Relentless Shipping at MultiversX
Since the start of 2025, the MultiversX engineering team has shipped more than 20 releases. Each one builds on the last, showing a system in constant motion and steady evolution.
Protocol: Strengthening the Foundation
MultiversX advances toward sub-second finality with Supernova. The proposal sets an initial 600 ms slot and adopts a propose, vote, then execute flow, so validators finalize on votes and run execution right after. Headers now carry notarized execution results, with a deterministic estimator that decides how many results fit safely in each round.
Barnard prepared the ground with millisecond-precision time hooks and tighter gas economics, so apps and validators align with the faster cadence. The result is faster inclusion, predictable finality, and a clear path for builders to update time-based logic.
API: Creating Smoother Access
The API layer received a steady stream of improvements. Endpoints became more consistent, with stronger error handling and pagination. Query performance improved, making balances, transactions, and contract states easier to fetch at scale.
Builders now rely on cleaner guarantees when their apps connect to the network. This reduces workarounds and enables smoother user experiences, especially for wallets, explorers, and dApps that process thousands of calls per second.
WASM: Expanding the Smart Contract Engine
WASM upgrades focused on both capability and safety. Contracts now benefit from stricter validation, better memory handling, and expanded libraries. The build process with sc-meta produces clearer outputs, giving developers direct insight into how code compiles and executes.
These improvements translate into faster debugging and safer deployments. Teams gain the confidence to attempt more ambitious applications, knowing the engine behind them grows stronger with each release.
Tooling: Lowering the Barrier to Build
Tooling evolved to match the pace of protocol and runtime changes. SDK-dApp v5 introduced a framework-agnostic approach, so developers can integrate MultiversX in React, Vue, Angular, or plain JavaScript without friction. CLI updates made wallet management, contract deployment, and testing more streamlined.
Builders now move from zero to production faster. The toolchain feels modern, accessible, and built for shipping.
The Engine of Growth
Each of these layers feeds the others. A faster protocol gives APIs more responsiveness. A more capable WASM runtime creates demand for better tooling. Improved tooling accelerates adoption of protocol upgrades. This cycle compounds release after release, creating momentum across the entire stack.
For developers, every release makes the foundation stronger. Applications gain speed, stability, and clarity, so focus shifts away from infrastructure and toward product innovation.
For the ecosystem, shipping is our commitment. Each release builds on the last, creating steady momentum and reinforcing the system as a whole. This is how we make MultiversX more resilient and more rewarding for everyone building and using it.
MultiversX moves forward as one system. Protocol, APIs, WASM, and tooling evolve together, turning relentless shipping into relentless progress.
