Algorand leads Base and Solana in 30-day x402 USDC volume at $390.4K
Covered by 2 sources
USDC on Algorand recorded $390.4K in 30-day x402 agentic transfer volume, placing it ahead of Base at $378.3K and Solana at $360.5K over the same period, according to Token Terminal data.
Most of Algorand's volume fell within the final week of the measurement period, meaning the lead was driven by a recent surge in agentic transactions rather than a steady accumulation over the full 30 days.

Falcon-1024 live on Algorand MainNet since v5.0.0, post-quantum VRF candidate under analysis with paper due early 2027
The Algorand Foundation published a technical thread covering the status of its post-quantum work. Native PQ accounts are already live on MainNet. The current VRF, which handles committee selection in Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus, relies on elliptic-curve cryptography and is the next target. A post-quantum VRF candidate construction is under security and efficiency analysis, with a research paper expected in early 2027. After that, consensus signatures remain as the final piece of the post-quantum roadmap.
