Since the Solana trolls seemed to think it's a good idea to troll me, here's a nugget of truth: Algorand is BETTER than Solana. It's not even close. Algorand is fast, cheap, and reliable. I can write this as a person that uses both chains and have built on both chains.

Yes at one point I was very critical regarding the state of things on Algorand. Yes, I changed my mind. No, no one is paying me for this. Life happens, I was designing a protocol with my team, where we started to really like the possibilities on Algorand.

I have always been really enthusiastic about Algorand (the blockchain, not the token). I really like the tech and am somewhat of a maxi... not totally, but let's say, I REALLY like the tech. Building on Algorand, only enforced my opinions.

Regardless of pr partnerships, what sets Algorand apart is the great tech. This should really be always the number 1 statement about it. Great network, which is very reliable, very stress-tested, has run well for years, with a great development company, Algorand Inc, behind it.

I have recently read that no major CEX now supports USDCa. I don't know if this is true, since I haven't done the research personally. If it is, then #GlitterFinance , which connects USDCa to 5 other major networks, is a key piece of infrastructure for Algorand's liquidity.

I think it's a huge pro for the Algorand community that people that get grants sometimes criticize the ecosystem. At worst, it allows anger to express itself, which is not unhealthy. At best, it leads to a very 'on' community which functions very well and is aware.

Glitter is not the only place to move USDCa crosschain, easily. It's possible to do this via Binance and MEXC. You can also directly interact with Circle and their internal bridge. However, Glitter is the easiest way to work with USDCa permissionlessly, at the moment.
