A 10-year bond issued on-chain today needs to remain secure until 2036.
That's why post-quantum security matters today, not tomorrow.
On @FINTECHTVglobal, our CCO @AmarOdedra explained why Algorand has been preparing for the quantum era since 2022. 👇
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:

🧵 Big ARCs update for the @Algorand ecosystem!
Signing arbitrary data with post-quantum schemes on wallets, a network-wide ASA circulating supply endpoint live on MainNet, and the ASA Metadata Registry closing in on launch.
Here’s what’s new 👇
Even with a very small online stake, you still have a chance to be selected to propose a block on Algorand.
Thanks to Pure Proof-of-Stake and VRF-based cryptographic sortition, every participating account has a chance to be selected, with the probability proportional to its online stake.
The 30,000 ALGO minimum applies to earning direct staking rewards, not to participating in consensus.
That's the beauty of PPoS.
The Algorand team are on the ground for Multichain Day at TOKEN2049 Singapore with @wrappedxyz 🔴
We're showing enterprises and builders why Q-Day matters and how Algorand can support their path to quantum resilience.

Algorand is powering digital services at Vesuvius National Park 🌋
Home to one of the world's most iconic volcanoes, the park welcomes ~700,000 visitors a year.
Through AlgoWiFi, 200,000+ annual connections support ticketing, QR access & digital postcards, with visitor certification recorded on Algorand.
August was a strong month for the Algorand ecosystem.
While monthly active wallets, total wallets, TVL (USD), and new assets created all increased, we launched native post-quantum accounts, resulting in over 1.2M transactions through September and surpassing $277k in cumulative volume in our x402 activity.
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.
Q-Day has been coming for some time.
Algorand has been preparing for this since 2022.
After 1.4 million native post-quantum transactions, we feel more ready than ever for the post-quantum future.
Congratulations to @Algo_Bharat on achieving the milestone of 111 Algorand Blockchain Clubs active across India.
That's a growing pipeline of thousands of young developers ready to turn real-world ideas into on-chain products.
We said x402 on Algorand would be huge.
Congrats to @GoPlausible on surpassing 1 million settlements and 1.8m transactions on the @Algorand x402 facilitator.
