Algorand Tech Roadmap 2026 AMA

In this highly anticipated AMA, host Michael Jordan (Algofamily) sits down with Marc vanlerberghe (Algorand Foundation CMO & CSO) and Bruno Martins (Acting CTO) to break down the newly released Algorand technical roadmap. The discussion covers Algorand’s bold focus on mainstream adoption, highlighting initiatives in digital identity (Rocca Wallet), tokenization of financial products, and agentic commerce, while staying true to the chain’s core values of decentralization and accessibility. Bruno dives into technical innovations such as the new KV storage method and explains how solutions like Intermezzo and Rocca Wallet lower barriers for businesses and users alike. Marc emphasizes Algorand’s pragmatic, standards-based approach — working with global protocols rather than reinventing them. The panel also touches on Project King Safety, aimed at making the protocol self-sustaining long term, and stresses the critical role of community input in shaping the roadmap. ⚠️ Note: The Twitter Space was rugged 8 minutes before the scheduled close. This episode includes a clean patch so you won’t miss the ending.

TVL is a poor metric for predicting Crypto returns

The Algorand Foundation’s data team probes a hot question: does total value locked really predict crypto returns?

Interoperability - NTT with Wormhole and Folks Finance

This week’s episode dives into one of the biggest launches in Algorand interoperability to date — the arrival of Wormhole NTT (Native Token Transfers) on Algorand. Hosted by Sarah-Maria from the Algorand Foundation, the Space features Benedetto from Folks Finance and Sushant from the Wormhole Foundation, with behind-the-scenes insights into the multichain future now being built. NTT lets tokens exist natively across chains — no bridges, no wrappers, no synthetic assets. Tokens like Folks Finance’s upcoming FOLKS token can now be deployed once and accessed across multiple chains with full fungibility. This means simpler UX for users, fewer trust assumptions, and composable liquidity between ecosystems. The team walks through how the integration was built, what dev tooling is coming next, and how real-world use cases (like tokenised funds or cross-chain DeFi) will benefit. With open-source SDKs, full audits in motion, and the NTT portal soon listing Algorand, the groundwork is set for seamless multichain access. Whether you’re a user, dev, or just NTT-curious, this episode breaks it all down.
