Algorand becoming one of crypto's most decentralised networks... According to data from @chainspect_app, @Algorand recently crossed the 1,550 validator milestone, adding a full 6 in just one day. At time of writing, its validator count stands at 1,545, making it the 4th largest network by validator count, behind only @ethereum, @MultiversX and @Cardano.

Algorand is still one of the most decentralized networks Algorand (@AlgoFoundation) remains one of the leading decentralized networks, with 1,537 live validators protecting the chain. This validator involvement makes $ALGO one of the top five most decentralized blockchain platforms in the world, as the network prepares to deploy its v5.0.0 post-quantum consensus upgrade. The density of validators ensures that Algorand's real-world transaction settlement speeds reflect broad geographic and organizational participation.

Algorand is edging closer to its biggest upgrade yet @Algorand heads towards the launch of consensus v5.0.0 as node support exceeds the 75% threshold, requiring a 90% majority to launch the network's biggest architectural revamp. It adds native post-quantum (PQ) accounts based on Falcon-1024 signatures, providing resilience against PQ attacks directly within the protocol to address weaknesses in elliptic curve cryptography. In addition, it marks a transition to a pay-by-use model, in which the transaction fee is set based on the content and data consumption. It increases the smart contract size up to 16,384 bytes and enables mutable program sizes for the existing dApps without changing their Application IDs.

LATEST: 🤖 The Algorand Foundation launched AC2, an open protocol letting users approve individual AI agent signing requests, like payments or code commits, without exposing their private keys.

It's official - Algorand is the most sustainable blockchain! @Algorand was named the most sustainable blockchain technology at the 2026 World Finance Sustainability Awards. $ALGO has long been recognised for its sustainability focus, something it is now complimenting with an emphasis on quantum resistance.

Every major chain is racing quantum at once @Algorand shipped post-quantum accounts inside the protocol with v5.0.0 this week. @StellarOrg published a three-stage plan that adds quantum-safe verification to Soroban this year and first-class signers on classic accounts in 2027. Vitalik Buterin moved quantum safety up Ethereum's roadmap on August 10, Sei proposed SIP-5 for quantum-resistant accounts, and Mysten Labs is building quantum-hardened cards for $SUI wallets.
