If it is not decentralised, it is web2 and people need to trust the companies, governments, regulations, whatever.
The whole purpose of blockchain and web3 is to have total digital freedom for everything. Code is law, composability is given, permissionless is built in.
It gives full responsibility, but full freedom as well. No more bureaucracy, no more dependence on the government or banks. 🏦
And yes, in this new world, the product have to be at least at the level of centralised products.
Day 1 - A Quest To Rebuild Elrond
2026 will be a quest to take the best of what we achieved and built with Elrond, the vision, the breakthroughs, the scars, the victories, and expand it into something far greater. Pushing beyond known limits. Crossing the frontier once again.
Today, we begin with the very foundation on which everything is built: the network itself.
The time has come to vote for Supernova.
Supernova is the milestone marking a new genesis event. A complete remaking of the entire network architecture from the ground up. This is how we achieve levels of performance, resilience, and user experience that not very long ago seemed impossible to conceive. A network that *works* and *feels* like the future. A network that is instantaneous. Offering a magical experience for users and builders.
This is a turning point. A fork in the road, toward a qualitatively different and better future.
Tomorrow, the Supernova vote begins.
Is it possible to scale to millions of TPS with 80ms finality on a decentralized network?
Most people would say no.
The physics don't work. The latency alone makes it impossible.
Yesterday's Supernova demo proved them wrong.
And here's the part nobody's talking about yet. ⬇️
———
MultiversX's Supernova upgrade just had its first live demo yesterday and hit numbers that even surprised the team.
With a goal of taking block time from 6s down to 600ms with instant finality, they showed that 600ms is just the starting point.
Reaching 400ms and even 200ms is very possible.
But wait, I thought you said 80ms?
Let me break down what this means.
———
With the full release of Supernova dropping in the next couple months, MultiversX's block time will be lowered to 600ms.
Currently 6 seconds.
Soon 600 milliseconds.
That means a new block with transactions will be formed and finalized every 600ms.
Those transactions are truly final too. Since the last update, Andromeda, MultiversX released single slot finality.
No more waiting for confirmations like is required for most blockchains.
Confirmations? Huh?
Ok let's take a step back.
———
When you submit a transaction, it is seen and confirmed by a group of validators.
In order for a chain to fully verify and confirm a tx is legit, it often takes multiple rounds or blocks.
Here's how MultiversX compares to many major L1:
📊 Ethereum
Block time: ~12s
Finality: 13 minutes (64 confirmations)
⚡ Solana
Block time: ~400ms
Finality: ~13 seconds (32 confirmations)
🔷 Cardano
Block time: ~20s
Finality: 1-2 minutes
🔴 Polkadot
Block time: ~6s
Finality: ~30 seconds
🟢 Algorand (one of the few with instant finality)
Block time: ~2.8s
Finality: Instant, no confirmations
⭕ Tron
Block time: ~3s
Finality: ~1 minute (19-20 confirmations)
⚫ MultiversX (with Supernova)
Block time: 600ms → 200ms possible
Finality: Instant, same shard
Cross-shard: ~1.5s average
———
See the problem?
Everyone else is measuring finality in seconds or minutes.
MultiversX is measuring in milliseconds.
And they're not even pushing the limits yet.
———
But that's not even the really impressive part.
Currently we are witnessing over 500ms of idle time on each block. But what does that mean?
When a round begins, a leader is selected with VRF (provable randomness), leader bundles the txs, 2/3rd +1 of validators sign, and the block is now irreversible, aka final.
This is taking on average 82ms right now:
⏱️ 1-5ms → Leader Selection
⏱️ 10-40ms → Voting
⏱️ 10-40ms → Signature aggregation
Total: ~82ms to FULL finality
That leaves 500ms+ of idle time.
Translation? The network can go even faster.
———
Let's touch on a few things here.
First, the signature aggregation and broadcast is where some magic happens. Any honest node can aggregate signatures, verify >2/3 voting, and submit.
The Andromeda release introduced ECP which allows any validator to finalize the block, NOT just the selected leader. This removes single leader failure which is far bigger than most realize.

Second, with Supernova, execution now happens in parallel across nodes POST-FINALITY.
This is where typical network latency comes into play which currently is around 120ms for global distribution.
———
So what's the big takeaway here?
The team set a goal of reducing block time from 6 seconds to 600ms and far outperformed even their own expectations.
MultiversX will soon see block times of 400ms or even as low as 200ms.
That is on top of instant finality so we are talking fully final intra-shard txs of possibly 200ms and cross-shard of ~500ms.
All on top of the first fully sharded chain that is capable of scaling to millions of TPS on minimal hardware, not server-grade machines.
A Samsung smartphone is currently validating blocks on the network to give you an idea of what's possible.
No other network can come close to touching that that I am aware of.
This is what is needed for a truly decentralized and scalable global network.
This is MultiversX.

