Project Overview
Algorand is a decentralized, scalable, and secure blockchain infrastructure. It offers transaction throughputs at the speed of traditional finance, with immediate finality, near zero transaction costs, and 24/7 availability. From decentralized finance to generative NFT art, Algorand is powering the economic models of the future. Algorand was designed by MIT professor and Turing Award-winning cryptographer Silvio Micali.
GoPlus: Realio Platform Signing Key Compromised, Approximately 127.9 Million RIO Tokens Transferred
GoPlus Security released a security alert stating that on August 25, realio[.]fund, a project under Realio Network, was attacked. The attacker took control of the platform's signing system and moved treasury and custody wallet assets across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Algorand, Stellar, and the Realio native chain. A total of approximately 127.9 million RIO tokens worth around $6.2 million were affected, with the attacker having cashed out approximately $317,000 so far.
StarkWare Releases Starknet Quantum Resistance Roadmap
zero-knowledge scaling company StarkWare has released a Starknet quantum resistance roadmap, stating that the roadmap is divided into three phases to address the risk of future quantum computing attacks. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated that Starknet can leverage its architectural advantages to achieve quantum resistance, as its underlying cryptography is based on zero-knowledge STARK proofs. According to reports, the first phase of the roadmap includes replacing part of the existing secure mathematical mechanism, Pedersen hash, with a quantum-resistant version, and adding quantum-resistant signatures; the second phase focuses on migration tools, upgrading existing smart contracts without requiring developers to manually rebuild applications; the third phase involves dependencies that Starknet cannot solve alone, primarily relying on Ethereum's quantum upgrade roadmap. Circle, Ethereum, Solana, Tezos, and Algorand have all proposed quantum resistance roadmaps. (Cointelegraph)
Algorand Appoints Former Chainlink Executive William Herkelrath as New CEO
According to CoinDesk, the Algorand Foundation has officially appointed William Herkelrath as chief executive officer, succeeding Staci Warden, who served for nearly five years. Herkelrath previously held leadership roles at blockchain data provider Chainlink and crypto custody firm Curv, and co-founded the AI automation platform K3 Labs. He officially assumed office on August 31. The Algorand Foundation stated that the new CEO will focus on driving institutional business expansion and post-quantum security initiatives. To date, Algorand has introduced post-quantum accounts based on the Falcon-1024 lattice-based signature system through its v42 consensus upgrade, with plans to achieve full quantum resistance prior to 2028. Additionally, the foundation’s board is undergoing concurrent adjustments, with Alex Fowler joining while Rebecca Rettig and Michael Mosier depart.

Binance Adjusts Collateral Rates for Multiple Assets and Updates Futures Leverage & Margin Tiers
Odaily Odaily News, according to an official announcement, Binance will update the collateral rate and tiered collateral rate for Portfolio Margin and PMPro at 2026-07-24 06:00 UTC (14:00 Beijing time). The affected assets include ALGO, PUMP, WLD, JTO, TRUMP, etc. In addition, Binance Futures will adjust the leverage and margin tiers for several USDⓈ-M perpetual contracts at 06:30 UTC (14:30 Beijing time) on the same day. The contracts include C98USDT, CHRUSDT, LQTYUSDT, NILUSDT, USUALUSDT, SPELLUSDT, ONEUSDT, AEVOUSDT, CGPTUSDT, BANKUSDT, GUNUSDT, LAUSDT, OPNUSDT, KATUSDT, STARUSDT, and ZILUSDT. The announcement reminds users that changes in collateral rates may affect the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (uniMMR) and could lead to a risk of position liquidation.

Algorand Releases Quantum-Resistant Upgrade Roadmap, Aiming for Full-Chain Quantum Security by 2027–2028
: The Algorand Foundation has released a quantum-resistant upgrade roadmap, planning to initiate a series of protocol upgrades in 2026 and achieve the network's overall "quantum security" capability by the end of 2027 to 2028, in response to the potential threat that future quantum computing poses to existing cryptographic systems. The roadmap shows that the first phase will introduce a post-quantum account system, multi-signature wallets, and staking support, followed by a gradual upgrade of core protocol components to achieve a comprehensive cryptographic migration from the wallet layer to the infrastructure. It is reported that multiple public blockchain ecosystems, including the Ethereum Foundation and Solana, have also initiated similar research into post-quantum cryptography and migration planning.

Algorand Releases Post-Quantum Upgrade Roadmap, Aiming for Full-Chain Quantum Security by 2027–2028
The Algorand Foundation has officially released its post-quantum upgrade roadmap, planning to initiate a series of protocol modifications in 2026 and achieve full “quantum-resilient” capability across the network by the end of 2027 through 2028—addressing potential future threats posed by quantum computing to existing cryptographic systems. According to the roadmap, Phase I will introduce a post-quantum account system, multi-signature wallets, and staking support; subsequent phases will progressively upgrade core protocol components, enabling comprehensive cryptographic migration—from wallet layers to infrastructure. It is reported that several other public-chain ecosystems—including the Ethereum Foundation and Solana—have also launched similar research and migration initiatives for post-quantum cryptography.
