Appia / Pontes Participants List--European Central Bank DLT
Some loose connections with Silvio/Algorand on here mostly via Italian tech incubators...no idea if any of this is ongoing

--21X...Micali and 21X CEO Ralf Wandmacher appeared at the same 2026 digital-finance conference: Wandmacher on a European digital-assets panel immediately before Micali's keynote, “Fiat Chain.”
--NEXI/SIA...connected through the Italian digital guarantees platform
--Italian Banking Assoc. (ABI) and CDP...CDP Venture Capital partnered directly with Algorand as a technical/expertise partner in its Frontech accelerator. Algorand’s 2024 transparency report explicitly identifies CDP Ventures as a partner. At the Bank of Italy's 2022 Milano Hub event, Micali was a panelist alongside CDP Venture Capital CEO Enrico Resmini, with remarks from ABI President Antonio Patuelli

Since we are throwing around numbers... see chart for the price of ALGO by 2030. It will be around $6-7 conservatively.
AIMeter — an ultra-fast, local-first LLM API cost & token tracker for macOS
With every company struggling to cap AI cost budgets, as a developer I found it equally hard to keep track of my own API usage costs when coding with Cursor, Claude Code, or local scripts.
So I built AIMeter — an ultra-fast, local-first LLM API cost & token tracker for macOS. It transparently monitors your spend in a native menu bar widget and dashboard with zero latency overhead, keeping your prompts and keys 100% #private.
Open-source and installable in seconds via #DMG or #Homebrew!
Algorand's consensus upgrade has passed 75% support!
It needs 90% to activate!
What's almost here:
• Native post-quantum accounts
• Larger smart contracts
• Fees that price what a transaction contains
Node runners, upgrading to v5.0.0 is how you vote it in ⌛

Algorand (ALGO): Emerging Golden Breakout | Mapping the 11x Bull Peak
Algorand ($ALGO) is currently positioned in the Accumulation zone on our Outer Crypto Galaxy Matrix, trading near $0.08 despite a 30% drawdown over the trailing 90 days. Sourcing our lifetime Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) baseline, $ALGO is currently trading at an 81% market discount relative to its historical cost basis (approaching the 85% discount bottom recorded during the 2022 bear market). This pulls its TWAP Gravity Risk score down to 0.8 out of 100 (Risk Level 1).
On our structural regression charts, $ALGO remains bounded within its $0.06 to $0.09 bear market accumulation corridor. Sourcing our predictive time-series net computing frameworks (seasonal ARMA algorithms), 10-week forecasting models project a non-panic bear support floor slightly under $0.06, an intermediate support level at $0.065, and a counter-trend relief ceiling near $0.10. With the standard 400-day bear market capitulation clock now over 75% complete, rolling regression models into the 2030 expansion window maps out a base cycle peak target of $0.66 (~8.5x multiplier from spot) and a stretch goal scaling to an 11x multiple.
Meld Gold ASA 246516580
Does anyone have some info about Meld Gold? The token value seems depegged.
Make or break for Algo in the next 3 days and 22 hours.
From a technical standpoint, the next 3 days and 22 hours are an incredibly important.
If we can maintain our support at $0.08108, we will be setting up for a double bottom with positive momentum on the RSI. This is exactly what fuels a reversal, especially at all time lows.
If we lose our support at $0.08108, the bad (news and good news if you have sideline funds) is we will be entering into no man’s land. Who knows how low algo can go.
I’m not posting this as a pro or a con for the asset, I am posting the technicals.
I have been in the crypto space since 2016 and my game is buying the floor, holding for a few years, sell a little bit at the top for lifestyle, and then wait for the bottoms again to repeat.
It’s safe to say, if we have a weekly confirmation double bottom, I will be buying a massive chunk of Algo.
It’s also safe to say, if we lose support, I will be waiting for a much larger discount.
Algo’s tech is 💣 it’s a winner even if it doesn’t seem like it now. Sure, my job is to find value wherever it is from a technical standpoint, but it is of my opinion that Algo is a banger.
Cheers 🍻

i tried out pera wallet 7.0. Have you?
The new version offers a much better user experience. Larger buttons make navigation and overall usage more intuitive and convenient.
x402 to make the internet less annoying
I’ve been thinking about x402 from the consumer side - and it seems to a capability that could solve an annoying problem I face on a daily basis. I have nearly 300 accounts, 16 monthly subscriptions to various information sources, and I still often run into a pay walled news articles, reviews, or need to sign up for a new streaming service to binge 1 new season of a show.
I’d much prefer engaging with an agent to say something like -
“Play that The Office episode where Kevin spills the bowl of chili and purchase it under $1.”
Or “Show me the Consumer Reports review for this refrigerator.”
Or “Give me the best reporting across major news outlets on this story - $1 budget.”
Or “Tell me whether this used car is a good buy. Spend up to $3 checking it.”
This also separates payment from identity so a win for privacy (although interesting implications for businesses that generate revenue on user data - that probably gets priced into the micro transactions).
I’m not a dev. What role does/could Algorand play in solving this via 402 or any other means?

decrypt.coAF NEEDS TO STOP SELLING ALGO
THE ALGORAND FOUNDATION NEEDS TO STOP SELLING ALGO TO FUND ITS OPERATIONS,
its actually kind of ridiculous at this point , the vesting ended couple years ago, and since then the algorand foundation has made it worse by selling millions of algo on the open market to fund its operations, at some point they have to give a crap about price action. right.?
AF Selling Bad?
The narrative of “AF selling is bad” is an issue. Its been designed this way so people need not be surprised. Im have the opinion that they have dramatically improved Algorands name in conversation and marketing. The ones complaining about AF selling are just looking for a quick flip or are ill informed on the overall picture.
