September 10: MultiversX drops Supernova. Same hardware. 10x faster.
Every chain makes you wait. Spin the wheel, pray it confirms. We killed the wait entirely.
The bar? The internet itself. Pages load instantly. Messages send now. Nobody waits for consensus on a website.
We're clearing that bar.
Most "fast" chains bought speed with beefy hardware. Crank up server requirements → throughput goes up → only companies can afford to run nodes.
We took the hard path: sharded everything from first principles. 3 execution shards + 1 metachain. Every address lives in one shard. Capacity scales by adding shards. Nodes stay lean.
Validator requirements since May 2020: entry-level PC, 4 cores, 8GB RAM, 200GB SSD, 2,500 $EGLD stake.
Still the same. Never moved.
Genesis validators from 2020? Still running. 68 of today's 109 staking providers registered March 2021. All still active. 3,680 validator nodes competing for 3,200 seats.
What they built beyond staking:
@ProjectX_DAO → Kepler infrastructure: distributed observers, real-time indexing, webhooks for builders
@colombiastaking → 50 nodes on solar + Starlink across Colombia/France. Live panel monitoring published.
@foxsy_ai → 50 nodes + robotics/AI flagship
@RosettaStake → Won Security Track + Guild Wars at recent Battle of Nodes. Took 25% of $100k prize.
Supernova specs dropping Sept 10:
• Blocks every 600ms (was 6 seconds)
• Finality in <250ms within shard
• Cross-shard settlement ~2.4 seconds
• Consensus separated from execution
10x faster. Same machines. Same people who never turned them off for 6 years.
The waiting stops September 10.
