According to ME News, on November 6 (UTC+8), the Algorand Foundation announced on Twitter that it is indefinitely pausing the "Project King Safety" roadmap. Plans previously discussed—including removing the ALGO supply cap (to provide incentives via inflation), enabling and capturing MEV, and increasing the minimum transaction fee—are no longer under consideration. However, the commitment to extend staking rewards until January 2028 remains unchanged. The Foundation noted that new usage-based fees, such as those for post-quantum account signature transactions like Falcon-1024, may still be introduced or adjusted.
In addition, the Algorand Foundation will indefinitely suspend the xGov grant program effective December 6, shut down the Algorand forum (retaining it as a read-only archive) on November 6, disband the Ecosystem Advisory Committee (EAC) operated by the company, and terminate sponsorship of the Algorand Technical Committee (ATC). The Foundation stated that the new management team will focus on building a sustainable, revenue-generating network model, with the next priority being to extend its post-quantum security capabilities to the broader Web3 and digital assets ecosystem for use by custodians, wallets, issuers, and other networks.
