Algorand Foundation

On Algorand, transactions don't fail.

Can your blockchain do that?

🎯 Next Step: Two upcoming hackathons, one at Harvard and one in London, aimed at attracting top-tier talent to our ecosystem.

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Easya app
to make Algorand the leading blockchain for builders.

✅ New Learning Module: Now live on Easya and giving over 1 million developers worldwide the tools to build on Algorand.

Players move up through named Floors.

Your Floor is public, attached to your name, games, and trajectory.

All player progression data will be recorded on Algorand.

Intermezzo’s first use case.

Over 1 million chess players now have Algorand wallets.

The World Chess just launched ‘The Tower’: This is Chess’s Duolingo Moment ♟️

The Tower is a vertical player progression system in which every game earns Progress Points (PP), which can be exchanged for digital and physical rewards. 🧵

Scalability 🔊

Algorand already handles over 10,000 TPS with minimal hardware. We’re exploring block pipelining, parallel execution, and state channels to future-proof performance for agentic commerce and beyond.

Post-quantum 💻

Algorand is ahead of the curve and already protects the ledger with Falcon-based State Proofs.

Next up are quantum-secure account signatures.

Privacy 🔐

Building on Algoplonk, our zero-knowledge proof toolkit, we’re extending our focus on programmable cryptography: zero-knowledge circuits, multiparty computation, and fully homomorphic encryption to power confidential apps and transactions.

The bleeding edge: stay ahead, stay secure 🥇

What’s next after production-ready? Future-proofing.

World Chess will use the Rocca wallet to launch a Universal Chess Passport, which helps prevent fraud in online chess while allowing chess players to easily transfer their credentials to other online services or over-the-board tournaments

Self-sovereign identity 🪪

Identity that is portable, verifiable, and self-owned. The Rocca wallet’s backend is based on DID and Verifiable Credentials industry standards. As such, it unlocks a large number of identity-related use cases for developers and builders.

Agentic commerce at the speed of light

Billions of AI agents will soon transact. Trad rails won’t cut it.

Algorand’s agentic payment toolkit, including X402, MCP, and A2A support, an agentic security and identity framework, and SDKs, enables devs to build agentic payment services for finance.

Tokenized financial products: TradFi-DeFi convergence with baked-in compliance 🏛️

We’re building standardized, smart contract-based representations of assets like debt and equity, using ACTUS standards. A Debt Algorand Standard Assets (ASA) MVP is coming in Q4 2025.

Can a blockchain do that? Yes. Here’s how. ✅

While Algorand supports and welcomes any type of app, we have identified four real-world, high-leverage use cases where we can contribute tools and infrastructure.

Rocca will be a white-labeled, open-sourced, self-custody wallet designed to feel like Web2. No seed phrases, passkey logins, or Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). We are championing crypto UX for everyone, not just crypto-natives.

User experience: Rocca Wallet (Q4 2025 preview, open source in 1H 2026) 👥

Traditional crypto wallet design is not welcoming for non-technical users. We are fundamentally rethinking how a self-custody wallet for a mainstream non-technical user should work.

It makes Algorand usable for loyalty programs, treasuries, and Web2.5 business models. Intermezzo is powering WorldChess’ on-chain loyalty program (launching very soon).

We are launching Intermezzo, a custodial solution for businesses large and small, designed to abstract blockchain integration and key management. The solution is built on Hashicorp Vault and REST APIs.

Enterprise readiness: Intermezzo (Q3 2025) 💼

From the very start, Algorand has been an institutional-grade blockchain. However, blockchain integration, especially related to the custody of assets, continues to be too complex.

We are also ensuring that all major LLMs are properly trained on the Algorand data set, so that devs can use LLMs as their Algorand co-pilots.

Developer experience: AlgoKit 4.0 🧑‍💻

With Algokit 4.0, we are making it even easier for developers to get started on Algorand: we’re introducing composable smart contract libraries, an easy-to-use key-value store (called ‘Schema’), and new SDKs including Rust, Swift, and Kotlin.

Mainstream adoption: kill the complexity 🌍

Complexity is the enemy of blockchain adoption for developers, businesses, and users.

We will continue to tackle this problem head-on and remove friction wherever we see it.

The final deliverable on our network decentralization roadmap is the launch of a P2P gossip network. With this launch, we are removing our reliance on relay nodes.

This is now live, with nodes having to opt in. We expect the network to gradually transition to a full P2P network as more nodes opt in

Network Decentralization

Earlier this year, Algorand Foundation launched a new staking rewards program, incentivizing Algo holders to participate in consensus. Since launch, the Foundation’s percentage of total stake decreased from 63% to 21%, while total validator participation more than doubled.
