The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

A global first for xMoney 🚀
We are proud to become the first @Mastercard issuer in the world to launch Mastercard Payment Passkey, the next-generation authentication solution for tokenized online payments.
Combined with Click to Pay, already available through xMoney, we're helping set a new standard for secure, seamless online checkout.
✅ Biometric authentication
✅ Faster payment confirmation
✅ Reduced fraud risk
✅ Less friction at checkout
A huge thank you to Mastercard for partnering with us on this milestone.
🏪 @xMoney_com merchants are waking up to this email in their inbox. Without changing a single thing, they start accumulating XMN.
It's called "Rewards for Merchants": a portion of the fees they already pay gets converted into XMN on their behalf. Payouts stay the same. XMN just starts accumulating in the background.
The mechanism is elegant: instead of disappearing into the fee structure, a slice comes back. The merchant doesn't lift a finger - but ends up as a conscious stakeholder in the same ecosystem their customers are already using.

🇺🇸 EGLD Enters the US Institutional Conversation
———
State of Arizona advanced two crypto bills to a full House vote.
SB1042 allows 10% of state public funds into digital assets. SB1649 creates a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, first of its kind in the US.
SB1649 names 14 cryptocurrencies by name. Selection criteria: adoption, transactions, transaction value, development ecosystem.
EGLD is one of the 14.
———
If passed, Arizona creates the first US state crypto reserve. EGLD eligible from day one. The precedent opens the door for other states and bigger institutional adoption.

For the last years, we have been working toward a new breakthrough. A ground-up rearchitecting to set new records in speed, and UX (in addition to unprecedented throughput).
Yesterday, with the same minimal technical specs, we have processed 1 Billion transactions, achieving a peak of 120k transactions/second in a LIVE community battlenet, with only 3 shards + metachain.
This is SUPERNOVA 🔥
The game has changed.
Introducing Scream-to-Pay 🗣️
Step 1: Open the payment page
Step 2: Scream the amount
Step 3: The louder you scream, the faster the settlement
Works better in private.

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 live.
The largest network upgrade in MultiversX history has been activated on our Battle Net.
Over the next week, validators, developers, and community members will push it to its limits and harden its security.
Live, in public, with real stakes.
Pocket (@heypocket) is your notetaker for real world meetings.
In the last 5 months, the team has delivered over 30k units with a $27M annualized run rate, growing 50% month over month.
Congrats on the launch, @AkshayNarisetti and @gabrieldymowski!

⚡️AI MEETS BLOCKCHAIN PAYMENTS
AI just learned how to use a crypto wallet.
MultiversX is the first blockchain to integrate Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol, letting AI agents check balances and execute on-chain transactions automatically.
Welcome, Agents!
x402, the HTTP-native protocol for autonomous payments, is now available on MultiversX.
AI agents can pay for APIs, data, and compute resources over standard HTTP.
No accounts. No subscriptions. Just pay and go.
