Update 18
Bug fixA small release, mostly behind the scenes.
Update 17
FeatureA new Broadcast on the Broadcast Deck: Over the Air, in which the Colony Intelligence covers node 5.0.5 and the consensus upgrade vote it carries.
Update 16
Under the hoodA small release of work behind the scenes on the colony.
Update 15
FeaturePartly for testersA new broadcast on the Broadcast Deck, Jump Gate. Inside the colony cabin the colony outside is no longer drawn, and a few apps carry truer names.
Update 14
FeaturePartly for testersThe Nodely Jump Gate now stands on its shard past the rim, sending a drone through for each paid call to Nodely's x402 gateway. Two new Broadcasts, Deep Scan and Rollback, are on the Broadcast Deck.
Update 13
FeatureThe colony now keeps an Update log, one click from Settings. Ask the Colony AI about a broadcast and it can give you a button that plays it on the Broadcast Deck from the right moment. A stray hab pod is also cleared from the Commerce Ring, and Mission Control misses fewer of the chain's rare happenings.
Update 12
MixedPartly for testersThe training hologram finds its voice: its first three episodes are now spoken aloud. The stations are back on the colony map and their trends are measured against a full average again, Mission Control again reports the chain's rare happenings, and the day's tour frames its waypoints better.
· Now live for testers: The colony in VR, A lighter colony in VR
Update 11
FeatureTestersA big chapter for the colony: a training hologram with twenty short modules, a Captain's log that fills as you explore, mission briefings that ask a question about each day, and a guided briefing of the day. Rare sights now appear for your Xenolog, and there are small things for the curious to stumble on.
Update 10
FeaturePartly for testersLook beneath the asteroid: the Main Drive, its Thrusters and the Tug Train now hold the colony up, each one an Algorand RPC operator with its own status plume and panel. Ten new Broadcasts on the Broadcast Deck, from Under the Rock to a series of station dossiers.
Update 9
FeatureThe Broadcast Deck gains new Broadcasts from the colony archive, from Cadet Wren's first watch to a time-lapse of every cycle since genesis, and a Watched ribbon marks the ones you have seen. The privacy policy can now be read from the loading card.
Update 8
FeatureFour new Broadcasts reach the Broadcast Deck: Q-Day Protocol, Only Dust, Sealed Courier and Rekey Drill. The deck now plays them in the site's own player and lists only colony films. The first load ticks off its steps as the colony is assembled, the top bar keeps the colony's name in view, and a privacy policy page is linked from Settings and the Colony AI.
Update 7
FeatureChoose your world: a theme picker in Settings, a choice on your first visit, and a warp-flash transition whenever you switch. The Orbital Terminals' banners tell more about each exchange, and a stalled load now says why and offers Reload.
Update 6
FeatureOne structure per project: when Lofty's or ebitts' station is on the day's map, it is now drawn as its Commerce Ring building, and apps built on another project fly grey flags beside their host station. The Power Exchange's solar wing now faces the road, and the Deep Space Array's About section explains its timings.
Update 5
FeatureThe colony grows: Orbital Terminals on the rim show the exchanges' cargo, the Survey Deck points a scanner dish at each block explorer, and the Commerce Ring gains the Bridge Bureau and the Power Exchange. A new Broadcast Deck opens with key V.
Update 4
MixedThree new modules join the Commerce Ring: the Beacon Array for Fry Networks' device reports, the Sensor Masts for PiPhi's licence rewards and the Ranking Ladder for the World Chess rating ledger. The Colony AI now knows the Commerce Ring, the Anchor Ring and the Deep Space Array, and shows code neatly, while panels, flights and labels behave better.
Update 3
FeatureThree new landmarks come online in the colony: the Commerce Ring, where well-known assets like HesabPay and USDC each have a module of their own; the Anchor Ring, where projects anchor their records on chain; and the Null-Signal Spire, which follows ZeroSignal's paid AI requests. Couriers now fly as light freighters, and you can zoom in twice as close.
Update 2
FeatureThe Deep Space Array now stands in the foothills, its holographic Earth showing how quickly test transactions from around the world are confirmed. The colony also gains Scenic views with mission photos, the marks of neighbouring chains over the drifting rocks, and a Settings screen with a sound mixer and an always-daylight mode.
Update 1
FeatureThe first editions of Algo Colony: each day of the Algorand chain becomes an asteroid colony of stations, with Mission Control's bulletin, the colony's consensus at its core and a live feed of the cycle in progress. Query the Colony AI about the day, and open the Colony Field Guide to learn what everything means.
