Update your nodes to v5.0.3

Please update your nodes to v5.0.3 as soon as possible. Release notes are available at https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand/releases/tag/v5.0.3-stable. 

This patch fixes an issue with DNSSEC validation that prevents nodes from bootstrapping into the network when started or restarted. The issue affects all types of nodes.

Nodes that are currently connected to the network are functioning properly, but a new start or restart with versions less than 5.0.3 will not be able to validate DNSSEC signatures, which are required by default. This would result in the node being unable to connect to the network.

If you have any questions about upgrading your nodes, please reach out to us in the node-runners channel of the Algorand Discord server.

We built a free project directory for Algorand- a home for everything being built in the ecosystem

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we've gotten about Sprout is that crowdfunding, on its own, is a one-shot process: you launch a campaign, it succeeds or fails, and then there’s no real reason to hang around. A few builders pointed out that what the ecosystem might actually need isn’t just a funding tool, but a persistent environment where projects can be discovered and followed, whether or not they’re raising money right now. That resonates with our vision for Sprout, so we built it.

Sprout now has a free project directory. Any Algorand project can list itself at no cost. You don’t need to run a campaign to be there. The idea is simple: give people one place to come and see what’s actually being built on Algorand, and give builders a way to be visible even when they’re not raising funds. Crowdfunding is still there when a project needs it, but it’s now one feature of a broader home for the ecosystem rather than the whole point.

The big reason we're doing this is that there are genuinely good projects being built on Algorand that almost nobody hears about. They ship into silence. A directory won’t fix that overnight, but it’s a start. I hope the community embraces this as a shared, no-barrier environment to surface the work of our excellent builders and let the community find the projects worth following. If being discovered leads some of them to eventually run a campaign, great! If it just means a good project gets a few more eyes, that’s a win too.

If you’re building on Algorand at any stage, campaign or no campaign, we would genuinely love to have you listed. And if you want to help, just come browse what’s there and share the projects that catch your eye. The whole thing only works if the community actually uses it. Happy to answer any questions below.

Post quantum hashing Docusign

The new CEO talks about delivering post quantum security as a product to sell to the private industry, it has me thinking . I looked at companies that this could be beneficial for and thought about DocuSign. A company that stores documents and creates e signatures that need to stand the test of time so I built post-quantum signed proofs for DocuSign envelopes, anchored on Algorand mainnet

I've been built a PQ Verifiable Archive, a small open-source service that gives a signed document a proof anyone can check independently, decades from now, without trusting a middleman

**What it does**

  1. A DocuSign envelope is completed. DocuSign Connect sends a webhook (HMAC-verified).

  2. The service downloads the final PDF, archives that exact copy, and takes its SHA-256 hash.

  3. It anchors the hash in an Algorand mainnet transaction. Finality is a few seconds and the fee is ~0.001 ALGO.

  4. It issues a proof bundle signed with ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS-204, post-quantum).

  5. Anyone can verify it in the browser or with an open-source offline CLI. Change one byte of the PDF and verification fails. A backdated capture time also fails.

The time from envelope completion to anchored proof was 23–26 seconds.

**What it doesn't claim**

The Algorand transaction is signed with Ed25519, so that part isn't post-quantum. The post-quantum guarantee comes from the ML-DSA-65 signature on the bundle. I don't verify Algorand state proofs yet.

**Try it (free, no wallet or account needed)**

- Sign a real DocuSign sandbox envelope and watch the proof get created: https://pq-verifiable-archive.vercel.app/try

- Example of a completed, verified envelope: https://pq-verifiable-archive.vercel.app/d/iblWu6Og5jJy2oFXCxsXhEAEUOb3WCc55SFZlOLKgCY

- Its anchor transaction on mainnet: https://allo.info/tx/VSQLJMHAWDPMI66MWBXGJ5RFBA3VVPH5F7IMBU3CKMARCT223FUA

**Code and write-ups**

- GitHub (code, offline verifier CLI, roadmap): https://github.com/m-reynaldo35/pq-verifiable-archive

- Step-by-step live test write-up: https://github.com/m-reynaldo35/pq-verifiable-archive/blob/main/docs/live-tests.md

- My idea post on the DocuSign community: https://community.docusign.com/ideas/i-ve-been-building-a-post-quantum-hashing-certificates-for-docusign-envelopes-using-algorand-27810

I'd really value feedback from Algorand devs, especially on verifying state proofs, alternatives to the note-field anchoring,

Our discovery surface just got an upgrade! 🥳

Because humans are equally interested in "windowshopping" as agents right now, I've just overhauled the UI + UX of my websites "Browse"-section.

It is more userfriendly, surfaces more data and is more responsive now.

Perfect for casually clicking yourself through the whole x402 directory from your phone or PC. Over 110.000 endpoints, at your fingertips 😃

All for free, of course!

Go give it a try, you can start with provider, network, price or grading!

Just click "Browse" in the header and start exploring from there! ⬆️

Edit: typo
