I've written a few articles over the years for the (fantastic) economic policy journal @MilkenReview -- on Fintech, crypto, and financial inclusion more broadly. But this is the first time I've made the cover! And for the issue of the @MilkenInstitute Global Conference! There was only about $4tn of capital hanging around the place, and it went in every participant's bag. @DataMuseum, Lab Trace, @lofty_ai, @book_io in this one as well. :) milkenreview.org/articles/cr…

Just because it doesn't say blockchain doesn't mean it's not driven by, and only enabled by, blockchain. The bigger this ecosystem gets, the more invisible the technology will become in the eyes of the consumer. This has been an amazing partnership with @FIDE_chess, right from the beginning. Nutured and taken to the next level on our side by Bruno Martins, @marcvl and @AlexaJaccarino. Huge props as well to @KeliCallaghan and @wsford for starting it all! 💪 👏
The Algorand Foundation is proud to unveil a proposal for a ‘Universal Chess Passport’ ♟️ The Universal Chess Passport is developed in partnership with @theworldchess, utilizing decentralized ID and verifiable credential standards. This pilot is currently in development and will be a game-changer for the 600 million+ people who play chess globally. One login for all chess platforms and all chess tournaments. A unified, secure identity to verify your records, ranking, loyalty programs, memberships, reputation for fair play, and more. Powered by Algorand. Read the whitepaper below 📄

Algorand now supports both Python and TypeScript, leveraging ‘Puya’ our LLVM like compiler pipeline. You don’t have to learn a variant of these languages either. They’re semantically and syntactically normal. It’s never been easier or cheaper to build apps in Web3.

Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully or write poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks.

In 2024, @exodus became the first U.S. company to trade on a national exchange and have its NYSE-listed stock digitally represented on a blockchain—Algorand. Today, CEO @jprichardson is at the first-ever White House Crypto Summit.

Replying to @0xcoconutt
1. The message obv. doesn't target normies. It targets the 50k+ ETHDenver participants like yourself arriving at Denver airport. You noticed the ad? Great. Mission accomplished. 2. The message is simple and clear. Algorand is ready for scale today and doesn't require 5 year plans to fix basic things like throughout, slow finality, etc etc. I challenge you to find anyone in the ETH ecosystem that doesn't understand what this means. 3. Of course, ETH maxis will be maxis and we won't convince them. But there are a lot of developers that just want to build great products and are frustrated with how things are going. The ad is for them. There is an alternative. Developing on Algorand is much faster because we don't fork, we have instant finality, we don't need smart contracts to create a token, we have built in atomic swaps, support native Python and Typescript, and on and on. 4. Not sure if you're a dev, but if you are, you should check us out. #AlgoFam will welcome you and help you along the way. – at Sunnyvale, CA

That is a block containing 21,954 transactions with a 100% success rate. Allow me to paint the picture more clearly. Note that many blockchains calculate their "theoretical" max TPS using the simplest form of transaction, a token transfer. Algorand says it can handle 10,000 ~ 15,000 TPS. But not just a simple token transfer. 15,000 TPS of all types of transactions, including complex smart contract calls. Not theoretical. Just a proven fact. The block number is 47321237 See it for yourself here: allo.info/block/47321237?pag…

introducing algokit python unit testing, run 30 tests in 1 second instead of 30, without docker or localnet, fully on your machine. Try putting a breakpoint on your contract and run] your test suite, it'll blow your mind 🤯 read the docs github.com/algorandfoundatio…

It's getting real - like life and death real - on this panel. Access to aid, quickly and cheaply, when it very much matters, to both banked or unbanked, thanks to blockchain- based #payments.
