One multi-billion project that continues to work like a startup - $ALGO | @AlgoFoundation

There were huge upgrades and updates across the ecosystem in 2025:

🔹 On-chain governance: xGov went live on mainnet, bringing grant funding fully on-chain and moving the ecosystem closer to community-driven decision-making.

🔹 Network decentralization: validator participation surged, online stake doubled, and opt-in P2P networking launched boosting resilience and censorship resistance.

🔹 Developer experience: major upgrades to AlgoKit and new TypeScript + Python language servers lowered barriers and sped up smart-contract development.

🔹 Enterprise readiness: Intermezzo delivered real Web2.5 integrations, powering loyalty, credentials, and digital identity use cases in production.

🔹 User experience: Rocca wallet design is underway for intuitive Web2-style onboarding with passkey authentication already landing via Liquid Auth.

🔹 Post-quantum progress: Algorand executed its first Falcon-secured post-quantum transaction on mainnet -a big step toward long-term security.

And the momentum continues into 2026. On deck:

🔸 AlgoKit 4.0 and AI-assisted tooling
🔸 Launch of the Rocca wallet (open-source + white-label)
🔸 Economic sustainability work via Project King Safety
🔸 New tokenization standards and agentic commerce tools
🔸 Continued advances in privacy, quantum-resilience, and scalability

Excited to see where 2026 takes the $ALGO ecosystem. 👀💡
