I've been told the way you can tell you have a "spy chip" installed is that they upgraded the battery in the l.edger to one that doesn't fail constantly (sarcasm). Hopeful someone takes a ESP32, open sources a wallet and 3D files to print your own, to fix this once and for all.
JUST IN: UP CLOSE VIDEO SHOWS HOW HACKERS STOLE OVER $80,000,000 SILENTLY CORRUPTING LEDGER #BITCOIN WALLETS
A SCAM SHOP IN MALAYSIA WAS LISTED AS AN "OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED RESELLER FOR YEARS"
BEHIND THE SCENES, CRIMINALS WERE INSERTING MICROSCOPIC SPY CHIPS ON EVERY WALLET
THEY REPACKAGED THE DEVICE AND SHIPPED IT TO UNSUSPECTING VICTIMS
ALL THE WHILE IT WAS SILENTLY CAPTURING THEIR PRIVATE KEYS
THIS IS WILD ‼️
Stay diligent node runners. It's a really quick and easy update but a necessary one. As the network gets more even more secure, updates like this keep you online and current with additional security features.
Please upgrade your nodes to v5.0.3 as soon as possible.
Release notes are available at github.com/algorand/go-algor….
This patch fixes an issue with DNSSEC validation that prevents nodes from bootstrapping into the network when started or restarted. The issue affects all types of nodes.
Nodes that are currently connected to the network are functioning properly, but a new start or restart with versions less than 5.0.3 will not be able to validate DNSSEC signatures, which are required by default. This would result in the node being unable to connect to the network.
My node cost me $300 a few years ago. Since then, I've made over $12,300 on rewards. Need more reasons to run a node?
1. It's easy.
2. It's inexpensive.
3. It secures the network.
4. It has a great community.
5. It's Open Source.
6. It's decentralized.
7. It's the future.
New to ALGO and riding the wave? Download @PeraAlgoWallet and stake to a pool or run a node. At the current price each block creates ~$1.25 in ALGO. My node makes 20-24 blocks a day. That's ~$25-$30 a day, every day, instantly, with no lock ups. Let your ALGO make you more ALGO.
It's an exciting day for @algofam as Algorand has announced a new CEO. I hit a personal milestone on my node today as well, crossing over 10,000 blocks! Amazing to watch as my little $300 MiniPC of a node has produced over $9,300 in ALGO. The network never sleeps.
Don't forget to check and upgrade your node. Quantum secure accounts, larger smart contracts, and the ability to have variable fees to cover network usage while keeping base TX the same price. Everything about this upgrade hits right, now it's time to do your part.
I'm not sure what's going on with Algorand today, but it woke up like it had some scores and market caps to settle, and hasn't stopped (24 hour chart).
People claim that NFTs are dead because you can't flip a Bored Ape, but they are alive and well on Algorand. Loving this NFT from @ChildrenOfBert from today's shuffle (still a few available), it reminds me of Shel Silverstein and the little terrors illustrated to his writings.
250 years ago America was born and the idea that freedom was found in self expression not in governmental rule. It was radical, it was treason, and many died for the idea. It's still radical today as the fight for sovereignty, privacy, and digital rights is the new battleground.
Someone is trying to silence the momentum of Algorand. I woke up to a "your account's reach has been temporarily restricted". Anyway, if you're seeing this, it's that time to go upgrade your node.
📢@Algorand node runners: algod v4.7.3 has been released 🔥
Check changes at github.com/algorand/go-algor… & upgrade your nodes for safety and durability improvements. 🌐

The @AlgoFoundation's own @_JennieLevin was featured in an article from the Global Legal Post yesterday. Her observations are always insightful and full of information. Definitely worth a read.

SUI keeps crashing and crypto is dumping because Saylor sold .003% of his BTC. The markets are irrational, but you're in ALGO, let's pivot from the charts. How's your node? Mine produced enough blocks in May to cover it's cost. It does this every month. Real results on Algorand.
New milestone. Hit 7500 blocks on the node ($300 mini-PC)! What started as an experiment and way to support the Algorand chain has developed into friends and helping others along the way. Thank you for the support everyone in Algofam and look forward to the road to 1000!
Great interview by @StaciW_DC with @ChrisPeikert. If you are curious about quantum-safe cryptography, the mechanics of how it works, or even the history of cryptography, this is a must watch. It feels less like a fireside chat, and more like a TED talk on all things quantum.
Today is World Quantum Day!
A great reminder that quantum's impact on cryptography isn't theoretical, it's only a matter of time.
To mark the occasion, CEO @StaciW_DC sat down with world-renowned post-quantum cryptographer and Algorand CSO @ChrisPeikert to discuss the quantum threat to blockchain.
Since 2022, @Algorand has been leading in blockchain quantum resilience by securing its entire chain history with Falcon-signed State Proofs.
In 2025, we took it further: the first quantum-resistant transaction protecting real digital assets was executed on mainnet.
With Google now targeting 2029 for its own post-quantum migration, the urgency is clear.
Algorand isn't waiting, we're already building for that future.
Watch now! 👇
Before Google called out Algorand for leading in post-quantum security, ALGO had solved the blockchain trilemma years ago. Algorand has been consistently delivering, what other chains can only promise on a future roadmap (someday), when the future is now.
A quick reminder to all Algorand node runners, as the AF onboards more people into the engineering team, updates are coming quickly this year. Don't forget to update your node and Algorand as well. The current version of Algorand is 4.6.0

This is as close to a "cheat sheet" as you'll get, to having regulators tell you which projects you should be paying attention to. When you hear DYOR, you should include papers like this as part of that research.

A quick shout out to one of many amazing projects building on Algorand. A lot of chains are making an "AI pivot" without projects being built. On Algorand, AI adoption is actually happening. AI doesn't just need crypto rails, it also needs the tools to make it possible.
New version of Pensieve-Algorand skill to have consistent blockchain-backed memory for your claw agent @openclaw .
This is a major upgrade, all scripts replaced by a MCP server and the upload of memory in the blockchain using Algorand is optimized to reduce the number of tx.
Thanks @GoPlausible for the suggestions!

Congrats to the team at @Quantoz! Don't sleep on this announcement. Quantoz runs EURQ and USDQ on Algorand. These are E-Money Token's (EMT), meaning they are classified as digital electronic money which from a regulation standpoint is even one step closer.

We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with @Visa to become a direct Visa principal member.
Through this partnership we will:
✅ Facilitate the issuance of virtual Visa debit cards
✅ Act as a BIN sponsor for fintechs and platforms
✅ Enable customers to spend regulated e-money and stablecoins wherever Visa is accepted
This is a major step in making regulated digital money truly usable in everyday payments across Europe.
