Algorand Foundation

Twitter (or X) down again?

If you need something to actually run things on, we’ve had 0 downtime since launch.

You know where to find us @X 📱

Last night, we hosted a dinner with over 25 VCs from companies including: @Citi, @Cointelegraph, @Bitpanda, @genventurecap, @FunFairVentures, @animocabrands, @xbtogroup, and more.

The dinner was to talk about all that’s new with Algorand and across the ecosystem.

Over 2 billion ALGO is now staked.

That’s around 23% of all ALGO in circulation.

A 60% increase since the end of 2024.

This is just the beginning.

More major staking provider partnerships are on the way.

Algorand 🤝 AI

CMO @marcvl’s latest op-ed in @AmerBanker makes the case for blockchain as the missing layer for AI-driven commerce, coined here as “agentic commerce.”

“This is the future of commerce: autonomous, collaborative and instantaneous. But none of it works without the proper infrastructure beneath it. To support billions of transactions between AI agents, we need a new payment system that speaks the language of machines, not banks. Blockchain isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the missing piece that makes agentic commerce possible.”

Full Op-ed below 👇

We can’t comment on any discussions between the partners of Algorand Technologies and FIFA, but we can say with confidence that the scalability, performance, and security of our Layer 1, as well as its ability to host a collection like this one, are sound.

Of course, open blockchains and the transparent data they provide may not suit every build. Some entities may prefer a private database or want more control over permissions. Still, we wish FIFA the best of luck with their pivot.

There are plenty of exciting applications and companies currently building on Algorand, with many more on the way. From RWAs to DeFi, AI, NFTs, and more, it’s all happening on our enterprise grade chain.

The Algorand Q1 2025 Transparency Report is out now.
