200+ Improvements And Fixes. The Security Marathon Continues
We've completed a deep review of every internal and external audit submission received for SUPERNOVA, and finalized implementation of all critical fixes and improvements identified, applying them first and foremost to the production mainnet. A new mainnet security advisory will follow next week.
Beyond this release, focus shifts to hardening SUPERNOVA and bringing it above parity with the critical improvements and fixes already battle-tested in production on mainnet.
I’ll state this once again for posterity: expect exploits of every kind to continue hitting networks and open-source projects across the space, until the hardening of foundational protocols is taken as the life-or-death matter it is. Every hour invested in security today compounds, saving real money and invaluable time that would otherwise be lost to bad actors hunting for low-hanging fruit.
P.S. At the end of this week I'm stepping away from X for 2 - 4 weeks. When I'm back, I'll share the SUPERNOVA RELEASE TIMELINE.

FRESH OFF THE PRESS: MultiversX Unveils Flagship Multi-Protocol Universal Agentic Commerce Stack 🔥
AI agents have now moved from experimentation to economic actors in production. They schedule travel, reconcile invoices, manage inventory, trigger payments, and coordinate workflows with minimal human involvement.
Until very recently, the underlying infrastructure has lagged behind. Most payment protocols and blockchain systems were designed around interactive users, manual approvals, and sporadic transactions. Agent-driven systems operate continuously, programmatically, and across multiple environments. They require different assumptions at the protocol level.
Over the past months, MultiversX has implemented a set of protocol integrations designed specifically for this mode of operation. Together, they form a complete stack for agentic commerce: discovery, authorization, execution, settlement, and performance.

With this, MultiversX is ready to serve the new industry of agent-driven commerce at scale, TODAY.
1/25) MultiverseX (EGLD) is the technological holy grail of crypto
Capable of exceeding 100k TPS now, as it has fully implemented sharding!
After ETH & others gave up on this goal, EGLD came along & proved them all wrong!
Come with me & explore the cutting edge of crypto: 🧵
Unpopular opinion: modular, chain abstraction, rollups make the life of both developers and users harder.
The dream of #blockchain was to eliminate intermediaries and create a direct connection between user and application/service. No 3rd parties to process the payment, no 3rd party to write to the database, no intermediaries, no trust assumptions as you trust the code.
The dream for a builder is to use a developer friendly ecosystem where it does not need to ask for permissions to build. People might say it is permissionless, but when you need to ask for wallets to integrate you, where you need to make a proposal for your app to be included into a bridge or to a DA layer, or to get listed in a CEX.
Blockchain has created so many intermediaries it was supposed to eliminate. Now you have KOLs, researchers, foundations, VCs which have to agree and endorse your work to be relevant. Compared to web2 or gaming this is much harder. When I develop a gaming up, I take on SDK, build whatever I want and launch on my own site or on a playStore the game (yes, some gatekeeping there, but still more straightforward).
The real value lies in putting information and processes on a truly decentralised network in a direct way. The real value lies in making users really use the most authentic layer and its primitives.
Build on scalable L1. Its value proposition and primitives are much greater than any centralised system or which relies on others to properly work.
Building on L1 is 100x easier and cheaper than running your own “modular abstracted Lx”.
I have started to tweet in a constant way around 1 year ago. I try to write 3-4 message and still limit my time on X to 30 minutes.
In the last year when we look at politics, we see a much clearer downturn, decisions which do not make sense, from immigration to energy policies. To more censorship, eliminating privacy, attacking free speech, some things in the west look like the situations from the book 1984 or from super communist countries.
In the same time in crypto, oh 😥.
First we had the launch of new scalable L1s and the success of Solana. Which are both a good thing. Now we have to connect all fast finality chains so users can enjoy all the apps these offers. “We” in sense of all builders from all those chains. Apps can fight for users, base chains make usage of apps seamless. Why not?
Second, we had some up and going trends, what I remember are inscriptions, ERC404, memecoins. The first 2 are mostly dead, in terms of price, although the ideas are not bad, but the implementation was horror for users. But if you actually want to have dataNFTs, inscriptions, DN404 standards on #MultiversX all is implemented to a higher performance, better usage, composability and seamless UX.
Third, we have big raises for infrastructure projects who did not innovate at all. Launching just another Cosmos Chain with no innovation and some big marketing stunts. My opinion, some did not even launch, others have already rugged.
Fourth, remember all the memecoin celeb/non celeb RUGs? Or all those POINTS? Or high FDV launches which lost instantly? Non stop MEVs and market manipulation, wash tradings, bots rugging markets?
Fifth, L2/L3 graze. Which sucks out the blood from Ethereum and can steal everyone’s funds. Users and developers loose out the MOST and there is a constant denial from KOLs, researchers, influencers. They are lying 🤥. In the current centralised L2s noone would have sent tokens 3-4 years ago. The standards/requirements were much higher.
Although the world is in turmoil and blockchain technologies could actually turn the things around, at least making the people life better, crypto is about making dollars as fast as possible. The thing hated a few years ago, as everything was about the crypto punk revolution and to move away from FIAT.
Bring back the crypto revolution. Build everything on chain, decentralised and correct by start.
Build on #MultiversX
Here's how we see the future of gaming and apps:
1. Provide users with a large veriety of templates.
2. Give them complete freedom to customize.
3. Enhance that further with generative AI tools.
This is the future and we're building it now!

Including the immense potential unlocked by Sovereign Chains to unifying major blockchains via a powerful infrastructure acting as an invisible layer 👇
Some details related to finality improvement plan:
- now that the interim release is already on testnet, we can focus more on the finality improvement
- no need to first transition to consensus v2, the model that could allow us to go to sub second makes consensus v2 obsolete
