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.

[Lucian Mincu @lucianmincu]

Start with the headline.

Foundation spend: $9.1M in 2024. $7.7M in 2025. $3.6M projected for 2026.

That's 60% leaner over the period. 37x less than what Ethereum* and Polkadot* are spending.

The reduction is a deliberate choice to concentrate capital where it compounds.

* public available historical data

[Lucian Mincu @lucianmincu]

Today we're releasing the State of the Foundation Report covering FY 2024 and FY 2025.

5 protocol upgrades. 6 governance proposals passed. A 60% leaner footprint.

A full account for $EGLD stakeholders. How the Foundation allocated funding. What was built. What the community ratified.

Walking through it below.

$EGLD is the best assymetric bet.

An agent on #MultiversX has to buy shirts for his owner & triggers a transaction on @Zalando via MPP from @stripe.

If the merchant accepts crypto, payments can go directly. If not the payment is routed through Stripe which convert into fiat & complete inside traditional system.

SUPERNOVA SPEED IN WEB3 CONTEXT

[Lucian Mincu @lucianmincu]

Supernova isn't just a protocol upgrade.

It's the force making every serious app on MultiversX to level up.

xExchange just rebuilt their backend from scratch. 7x faster. Ready for 600ms blocks before they even land.

This is how ecosystems win. Building ahead.

100+ security issues. Identified. Neutralized.

AI in its current form is a nuclear force. Channeled right, it delivers pure, unadulterated, unmatched, productivity gains. Channeled wrong, it ships weapons, with attack vectors the world has never had to defend against.

The next chapter will be defined by this duality: breathtaking productivity unlocks, colliding with deep, surgical, systemic attacks unlike anything we've seen.

For any blockchain team, any open-source team, security is THE PRIORITY.

The MultiversX team has been operating around the clock. Nights. Weekends. Relentless. Methodically filtering, triaging, and eliminating, in record time, a long list of material issues and protocol-level improvements. Every fix is another layer of hardening ahead of Supernova.

To put things in perspective: in the last few months, we've surfaced and closed more issues than in the previous 3 - 4 years combined. This is the preparation phase. And the fact that AI has crossed a new capability threshold cannot be overstated.

Supernova is not an upgrade. It is a complete rewrite of what a blockchain can be, instant performance, radical scalability, human UX that actually feels seamless, and just works. It also opens a new verifiable agentic highway. Real. Live. Working today.

Continuously adaptive security will define the AI era—and almost no one is treating it that way.

Static firewalls defended the old internet. Continuously adaptive security is what defines survival in the AI era.

Our engineering team, along with a resourceful network of builders, validators, and community members, is doing the surgical, disciplined, vital work that shapes what comes next.

This is MultiversX. This is SUPERNOVA.

[Lucian Mincu @lucianmincu]

when your validator terminal scrolls faster than you can read, that's Supernova.

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

🇺🇸 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.

Now that is an impressive number.
220K TPS. Just like that.
On low spec consumer grade hardware.

Made possible only by the best engineering team.
Sharding, SuperNova, MultiversX.

[Beniamin Mincu |🇺🇸/acc @beniaminmincu]

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.

[Lucian Mincu @lucianmincu]

two weeks ago I wrote: "finality faster than the block slot. 120K TPS. same hardware."

today: 1 billion transactions processed on Battle Net. 120K TPS confirmed live.

still think nobody's building? RT this and tag someone who needs to see it.

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] 🌊

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.
