Algorand Foundation Grants Program

Algorand Foundation Grants Program is sponsored by Algorand Foundation. The Algorand Foundation offers grants to projects that help grow the Algorand ecosystem.

Built for what's next. Ready now. While others promise tomorrow, Algorand is ready with trusted infrastructure for agentic commerce, institutional-grade DeFi, and a clear path to quantum resilience today.

Are you ready? Our roadmap to broad quantum resilience by 2027 Algorand has been the leader in blockchain quantum resilience since implementing Falcon signatures in 2022 to safeguard the entire history of its chain against the potential threat of quantum computers. In 2025, we extended this further by executing the first quantum‑resistant transaction on Mainnet using Falcon signatures.

But we aren't stopping there. See our path to achieving broad quantum resilience by 2027. The future of commerce won't be executed by humans alone.

AI agents will discover services, negotiate terms, and complete transactions independently. Algorand's fast, reliable, and low-cost settlement infrastructure gives agents the ability to transact in real time and keep workflows moving without interruption. DeFi works better on Algorand DeFi needs infrastructure that just works.

Algorand delivers instant settlement, atomic execution, and predictable outcomes, so you can ship real financial applications — not patch around limitations. The premier blockchain for RWA tokenization Many blockchains support tokens, but few can support the rigors of institutional finance. Ready to bring real-world assets on-chain?

Algorand delivers the performance, security, and efficiency needed to tokenize bonds, equities, funds, real estate, and structured products at scale. A better way to deliver aid payments Humanitarian aid payments are often slow, opaque, and costly to administer, especially in regions with limited banking infrastructure.

Algorand enables a new model: fast, low-cost, and fully traceable digital payments built on blockchain, connecting donors, NGOs, and beneficiaries through transparent payment rails.

Algorand enables a new model: fast, low-cost, and fully traceable digital payments built on blockchain, connecting donors, NGOs, and beneficiaries through transparent payment rails. Leading on post-quantum technology Algorand has been leading in blockchain quantum resilience since 2022.

By implementing NIST-selected Falcon signatures, Algorand already safeguards the entire history of its chain against the future threat of quantum computers. In 2025, we further extended PQ readiness by executing the first quantum‑resistant transactions on mainnet. This expanded the network's PQ protections to real digital assets on a live public blockchain.

And now, we have announced our roadmap to target broad quantum resilience by the end of 2027 – including native PQ accounts with related SDK and developer tooling support; PQ multisig for institutions, treasuries, and high-value operations; and research into PQ-resilient VRF and signatures for consensus messaging. The first milestones from this roadmap begin in Q3 2026.

v=qZtni5WU3qk"> WATCH: a deep dive into Algorand's quantum roadmap Listen in as Algorand leaders present the path toward achieving broad quantum-resilience for the network by 2027. / Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer, Marc Vanlerberghe / Chief Scientific Officer, Chris Peikert Join the Global x402 Challenge Turn your API endpoint into a pay-per-request service and compete for your share of $100K USD + 500K ALGO prize pools.

The challenge officially opens in mid-July with volume measured over unannounced windows in October. Everything you need in Layer-1 The Algorand blockchain has everything you need to build and scale dApps directly on Layer-1. It’s powered by Pure Proof-of-Stake for secure, efficient consensus and the Algorand Virtual Machine (AVM) for trustless, reliable smart contract execution.

Ready for even the most demanding use cases. Powerful native primitives 10,000+ transactions per second Pure Proof-of-Stake relies on randomness, eliminating the need for complex competition among network validators and enabling Algorand to handle high transaction volume without compromising on speed or security. Discover scalability that's ready to match your ambition.

No rollbacks + no partitioning = no uncertainty. One of Algorand's most powerful properties is instant finality, meaning transactions are confirmed immediately and never rolled back. In practice, over 10,000 transactions per second can be finalized the moment they enter a block.

The result: the state of the ledger and every account is always clear. Ready for certainty? You're ready for instant finality.

0 downtime in 7 years (and counting) When billions of dollars, critical applications, and real-world assets are on the line, reliability matters. Algorand has delivered uninterrupted network availability since launch, with zero downtime in more than seven years of operation. Always on.

Ready when you are. Algorand is designed to make staking simple and accessible — anyone with as little as 1 Algo can participate and help keep the network secure. Its Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus enables broad network participation, helping prevent concentration of power while strengthening resilience.

The result is a blockchain that remains decentralized as it grows. Resilient by design. Ready for everyone.

See Algorand network data -> Secure by design. Leading on quantum. Security starts at the protocol level.

Algorand's Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus uses cryptographic sortition to randomly select validators, making it extraordinarily difficult for any single actor to influence the network. Algorand has also led the industry in blockchain quantum resilience since 2022, and in June 2026, revealed a clear roadmap to broad quantum resilience by 2027. Secure today.

Ready for tomorrow. Many blockchains require developers to recreate common functionality in smart contracts, adding complexity, cost, and risk. Algorand provides powerful capabilities — like atomic transfers, whitelisting, role-based access control (RBAC), asset freeze and revoke, and more — directly at the protocol layer, helping developers build faster, write less code, and reduce potential vulnerabilities.

Less code. More possibilities. Ready to build.
