Quantum resilience takes more than just marketing.

It has to be researched, tested, verified, and earned. That takes years.

Algorand has been doing the work since 2022 and is on track for broad quantum resilience by 2027.

After the Binance hack, @Ledger's CEO said everybody will be hacked at some point

But will Bitcoin?

@Algorand CEO @FinTechWilliam joined us to talk quantum-proofing $BTC — and why it's harder than people think:

"It's not something you can do in a few weeks" 👀 ⬇️

A security firm reviewed a self-custodial crypto wallet and found no critical flaws across 21 findings. Hacken's review of Pera Wallet's rebuilt app on Algorand found one High issue, in an unused helper of a shared package, and it is marked fixed. #Security algorand.pxke.me/news/articles/…

Algorand node runners on Ubuntu: please upgrade your OS. Ubuntu kernel fixes for CVE-2026-98432 are (mostly) out for 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04.

Upgrade and reboot:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo reboot

Then check that uname -r is at least the version below for your release.

Release Kernel Running kernel at least
26.04 generic 7.0.0-43-generic
aws 7.0.0-1017-aws

generic 5.4 pending (5.4.0-247.267)
cloud aws/azure/gcp/oracle: no fix yet

HWE kernels also show -generic; the version number tells them apart. 20.04 kernel updates need Ubuntu Pro (ESM). Ubuntu's CVE page still shows some of these as "pending", but the notices have shipped them.

By the way we run also a registry:

algorand-registry.pxke.me

If you have a project and want to be listed do not hesitate we are very open.

The Algorand Foundation is pausing its community grant program from December 6, closing its Forum, and shelving all three King Safety options. Its own x402 report found 95.93% of counted settlements carried a detected payer-merchant link. #crypto algorand.pxke.me/news/articles/…

Algorand Community Update

As many of you know, Algorand has new leadership and a renewed focus on building toward a sustainable, revenue-generating network model. We are excited about the unique role Algorand can play in bringing post-quantum security to the broader Web3 and digital asset ecosystem, and we believe the timing has never been better for it.

To align our work with these goals, we are sharing a series of updates on community initiatives and outstanding questions: the future of xGov, the Ecosystem Advisory Council (EAC), the Algorand Technical Council (ATC), and the status of Project King Safety, including our commitment to staking rewards.

The xGov grants program

Over the past year, the xGov program brought together a committed group of community members, and we’re grateful to everyone who took part, whether by submitting proposals, voting, or contributing to discussion. As our focus as a company shifts, we have made the decision to pause the xGov program indefinitely, effective December 6.

We also want to extend a special thanks to the members of the xGov Council for their time, care, and guidance throughout the program.

Because the Algorand Forum has, in recent years, primarily served as the home for xGov-related discussion, we will also be closing the Forum, effective November 6. A read-only archive will be made available. We encourage all Algorand developers, node runners, and ecosystem builders to join the Algorand Discord to stay up to date on the latest technical news and to connect with us directly for any support.

The Ecosystem Advisory Council & Algorand Technical Council

We formed the Ecosystem Advisory Council (EAC) in January to build a more formal bridge between the ecosystem and Algorand leadership. Its role was to gather broad-based feedback from across the community, share it with leadership, and advise on how Algorand proposals would affect the ecosystem.

As our priorities have shifted, we have decided to conclude the EAC as a company-run body, effective November 6. We want to thank the Council members for their participation.

Going forward, we still want to hear feedback and ideas from all parts of the ecosystem. The Algorand Discord is the best place to reach us.

Separately, we are also ending our sponsorship of the Algorand Technical Council (ATC) group. We will continue to host periodic Developer Council meetings for technical discussions, and you can request an invitation to this meeting by asking in Discord.

Staking rewards and Project King Safety

First and most importantly: Algorand has already committed to extending staking rewards through January 2028. This commitment stands, and it reflects our continued focus on rewarding the node runners and stakers who help secure the network.

As part of this shift, we are also indefinitely pausing Project King Safety as a holistic roadmap item. Specifically, the previously discussed ideas of lifting the ALGO supply cap (inflation-based incentives), enabling and capturing MEV, and increasing the minimum transaction fee are no longer being considered at this time.

New usage-based transaction fees, such as those in place for transactions signed using Falcon-1024 post-quantum accounts, may still be introduced or adjusted, and we will share more if and when that work progresses.

Our priority is clear: a sustainable network and continued rewards for those who help secure it.

Looking ahead

Taken together, these changes demonstrate our sharpened focus. Cryptographic security has been central to Algorand from the start, beginning with our original innovation, Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus. Falcon post-quantum signatures have run on Algorand since 2022, followed by quantum-resistant transactions in 2025 and native post-quantum accounts in 2026.

Our next chapter is about bringing those capabilities beyond Algorand to the broader Web3 and digital asset ecosystem, so custodians, wallet providers, issuers, and other networks can add post-quantum security without rebuilding the systems they already use. Building a sustainable network around that work will allow us to keep investing in Algorand, and we’re grateful to the node runners, stakers, and builders whose participation keeps it secure.

For many years, until around 2022, before I joined the #Algofam, my main community was the Elite Football League, a sim league. I had so much fun there, learned a lot and made friends from all over the world.

I arrived struggling to read and write English, and lacking in plenty eally believe the EFL and its community helped me build skills without which I probably wouldn’t be here today.

If you’ve never heard the term: sim leagues are communities, usually built around sports video games, where you create a player and complete tasks to earn points and upgrade them. Every so often the matches are simulated and time moves forward. It’s basically My Career, except every player is controlled by a real person. You played your career, improved your attributes, won a few things, started to decline, retired, and began again. Those leagues had (and still have) one clear problem: earning points meant doing tasks like writing an article, making a graphic or simulating a press conference, and over time fewer people seemed willing to do them. Some are still going, like the @VHL_Sim (vhlforum.com) and the SBA (forums.simflow.io). I’ve had players in both. Sadly, the EFL closed its doors.

So I set out to build my own: a tennis sim league, played entirely on Discord. I'calling it the Falcon Tennis Tour. You create your player and train every day with a couple of commands, without articles or homework. Your player’s career lasts 20 seasons, about two years: you improve, you peak, you decline, you retire, and your next player inherits part of your legacy. Every week has tournaments, from Falcon 250s to Grand Slams, on hard, clay, grass and a fourth surface of our own: the quantum court, whose mix of the other three is drawn before each match. Every year ends with the Falcon Nations Cup. Matches are told live in their own Discord thread. It’s free to join and holding a Lumi Rogue Ankh lets you train a bit more each week.

I'm looking for people who wants to create a player and get an early look :) Join here: discord.gg/RtFC6V35FX

🚨 Reminder for node runners:

An Algorand consensus protocol upgrade is scheduled to go into effect today (round 66,684,510).

Please ensure you are running algod v5.0.5 so that your node is prepared and can continue to participate in consensus.

Your liquidity can keep earning swap fees while you borrow against it. DorkFi, live on Algorand, takes LP tokens from certain Tinyman pools as collateral for its WAD dollar-targeting coin, so the money stays in the pool. #DeFi #LiquidityProviders algorand.pxke.me/news/articles/…
