when your validator terminal scrolls faster than you can read, that's Supernova. 600ms blocks. testnet live.

Supernova on @MultiversX Testnet! 🔥🛠️

Supernova. Live on Testnet now.

FRESH OFF THE PRESS: EGLD POSITIONED FOR US INSTITUTIONAL ADOPTION 🇺🇸 Arizona Senate Bill 1649 establishes the first Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund in the United States, with EGLD named directly in the bill text. The bill introduces an evaluation framework written into law, measuring network strength, development improvements, performance benchmarks. Fourteen assets made the cut. EGLD one of them. This matters far beyond a single state. SB1649 sets a legal precedent for how governments can evaluate and hold digital assets following a deep review of fundamental measurable criteria. The fact that Arizona’s legislature looked at the data and included MultiversX technology alongside Bitcoin and other assets speaks volumes to what the team has been building for years: real infrastructure, real usage, real resilience. If this passes the full House vote, Arizona becomes the first US state to hold a diversified crypto reserve, and EGLD is eligible from day one. Institutional frameworks are being built around networks and assets enabling a robust and resilient foundation to build on for the future. A great example of long efforts from people who care, builders and entrepreneurs from around the world, showing up, and finding new ways to bring contributions to the ecosystem. cc @DigitalGoldTalk Public source: azleg.gov/legtext/57leg/…

Supernova is live on Testnet. Our biggest upgrade since Mainnet launch is now available for public testing.

Solana had the exact same class of bug a while back in their confidential Token Extensions, anyone could have minted unlimited tokens. Luckily for them, the core team (with overwhelming stake control) pushed an emergency overnight validator upgrade, then publicly confirmed “all checks passed, no on-chain attack ever happened.” One side got lucky and caught it before it was exploited. The other got discovered by a whitehat who couldn’t test on devnet… so he did it on mainnet. theblock.co/post/353055/so… You were lucky once, karma came back yesterday. 1-1 as of today. 😉

Bonjour EthCC 🇫🇷🥐 The energy in Cannes is different this time. Stani on stage at Kaito Agora talking about merging Aave V4 with institutional rails. The message from every institutional panel this week is the same: “Regulatory clarity finally arrived, and the real capital allocation clearance will follow.” MiCA in Europe. CLARITY Act moving in the US. The merge between DeFi and TradFi isn't theoretical anymore but being built in real time. The protocols that prepared for this moment are about to be rewarded. MultiversX invested in regulatory compliance and institutional-grade infrastructure from day one and looking at more projects to take shape and come online from within the ecosystem. The bet is sharpening. EthCC[9] 🌊

Critical Mass. One last stress test for Supernova. Tomorrow. Live.

Most people wait for Monday to start. We use Monday to execute 🏎️ Jump in this boat or get left behind.

A Bet We Made in 2018 This is me and Vitalik in 2018. ETH Devcon. We were at a table talking about sharding and how blockchains could actually scale by running execution in parallel. At the time, Ethereum and Elrond had the same thesis. Both believed execution sharding was the path forward. Since then, Ethereum changed direction multiple times. Sharding gave way to rollups. Rollups gave way to "we need to scale L1 again." The roadmap shifted, the promises changed, the technical approach pivoted more than once. And through all of it - the Ethereum community stayed. They gave the team the space to find the right path. They didn't kill the project when the roadmap changed. They believed the builders would figure it out. That patience is what kept Ethereum alive. Not the technology. The community. ─── We made a different bet. We bet on execution sharding from day one and we never left that path. Adaptive state sharding shipped on mainnet in 2020. Three execution shards plus a metachain. State, network, transactions - all sharded from genesis. Supernova shipped this year. Consensus decoupled from execution. 600ms blocks. achieved 88ms finality. 120,000 TPS burst mode on the same validator hardware. 3,200+ validators on consumer-grade machines. 171,000 commits. #6 in the entire industry. Ahead of Solana, Avalanche, Sui, Polygon, Aptos, and TON. Tier-one infrastructure providers on board, distribution partners like Cointelegraph are running validator nodes. Stripe's Machine Payments Protocol is settling on MultiversX. EGLD is named in an Arizona state strategic reserve bill. The agentic commerce stack - x402, MPP, MX-8004, UCP, ACP, MCP - is live on one chain. xMoney is building regulated stablecoin issuance under MiCA. The infrastructure underneath has never been stronger. ─── And yet the market prices EGLD like none of this exists. Every blockchain community is going through the same thing right now. EGLD is down. ETH is down. SOL is down. The market doesn't differentiate between chains that shipped paradigm-shifting infrastructure and chains that shipped a landing page. But here's what's different about right now. Bitcoin survived 2014. Ethereum survived 2018. Solana survived 2022. In each case, the community stayed long enough for the technology to matter. In each case, the community that held wrote the next chapter. And in each case, the ones who fractured, who turned on their own builders, who let the loudest voices - the ones who already sold - define the narrative? Those communities don't exist anymore. You don't remember their names. The perception of value has been distorted. By cycles. By speculation. By narratives that reward noise over engineering. And by us - divided when we should be united. Turning on each other instead of building forward together. Look at what's underneath. Not the chart. The infrastructure. 88ms finality. 120K TPS. #6 in developer activity globally. Tier-one infrastructure partners. Stripe settling on-chain. EGLD in US state legislation. Regulated stablecoins under MiCA. An agentic commerce stack that Visa, Coinbase, and Mastercard are racing to replicate. This is not a project searching for relevance. This is a project that shipped the relevance and is waiting for its community to match it. If this fails, it won't be because the technology wasn't good enough. It will be because we weren't united enough to carry it forward. I've been here since 2018. That table with Vitalik. Every pivot, every cycle, every doubt. Still here. Still building. Now it's your turn. Not to believe. To show up.