A new DeFi era needs a return to fundamental primitives. Announcing Soul Public Sale!
DeFi is entering a new era, led by protocols that bring real innovation, but to live up to its full potential, it needs to re-embrace its founding ethos with broad distribution and fair allocation.
Soul is part of this: a 0-to-1 DeFi primitive that reimagines and unites crypto lending, built to unlock a new category of opportunities for users and enabling new DeFi economies led by increased efficiency and new on-chain dynamics.
The launch of our Testnet has been a significant initial milestone in our journey, and we are beyond grateful to see such a warm welcome from our early community members!
With this being just the first step of a long path ahead, we are excited to announce another significant milestone we are gearing up towards.
Introducing the $SO Token Fair Public Round on May 16th!
As a fully decentralized protocol, our goal is not to lead a community, but to lead together with the community! We are big believers that a united goal to create a change in the world will bring the strongest foundations for long-term success.
We are excited to share with you that Soul successfully raised $4M in a private round from valuable partners such as @XVentures_Fund, @tpcventures, and @rv_inc alongside angels from @coinbase, @LayerZero_Core, @flowdesk_co, and @pisquared. This was an important step to support the early development of the protocol and bring the initial vision to life.
However, we believe that the true value of Soul should be established transparently, through broad community participation, rather than being set by private market dynamics.
To support this, we are introducing the Fair Public Round for the $SO Token.
A process designed to ensure equal access, fair valuation, and eliminate preferential terms for early participants.
// The problem
Over the past few years, a familiar pattern has emerged across the crypto sector.
Projects often raise substantial capital through private rounds, securing early valuations and preferential terms for a limited group of participants.
When a public round is eventually offered, it typically comes at a significantly higher valuation, offering fewer opportunities and limited upside for retail investors.
This approach creates a fundamental imbalance, restricting participation and disconnecting value creation from important groups who also contribute to a project's success: users, supporters, and builders. At Soul, we believe there is a better model, one that aligns incentives from the beginning and builds stronger foundations for long-term growth.
By giving the community the opportunity to participate early and on fair terms, we enable those who contribute to Soul’s success to directly benefit from the value they help create.
// A new ICO era emerges
An era in which initial valuations are not decided around a table of early private participants, but by the open and public participation itself.
In 2017–2018, we witnessed one of the most dynamic periods in crypto history: the ICO era.
A time when anyone, anywhere in the world, could participate meaningfully in the early growth of projects they believed in.
Access was open, participation was broad, and innovation was funded directly by the community.
Over time, however, that spirit of openness faded.
The rise of private rounds and exclusive allocations shifted the landscape toward more traditional fundraising models, limiting access and weakening the connection between projects and their communities.
We believe it's time to restore that original spirit, to rebuild a model where openness, fairness, and community participation are at the core of crypto startup innovation.
// Pushing for an ICO 2.0 Era
At Soul, we are committed to building a foundation that prioritizes fair participation and long-term alignment.
25% of the total token supply will be allocated to the community through this Public Round, establishing the basis for strong, decentralized governance as the protocol launches.
Soul’s valuation will be determined upon the conclusion of the Public Sale, based solely on the capital raised during the round. We are equally committed to avoiding the common pitfalls of low circulating supply and artificially high FDV. All tokens offered in the public round will be fully unlocked at TGE, allowing for a transparent, market-driven valuation from the outset.
// $SO Utility
The $SO token is an essential component of the Soul Protocol, designed to drive governance, gauge voting, yield boosting, and value sharing.
Rather than existing as a speculative asset, $SO is structured to reward participation, align incentives across stakeholders, and strengthen long-term protocol sustainability.
Its utility is directly tied to protocol adoption and engagement, ensuring that value creation flows to those who contribute meaningfully to the protocol.
Soul rejects short-term incentive models such as liquidity mining, which often generate unsustainable growth. Instead, prioritizes product-driven revenue and long-term value accrual, distributing rewards to $SO stakers and active participants in proportion to their contributions.
Governance & Emissions Control
$SO is the governance token of the Soul Protocol, enabling holders to participate in critical decision-making processes.
Through governance proposals and emission gauge voting, $SO holders directly influence the allocation of incentives across Soul’s integrated Money Markets, ensuring that ecosystem growth is aligned with stakeholder interests.
Boosted Yields Through Staking
Staking $SO enhances users' lending positions by granting access to additional yield opportunities on top of base APYs.
This mechanism directly links token utility to core protocol activity, ensuring that demand for $SO is driven by real usage rather than speculative behavior.
Revenue Sharing & Buyback Mechanism
The protocol’s fee switch will direct a portion of collected revenue to purchase $SO tokens from the open market, which will then be redistributed to stakers through emissions and reward mechanisms.
This model will directly link protocol revenue to tokenholder rewards, ensuring that $SO ownership is economically tied to the protocol’s activity and long-term growth.
