Algorand suspends xGov program, no longer considering lifting ALGO supply cap

Nov. 6: The Algorand Foundation said in a community update on X that under new leadership, Algorand will focus on building a sustainable, revenue-generating network model and is committed to providing post-quantum security capabilities to the broader Web3 and digital asset ecosystem. The Foundation decided to indefinitely suspend the xGov grant program starting Dec. 6; the Algorand forum closed on Nov. 6 and is being provided as a read-only archive, while the Ecosystem Advisory Committee (EAC) is being ended and sponsorship of the Algorand Technical Committee (ATC) is being stopped. The Foundation has also indefinitely suspended the Project King Safety roadmap; previously discussed plans such as lifting the ALGO supply cap (inflationary incentives), enabling and capturing MEV, and raising the minimum transaction fee are all no longer under consideration, though the previously committed extension of staking rewards to January 2028 remains unchanged; usage-based transaction fees (such as Falcon-1024 post-quantum account signature transactions) may still be introduced or adjusted.
