Time To Finality (TTF) is IMO one of the most relevant metrics when comparing real settlement speed across blockchains. And it's honestly hard to do much better than @Algorand (along with a few others), because its finality is instant! A transaction isn't truly settled until it's final, irreversible, and no longer exposed to rollback or fork uncertainty. Actually, very fast block times mean little if you still need to wait multiple rounds, extra confirmations, or sometimes even minutes to hours before being sure your transaction is actually final! Once a transaction is added to a block on $ALGO, it's immediately confirmed and irreversible. No rollback risk, no fork uncertainty, no waiting around wondering if it's really settled. That's maybe not always obvious in web3, but for so many real world use cases, it really matters! 🫡

Ergo more quantum-resilient 🔥 ✅ergoforum.org/t/eip-0045-nat… ✅github.com/ergoplatform/e… #Ergo $ERG

"If quantum computers start breaking cryptography a few years from now, don't you dare come to this blog and tell me that I failed to warn you. This post is your warning." Newly elected member of the US National Academy of Sciences and quantum computing professor Scott Aaronson, writing on his blog today. Google and Coinbase, amongst many others, have recognised Algorand's leading post-quantum work. Our Chief Scientific Officer @ChrisPeikert helped create Falcon, a cryptographic algorithm selected by NIST as a global standard for quantum resistance, which we run in production on Algorand today. Quantum-secure chain history since 2022. Quantum-secure transactions and accounts since 2025. We heard the warning years ago.

@chainspect_app @Algorand @algodevs We’re cooking!

"Crypto" got co-opted by banksters due to inability to pave the way for trust-minimized monetary expansion on top of trust-minimized digital commodities. Ergo has no any competition here.

Raffle v2 Designed direct bitcoin payment for ergo raffle. The implementation for btc-payment service is in progress. The basic structure is implemented. Redesigned action proxy contracts to have a unique proxy address for each action. The required data is encoded in proxy box registers. Rosen-bridge/rosen-sdk evm chains integrated into rosen-sdk and the PR is under review The latest network to integrate is bitcoin-runes, which is currently under development. Rosen-bridge/rosen-service Now we support bitcoin-runes in the new rose-service structure. New rosen-service implementation is completed and will be used after passing the test stages. Rosen-bridge/utils Added a new class to rwt-repo package to read and manage data from repo-config box., Rosen-bridge/watcher-service-v2 Working on permit transaction package. Its responsible for generating lock and unlock transactions.

Ergo node 6.0.3 candidate release finalized and under re view, please help with reviewing and testing github.com/ergoplatform/e…

Excited to see @PeraAlgoWallet go live with XO Swap integration. Users can now move assets from other chains into @Algorand in one flow. No manual bridging. No juggling tools. We tokenized @Exodus on Algorand because we believed in the ecosystem. Partnerships like this reinforce why: simplifying how value actually moves, removing unnecessary steps.

Latest @RosenBridge_erg - initial investigation of Base integration - ongoing development of on chain token map - working on test env in general and for handshake and firo especially - planning with how to move forward with handshake merges and tests - a lot of small tasks for event detail page, back and ui - old and continuous task, building a better watcher service, v2

Rosen Runes+ can move any asset supported into and out of Bitcoin L1. All while protecting supply integrity and openly giving proof of no rehypothecation. It implements some nice properties simultaneously: - Fully on-chain visible and indexer-friendly (like plain Runes/Omni). - Natively multi-chain with 1:1 locked backing and an open source distributed security model. - Continuously, redundantly, and openly auditable in real time (stronger than RGB/Taproot Assets proofs).

We are live. A lot yet to build on top of the core protocol but today is a big win.

docs.rosen.tech/rosen/r-and-d/… Still should wait for full-chain membership proofs it seems, but basic foundation is there. It’s funny to imagine we can bridge Monero to Bitcoin.

Wrapped Runes Wrapped Assets on Bitcoin Runes+

Runes+ was started built and designed on Bitcoin Core v29. It is a lightweight extension that stamps a pre existing cross chain standard of bridge related metadata onto Bitcoin. This allows any Rosen supported asset to move into and out of the Bitcoin network as a Rune. The Runes protocol is just a token standard. A building block. Runes can now represent L1 coins, stablecoins, and tokens from other ecosystems. All backed by Rosen.Tech security.

A momentous milestone for the team and for the crypto/blockchain community. Congratulations!

Runes+ is a meta protocol built on top of the Runes fungible token protocol. This is on Bitcoin L1. Stablecoins, L1 Coins, and Native Assets. Bitcoin L1 is the most computationally secure network on the planet. Plus existing runes on BTC can connect to every system we are built into, in every direction. This is all viable through the open source Rosen Bridge transfer protocol. We chose to expand the utility of Runes because it is minimalist in terms of data, and pretty much follows how the UTXO system there already works. Bitcoin maximalists can direct complaints to major exchanges as we tried to work with them for years but they are to busy running digital zoo's and selling insider dominated assets to the public. So we did what we do... Write code. Please consider running it.

With runes+ we have a transparent extension of this framework for wrapped assets on BTC L1. The goals with Rosen are simple. Provide a transparent security model and live proof of no rehypothecation. Our goal is not just proof of reserves, this is proof of solvency. Also proof that supply integrity is being protected, not being manipulated and kept fully backed. This is a better proof than most institutional products today provide as they are generally cannot even be audited. Rosen is a unified framework so all chains capable can support all assets in all directions. You can bridge a native asset or a wrapped asset to any environment that supports native assets.
