We are excited to announce that the Top 10 finalists for the Global x402 Challenge have just been made public. Each participant will now have the opportunity to present their project as they vie for one of the 5 remaining prizes drawn from the 100K USDC prize pool.
When a 10-year bond is issued on-chain right now, its safety must be guaranteed all the way through 2036. This extended timeframe highlights exactly why implementing post-quantum security is an urgent priority today rather than a distant goal. Sharing insights on @FINTECHTVglobal, our CCO @AmarOdedra detailed the reasons Algorand has been actively getting ready for the quantum era since 2022. 👇
We are thrilled to present the 20 highest-ranking contenders on the Global x402 Challenge leaderboard.
Sharing an incredible reward pool of 500,000 ALGO, these top 20 projects earned their positions based entirely on their total volume. To maintain the integrity of the competition, any volume identified as synthetic was deliberately excluded from the current standings. Additionally, please be aware that the USDC prizes are being determined through a completely separate judging process.
A heartfelt congratulations goes out to all 20 teams for their phenomenal efforts and success.