SUPERNOVA. IS. COMING. A new beginning. A new frontier. A state-of-the-art, ground-up reinvented, technological foundation. Built through maximum pain and fire. Earned through sweat, and blood, and tears, every ounce of its resilience, strength, and performance. Unmatched in speed, throughput, UX, and decentralization. And still, the markets are deeply asleep. As we prepare to cross into uncharted territory, there is only one question left. *Are you ready?* To show up. To own it. To fight. To ride or die, into a new chapter. The actions and energy you bring to this moment decide everything that follows. SUPERNOVA.

Supernova is the sonic boom of blockchain interaction. But in what way, precisely? Well, a sonic boom happens when an object outruns its own sound. There's no warning or no build-up. The thing just arrives before the sound it makes can catch up. With Supernova, the transaction lands before the user even registers they're waiting. The experience outruns the expectation. And creates a perception boom. Every architectural bet we made over the past five years points here. Right at this moment. The phase of instantaneous interaction has arrived.

Supernova is live on Battle Net. Here's what changed under the hood and why it matters. The paradigm shift nobody's talking about: Every blockchain in the industry is measured on two metrics: block time and throughput. Faster blocks = better chain. More TPS = better chain. ---------- Supernova breaks this framing entirely. For the first time in the blockchain industry, block finality is faster than block slot allocation. Let me explain what that means. How every other blockchain works: Traditional blockchains follow Execute → Propose → Vote. Validators must execute every transaction before proposing a block. The block slot is the clock. Finality can never be faster than the slot, because execution is in the critical path. Ethereum: 12.8s slot, ~12.8 minutes finality. Solana: 400-600ms slot, 13 seconds finality. Sui: variable, ~500 to 1000 ms for complex transactions. In every case: finality ≥ block slot. This is treated as a law of physics. It's not. ---------- How Supernova works: We flipped the model to Propose/Vote → then Execute. Consensus proceeds independently of execution. Validators agree on transaction ordering first. Execution results are notarized in subsequent block headers via inclusion proofs. The inclusion proof is the key innovation: it allows a block to be finalized with cryptographic proof that its transactions will execute correctly, before the execution itself completes. The virtual state tracker in the transaction pool maintains a deterministic view of account states (nonces, balances, pending transactions) so consensus can validate without waiting for full execution. Result: the block is finalized faster than the block round itself. 88ms finality measured in testing. Sub-200ms under real-world conditions. On 600ms block slots. Finality < block slot. First time in the industry. ---------- The throughput story: With the same hardware specification as pre-Supernova mainnet, the network now achieves ~120,000 transactions per second in burst mode. Same nodes. Same machines. 10x the block production cadence. This is the same validator infrastructure running fundamentally better software. The backpressure system (Execution-Result Inclusion Estimator) ensures this scales safely - dynamically adjusting per-block gas limits if execution lags behind proposals, so minimum-spec nodes never get overwhelmed. What this means in context: - Block time: 6s → 600ms (10x) - Finality: ~88ms measured (first blockchain where finality < slot time) - Throughput: ~120,000 TPS burst mode (same hardware) - Architecture: consensus fully decoupled from execution - Sharding: 3 execution shards + metachain, fully preserved - Validators: 3,200+ nodes, no hardware upgrade required ---------- Battle of Nodes is stress-testing all of this right now. $150K in prizes to find what breaks. Validators, security researchers, builders, and guilds pushing the limits. If Supernova survives this, it ships to mainnet. 150,000 lines of new protocol code. 20 months of engineering. The most significant upgrade since genesis.

OPOS stands for “Only Possible On Supernova” btw 😏

@joewu_official It will happen the next moment Supernova hits I will make it

The latest network stress test put serious pressure on our BoN infrastructure, especially on the gateway-facing observers and the indexers. A few important details on the current setup: - one observer per shard behind the gateway - well below spec for sustained stress testing; on mainnet we use multiple observers per shard for load balancing - a single indexing cluster accessed by all services - on mainnet, different services use different clusters - a single observer per shard (one squad), with notifier, serving internal services - on mainnet we run multiple squads, and these roles are split across different machines. Regular API requests and VM queries are also served by different machine types there We also found a misconfiguration on BoN for VM queries. Under stress, it led to request buildup and out-of-memory issues, which affected both the API and the gateway. We are fixing this. Over the last two days of testing, we also uncovered optimizations needed for Supernova when the network is hit with very high transaction volume continuously over long periods. These issues only surface under sustained heavy load. The optimization has already been prepared and tested internally, and we will likely deploy it on BoN as well. One clear lesson: running stress tests like this while also keeping infra costs low is a challenge on its own. That said, the network is still up and running, and more optimizations are on the way to improve behavior under heavy load. And finally, a big thank you to everyone involved - these findings were possible because of your efforts.

This is SUPERNOVA. A complete ground-up reset of performance and experience, for builders, users, and the mass arrival of agents. Pressure-tested. Final steps before coming to life.
