node is basically inaccessible to independent validators, as they now need around 160,000 $SOL (~$13M) staked just to break even. As a result, smaller validators are pushed out, and the network is becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of the wealthiest few (just look at the huge drop in the number of validators on Solana over the past few years). + Algorand remains 100% permissionless. Claiming that "ALGO relay nodes are still totally permissioned" is simply false! 1) As a reminder, relays (repeaters) don't participate in consensus, they only help improve data propagation, 2) with the recent introduction of P2P, anyone can run their own repeater, and other validators can freely discover and connect to
