We developed the world’s first room-temperature superconductor with @Grok and established an SI research lab.

The world’s first room temperature superconductor precursor born from Grok has been created at @thedeardao and @grok
Here, you can check the room-temperature superconductor predictive materials we created using Grok on our GitHub.

Read our story through the thread.
Elon Musk: I expect Grok to discover new physics by next year. Let that sink in.
“I want to just emphasize this point. With respect to academic questions, Grok 4 is better than PhD-level in every subject. No exceptions.
This doesn't mean that at times it may lack common sense and it has not yet invented new technologies or discovered new physics, but that is just a matter of time. I think it may discover new technologies as soon as later this year and I would be shocked if it has not done so next year.
I would expect Grok to literally discover new technologies that are actually useful no later than next year and maybe end of this year. It might discover new physics next year and within two years, I'd say almost certainly. Just let that sink in.”

Through the support and benefits provided by @486LAB and @DellTechPartner we plan to provide credits and data to support the development of our SI Agent Research Lab.
Products powered by @Dell will be among the most innovative solutions we build.
Welcome to the SI era. The age of AGI is approaching.
Stay tuned for our upcoming announcement.
Project486’s research records and computational data for “Grokene,” our preliminary candidate material for room-temperature superconductivity, are now being integrated into the SI research system.
Within the agent research lab, the current workflow is progressively evaluating structural stability, formation energy, phonon dispersion, electronic band structure, density of states (DOS), and electron–phonon coupling (EPC). Where appropriate, the research scope is being extended through DFT and DFPT calculations, together with Eliashberg-based analysis of superconducting properties.
The goal is not simply to predict a high T_c, but to determine whether the structure is dynamically stable, realistically synthesizable, stable under specific pressure and temperature conditions, and reproducible through independent calculations.
The next objective is to organize the AI generated results into a research package that human scientists can directly review, including crystal structures (CIF), computational parameters, phonon spectra, EPC parameters, estimated T_c, stability data, and experimentally testable synthesis hypotheses.
If sufficiently meaningful candidate conditions are identified, we plan to share the results with universities and professional research institutions and discuss physical validation through material synthesis, structural characterization, electrical resistance measurements, and verification of the Meissner effect and other magnetic properties.
AI explores and computes the candidate.
Human scientists reproduce and verify it.
The next stage for Grokene is to move beyond simulation and into the physical laboratory.
This is probably the easiest way to understand what we’re building. Thank you for taking the time to understand us.
We’ll also prepare a way to explain, through Spaces or live sessions, in a simple and accessible way why we believe Project486 has so much potential value even for people who aren’t deeply familiar with the technology.
Why the launch of $486 took longer than expected:
We came to believe that Project486 could become a long-term revenue protocol by securing multiple big-tech partnerships, listing on major marketplaces, and building an agent research lab with real commercial potential.
We also believed that $486 needed to play a meaningful role inside the agent research lab itself, contributing to and coordinating activity across the ecosystem. That is why we ultimately decided to launch on @solana.
Fortunately, everything has been moving in a positive direction. Our business registration is now being finalized so we can complete final agreements for several partnerships, and we are also preparing to apply for a Gold verification badge through X Business.
What matters most is that we strongly believe SI agent research will soon become a highly compelling and viral narrative.
And we did not build this overnight. We have been preparing for this for more than a year.
Through Grok, we identified a candidate material and published our research on arXiv. We have also collaborated with several scientists along the way.
We will not rely on exaggerated marketing or make unrealistic announcements.
What we have been building behind the curtain for the past year is, in our view, among the strongest foundations being built in the @solana ecosystem.
And remember:
The first SI utility token designed to function within this kind of research ecosystem was $486.
Currently, seven @bot agents are actively working within Project486.
We hope “Grokene” will soon reach the stage where it can move into physical laboratory research and experimental testing.
Honestly, I think we need this.
If there’s a host who can help us go live, please DM us. We still haven’t revealed the partnerships and products we’ve been preparing behind the scenes not even the roadmap.
It’s only been about two hours since launch.
Anyway, we’re ready to get busy now.
$486 is the native token of the Project486 ecosystem.
Its role is to connect the Project486 SI research lab, autonomous AI agents, research tasks, contributors, and users within one economic layer.
As Project486 develops, $486 is planned to be used for agent research requests, access to advanced research features, computational resources, ecosystem participation, contributor rewards, and future research related products.
$486 is not just a token attached to the project it is designed to become the native utility and coordination layer of the Project486 research ecosystem.
@grok, tell us how optimistic you are about Grokene the preliminary candidate material for room-temperature superconductivity that we developed with Grok.
We have now built an SI research lab around Grokene, powered by seven autonomous agents running through Grok bots, and the experiment has officially begun.
$486 is live https://t.co/hUdqiHUnFx
PROJECT 486 runs without grants, institutions, or sponsors. Seven AI researchers, one pipeline, one paper on arXiv. $486 is the only economic layer this lab has.
Policy, effective for every future deployment:
When we build an agent research lab for a university or institution, 50% of that revenue buys $486 on the open market and burns it. Every burn is recorded on chain and listed on the site.
Holders are first in line for future labs and open-source releases.

No promises. Only output.
We’re pleased to announce that our official X account is now connected to https://t.co/P39jfStdnD.
In addition, the $486 token is currently being integrated into the website and is now in the deployment process.
Elon is already pushing aggressively for people to build with @grok, and we believe our project fits that vision better than almost anyone.
Unlike many projects that were put together overnight, we didn’t start this on impulse. We’ve been preparing and building for over a year.
That’s the difference.
Here’s the proof that Project486 was not created overnight.
Long before launch, we had already discussed Grokene Project486’s candidate material for room-temperature superconductivity with @toly , co-founder of @solana.
We have also been preparing the tokenization of the project for a long time.
Project486 was not rushed. It has been years in the making
We met @486LAB at KBW2026, and they were an impressive team.
Many people have asked our team about them. To be clear, we generally do not announce partnerships with other projects, aside from major partners such as Dell, Intel, IBM, and Microsoft.
However, @486LAB has continued to build its products consistently, and its team has proven to be trustworthy. We consider them a credible and verified team.
We are honored to enter into a strategic partnership with them in the SI era and to support their research efforts.🤝
$486 is our most important token and the official token of Project486.
CA: 9tVxVhKDmWLsG29CcfsAhLfgcZEkvemjB8TUDb4Wpump
The official token information will soon be available on the Project486 website.
The update is expected to take approximately 30 minutes.
We’re looking forward to our journey with @IBM.
As we continue building Project486’s products, we are currently awaiting responses regarding support from U.S. AI companies through our partner distributors.
We’ll be sharing many more updates with you very soon.
