The point you made about agentic development mostly involving reading code rather than writing it really resonates with me. Supervising an LLM simply doesn’t lead to the flow state that results from building your mental model for a solution and then writing it yourself. It’s just not fun as a craft.

Excited to join @cgdev.org for this panel tomorrow to talk stablecoins in the context of development—one of the most resonant use cases for digital assets. Have a listen!

Algorand is now integrated with coinify for USDC payments and settlements. Pay with USDC at checkout through Coinify, and merchants can receive settlements in USDC even when customers pay with other supported cryptocurrencies. Coinify processes more than $140m a year for over 60,000 merchants.

Algorand and Noah_HQ are partnering to bring regulated, institutional-grade payments on-chain. Through this integration, Algorand developers gain access to Noah’s regulated payment infrastructure.

What was slow is now fast. What was hard is now easy. What was risky is now mature. What was unregulated is now regulated. Blockchain is all grown up and powering the future of finance with stablecoins, digital assets, and programmability. If you’re not paying attention, you’re being lapped.

If you’ve ever tried building on Algorand before and found it painful, now’s the time to take another look. If you’ve used—or avoided!—Solidity, Move, or Rust to build on other blockchains, you should see how fast you can build secure dapps on Algorand with TypeScript.

Now, Algorand TypeScript levels up the blockchain part of decentralized application development to the experience TypeScript devs expect. You can write smart contracts with a world-class language, with all the same testing, linting, bundling, and package management tools you use every day.

SilentRhetoric @silentrhetoric.bsky.social · 16/11/2025
I understood the need for low-level correctness and security when writing smart contracts, but the tools to write, compile, and test you code interrupted your flow more than they helped.

I’ve personally been wanting this TypeScript smart contract framework for years as an app developer. When I started building blockchain-enabled apps a few years ago, the developer experience was affectionately described as “chewing glass.”

The Directory has been updated to leverage @nfdomains.algo.xyz's verification services. Fields that have been verified are shown with a ✔︎ and converted to links. Listers should make use of these verifications to help mitigate the risk that people are scammed by lookalike impersonation accounts.
