After 3.5 years, I'm bidding farewell to my wonderful colleagues at AF. I am forever grateful to @StaciW_DC for the opportunity to work alongside such a talented team, I will miss everyone.🫶 Although I'm no longer in the trenches, I'm bullish AF ❤️🙌🚀

@AlgoFoundation @bmartins_ @wj_beaumont Dream team 🚀

We’re excited to announce three promotions across the Foundation. Bruno Martins, formerly Chief Architect and twice acting CTO, has been appointed Chief Technology Officer. Bruno will oversee protocol engineering and will bring his deep expertise in blockchain engineering, applied cryptography, and key management systems to drive Algorand’s future innovations. Will Beaumont, formerly Head of Pera Wallet, has been promoted to Global Head of Product & Integrations. Will will be responsible for product strategy and solutions delivery across both business and engineering, including the Pera Wallet. Brian Whippo, former Head of Developer Relations, has been promoted to Senior Director of Integrations & Developer Tooling. Brian will be responsible for developer relations and developer tooling, and he will build out a new practice to help businesses, ecosystem partners, and AI agents bring new activity on-chain.

@tedchenCPC @stablecoin_x @ethena Congrats @tedchenCPC!! 🚀

I'm excited to announce that with $TLGYF's shareholder vote scheduled for today, @stablecoin_x, the $ENA treasury company for @ethena, will be publicly listed soon under the ticker $USDE. All $TLGYF public shares will be automatically converted on a 1-for-1 basis at closing. I've been asked many times "Why Ethena" and thought I'd share my personal views below. The TLDR is that $ENA is truly a generational asset that is worth, in our view, north of $0.70 today, multiples of where it trades currently. Key to our view is the belief that the tokenization of assets will drive $USDe adoption to $100 - $350 billion by 2030, leading Ethena to become one of the few crypto projects that reach multi-billion dollar annual revenue scale. Excited to partner with @gdog97_ and the rest of the Ethena team, and looking forward to sharing more as we get to closing.

@StaciW_DC on stage with Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton at @cfcstmoritz

I want 2026 to be the year of privacy on Algorand! To help reach that goal, I have three projects that I will be working on this year. All of them are in the early prototype stage thus not production ready, but they are all working! 1. Zero Knowledge Proofs. @giuliopizzini laid the groundwork with AlgoPlonk and I am working to make ZK development even more accessible to both users and developers. snarkjs-algorand includes smart contracts and client libraries for proving and verifying ZK proofs (groth16 and plonk) with seamless AlgoKit Utils integration that works in browser! github.com/joe-p/snarkjs-… 2. Stealth address support. Stealth address allow you to send someone assets without the receiver being public. Using the xHD key derivation scheme (24-word mnemonics) we can support stealth addresses without having to manage a bunch of secrets! github.com/joe-p/xHD-Stea… 3. Encrypted message support. There are various ways to achieve private messages on a blockchain and some devs in the ALGO ecosystem have working solutions. However, I think the best path forward is to adopt a standard that exists outside our ecosystem and industry. That is why I created a library that uses the existing HPKE encryption standard with Algorand's xHD key derivation scheme. github.com/joe-p/xHD-HPKE

Just the beginning! 🤝 🛠️

Algorand is officially back in the US 🇺🇸 Singapore to Delaware.
