· 2026-08-25T14:00:20+00:00Handing your AI agent your credentials is like giving a contractor a copy of your house key. Convenient, until it ends up somewhere it shouldn't.

· 2026-08-25T00:08:54+00:00My bad… I should’ve posted this earlier. My last day at the Algorand Foundation was Friday. Wild timing. Didn’t expect it to line up perfectly with the biggest protocol upgrade of all time. Things got hectic. Then I burned down my entire weekend trying to ship VibeKit 1.0

· 2026-08-25T11:20:05+00:00Algorand > Solana. Bringing up this old graphic to show that “65k TPS capability” is pure garbage marketing fluff. Toly and none of the Solana dev rel team (beautiful people btw, great folks, I’d chill with them any day) have been able to list TPS for various transaction types.
AI visual analysis: A bar chart titled "DeFi AMM swaps per second" compares transaction speeds across eight blockchains, showing ALGO leading dramatically at 2,881.38 swaps/sec versus SOL at 273.34, BSC at 194.61, MATIC at 47.67, AVAX at 31.65, CELO at 24.93, ETH at 9.19, and BTC at 0. The graphic, sourced from algoscan.app, is used to support the claim that Solana's marketed 65k TPS figure is misleading, as real-world DeFi swap performance on Algorand vastly outperforms Solana.
· 2026-08-25T17:46:27+00:00ALGORAND HAS BEEN COOKING! Agentic commerce is still incredibly early, and there's no doubt adoption is going to be absolutely massive over the coming years.

· 2026-08-25T16:22:42+00:00Fantastic job folks. This is hugely strategically important for Algorand. Agentic control is critical and no one is doing it right. Really innovative - if you can own this vertical it would be so valuable.
· 2026-08-25T18:00:03+00:00Everything in Algorand 5.0 got fatter except the bill. Apps double to 16 KB. App arguments go from 2 KB to 16 KB. A LogicSig that needed 16 grouped transactions now fits in one. Anything you could do before still costs exactly what it did. @SilentRhetoric serves part 2

· 2026-08-25T18:30:08+00:00I can’t speak for Stellar but Algorand has native token assets. Tokens are actually tokens, not smart contracts. On some chains you interact with a “token” that’s not actually a token, but a malicious smart contract that steals your funds. No risk of this type of interaction
