Trust in agentic commerce: The problem that could derail an industry

Author: Marc Vanlerberghe, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer, Algorand Foundation.

Agentic commerce promises a future where AI agents can shop, negotiate, and manage finances on our behalf—but without verifiable identity, permissions, and provenance, a critical trust gap could derail the industry. Get the full report to discover how open standards and cryptographic trust could make autonomous commerce safer and more accountable.

Everything you need in Layer-1

The Algorand blockchain has everything you need to build and scale dApps directly on Layer-1. It’s powered by Pure Proof-of-Stake for secure, efficient consensus and the Algorand Virtual Machine (AVM) for trustless, reliable smart contract execution. Ready for even the most demanding use cases.

10,000+ transactions per second

Pure Proof-of-Stake relies on randomness, eliminating the need for complex competition among network validators and enabling Algorand to handle high transaction volume without compromising on speed or security.

Discover scalability that's ready to match your ambition.

Instant finality

No rollbacks + no partitioning = no uncertainty.

One of Algorand's most powerful properties is instant finality, meaning transactions are confirmed immediately and never rolled back. In practice, over 10,000 transactions per second can be finalized the moment they enter a block. The result: the state of the ledger and every account is always clear.

Ready for certainty? You're ready for instant finality.

0 downtime in 7 years (and counting)

When billions of dollars, critical applications, and real-world assets are on the line, reliability matters. Algorand has delivered uninterrupted network availability since launch, with zero downtime in more than seven years of operation.

Always on. Ready when you are.

True decentralization

Algorand is designed to make staking simple and accessible — anyone with as little as 1 Algo can participate and help keep the network secure. Its Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus enables broad network participation, helping prevent concentration of power while strengthening resilience.

The result is a blockchain that remains decentralized as it grows.

Resilient by design. Ready for everyone.

Secure by design. Leading on quantum.

Security starts at the protocol level. Algorand's Pure Proof-of-Stake consensus uses cryptographic sortition to randomly select validators, making it extraordinarily difficult for any single actor to influence the network.

Algorand has also led the industry in blockchain quantum resilience since 2022, and in June 2026, revealed a clear roadmap to broad quantum resilience by 2027.

Secure today. Ready for tomorrow.

Read the PQ roadmap ->

Built-in, not bolted on.

Many blockchains require developers to recreate common functionality in smart contracts, adding complexity, cost, and risk.

Algorand provides powerful capabilities — like atomic transfers, whitelisting, role-based access control (RBAC), asset freeze and revoke, and more — directly at the protocol layer, helping developers build faster, write less code, and reduce potential vulnerabilities.

Less code. More possibilities. Ready to build.
