20th September – The Algorand Foundation has announced the launch of Algoland, a 13-week gamified campaign designed to increase awareness, retail participation, and engagement across the Algorand blockchain ecosystem. The campaign officially begins on September 22, 2025.
The Algoland campaign transforms the existing Algorand ecosystem into a metaphorical “destination,” encouraging users to explore various decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi tools, and real-world integrations. Participation and rewards are tracked entirely on-chain, using Algorand’s native Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to ensure transparency and fairness.
The initiative is not a new blockchain or protocol fork. Rather, it repackages existing infrastructure to improve discoverability and encourage sustained usage.

The 13-week initiative is organized around weekly quests, referral incentives, learning modules, and ecosystem events. Participants can earn points through:
All rewards and progress are tracked on-chain. Winners are selected randomly through a verifiable process.
In an interview given to crypto.news, Marc Vanlerberghe, Head of Strategy and Marketing at Algorand, shared details about a new 13-week on-chain rewards campaign. The goal is simple: bring in experienced Web3 users and highlight what Algorand can do. Unlike other chains, Algorand avoids basic payouts. “We’re avoiding ‘do this transaction and get $5’ mechanics,” Vanlerberghe explained. “Those just attract farmers who move on once the rewards dry up.”
Instead, users earn points through a gamified system. These points, stored entirely on-chain, may lead to prizes. Even referrals and winner selection happen on-chain. “Our consensus uses a verifiable random function,” he said. “It’s lightweight, decentralized, and secure.”
Accessibility is another key point. “I run [a node] on a mini-PC. Anyone can do it,” Vanlerberghe noted. “That’s the ultimate proof of decentralization.”
He also stressed user experience. Transactions on Algorand are fast and reliable. “They finalize in under three seconds. They never fail, never roll back,” he said. This creates a smooth, Web2-like feel.
So why isn’t Algorand more visible? Vanlerberghe pointed to the company’s approach. “We never played the hype game,” he said. Instead, Algorand focused on building strong tech and attracting real users. Now, with this campaign, it plans to communicate more clearly and close the perception gap.
Rather than offering direct airdrops for isolated tasks, Algoland encourages deeper engagement:
Points earned during the campaign translate into entries for prize draws, reinforcing the value of sustained participation.
This campaign forms a core part of Algorand’s broader roadmap for Q4 2025 and beyond. Recent developments include:
Campaign visibility is also rising on social media. Influencers have hosted ALGO giveaways, and official posts have received thousands of engagements, a sign of growing momentum.
Real voices. Real reactions.
