Rebuilding Elrond, The Great Transition

We are approaching what feels like one of the most trajectory-altering milestones in our brief history. Not just for the network, or for the ecosystem. But for every single person who has believed, built, or simply held on.

Over the past weeks, I've had the same conversation, in different forms, almost every day. Some brief. Some deeply illuminating. But all circling the same gravitational center: what is the thing that recaptures attention, ours and the world's, and puts us back at the frontier?

The first conversation has been with the team. Watching them build this new engine that has emerged, slowly, painstakingly, and then almost at once. There are two ways to look at it. One is technical, studying the system, the code, the architecture, appreciating the years of effort compressed into something objectively and fundamentally better. The second way is simpler, more immediate, almost visceral: execute a simple transaction on “the old MultiversX architecture”. Then execute the same simple transaction on Supernova. If you have the eyes to see it, that moment right there, is staggering.

Observing both, the meticulous building and then the results, that somehow still surprise me. You understand that something foundational has changed, and this time, you can really feel it. This week, we are closing in on the last known bugs, preparing for a final wave of specialized chaos testing before the public battles begin. A refreshing milestone.

To come back to the question, this new Supernova experience provides the first and strong answer. One that reshapes what users, builders, and investors weigh when they look at a project like ours. A new standard for speed. For scalability. For resilience. For what it actually feels like to use a blockchain. This is Supernova.

The second conversation took me through the same point, but from the opposite angle. We revisited the same question with a long-time investor, someone who has been part of Elrond, then MultiversX, through all the seasons. Once I showed him Supernova in practice, something shifted. He saw it differently. So much so that he found this great moment to take the opportunity and add a significant new position to his EGLD stake.

The Elves are, slowly, coming back.

People who have been here for years, the good years and the difficult years, are returning to look with fresh eyes at everything that has been built. While markets have been brutal across the board, taking a close look at this sometimes excruciating progress is humbling.

It opens a different perspective on what now becomes possible.

A good moment to pause. Take a closer look. Test the new experience. Let it become what it was always meant to be: a rebirth.

Supernova.

A few raw showerthoughts on MvX/EGLD in 2026

(i.e. things that can 10x/100x EGLD value creation & accrual)

First. Less is more. We intend to be significantly more aggressive and intentional in saying no. 99 of no's every single day, make a big yes truly possible. This is hard to grasp at first, but rapidly compounds once put in action. This is how we enter 2026.

Second. Speed, action, agency and directional alignment matter 100x more in the age of AI. We are prioritizing launching fast. Iterating on a few ideas, bringing them to life, and putting them in the hands of users. Letting users be our thermostat for what's needed, loved and valued. Ideally, I would want us to end the year with one cool milestone launched every quarter. But maybe there is a good possibility to push that limit to one cool milestone every month. Or maybe even faster.

Third. A few (very few) major directional milestones for 2026:

(a) Supernova - this is without a doubt the biggest milestone for the network. A complete reinvention, to put MvX at the very frontier of speed, scalability, and UX. Delivering this, taking it across the line, will be like giving birth to a new chapter for the network. This is our number one priority for the year. Why? Because this changes everything for the network. Capabilities, competitive edge, monetization potential, added value for users, builders and investors. Supernova, makes Mvx once again, objectively, one of the most advanced and competitive networks in the world. For speed, scalability UX (and decentralization/censorship resistance).

(b) Zero knowledge privacy - ZK primitives embedded at protocol level in MvX adds a completely new dimension. Privacy is a foundational necessity for users, and society. ZK is the means to make this a reality. Private EGLD transactions and private smart contract interactions open a completely new set of possibilities for a network that is instantaneous, and remarkable in UX. A money that is uncensorable, private, and programmable, is a money that has substantial expected value. Making this set of properties a viable network reality, marks a material uptick in the value of EGLD itself.

(c) A major focus shift on the app layer - we are moving toward a few, monetizable, and enshrined finance primitives that can generate and accrue material value for EGLD. The big lie shared by many across the crypto space is that you need hundreds of apps, and tens of thousands of builders to succeed big with a network. But the hard and refreshing truth is that you only need *one app* that users truly love, use, and pay for, to break through the ocean of irrelevance and take the network to a new level of attention and adoption. Now, just pause, and think about that for a second. (!) Drastically compressing the application surface space initially, to develop a niche monopoly first, is a rather contrarian bet that can make all the difference. But the immediate and compounding gains in focus, speed, and efficiency could become a surprising turning point. What are those primitives, how do we create or get to them, how do we align and move lightning-fast? This is some good food for thought, that is the subject for an entirely separate post.

(d) AI built into everything - AI has been eating software for a few decades now. But the rate of change at which it happened in 2024 / 2025, and will continue to accelerate in front of our eyes in 2026, will be astounding. I’ve been stating a variation of this for the last 2-3 years now, and we’ve indeed had a number of AI SDKs, AI services and AI applications launched on this front during the last 2 years. 2026, will feel like AI is being gradually merged into everything we are doing. The effects of that will be a 10x-100x improvement in builder market expansion, a 10x-100x improvement in number ideas brought to life, a 10x-100x improvement in time to value (more effective reframing of time to market). Applying AI to lower barriers to entry and increase distribution speed, bring ideas to life drastically faster, and generate more and faster value with them; that is what 2026 and the next years will feel like.

The times are changing. While markets have been especially challenging for everything crypto related, I believe (a) Supernova will mark a new chapter with dramatic shift in UX and performance for the network, (b) privacy embedded at protocol level will open a new set of use cases for users and builders, (c) a few enshrined, monetizable and EGLD aligned primitives will give a new breath of fresh air and focus to the network and ecosystem, (d) AI embedded at every level of the experience, starting with the builder level, will unlock a vastly larger builder market, accelerate number of ideas brought to life, and improve time to value and monetization on them. Executing and shipping to bring these ideas to life, is where we'll spend the year.

It’s 2026. We can just build things. With focus, speed, and intention.

Making them truly accessible and relevant far beyond crypto, to the rest of the world around us.

Supernova!

La mulți ani, România! 🇷🇴

Câteva gânduri simple, venite din inimă, cu ocazia acestei aniversări.

Curajul de a încerca. De a reuși, sau de a eșua. Dar mai presus de toate, de a încerca. Din nou, și din nou.

Puterea de a crede că încă se poate. Acel risc asumat care, în timp, devine sămânța din care poate crește un imperiu.

Pătrunderea de a înțelege curentele vremurilor. Prezența de spirit de a le remodela. Spre a-ți făuri o nouă cale.

O cale cu avânt. Zidită în hotărâre. Luminată.

La mulți ani, România.
