Algorand Foundation releases LiquidAuth, a decentralized protocol for wallet authentication

The Algorand Foundation released LiquidAuth, an open-source protocol that decentralizes communication between wallets and centralized authentication services, with the stated goal of reducing security risks across the ecosystem.

LiquidAuth operates as a protocol layer, meaning it sits between wallets and authentication providers so that neither side depends on a single centralized point of failure for credential verification.
