JUST IN. MULTIVERSX UNLOCKS POST-QUANTUM SECURITY FOUNDATIONS Security is entering a fundamentally new era. I've written about the accelerating threat landscape, and why formal methods are approaching a golden age. Mathematical guarantees are becoming necessities, not luxuries. Quantum computing adds another existential dimension to this reality. The stakes are extraordinary. Cryptography underpins trillions in financial transactions, the digital identities of billions, and the critical infrastructure on which modern civilization depends. Banks. Governments. Financial markets. Global communication networks. Virtually every institution on earth rests its security guarantees on this single safety-critical layer. If this breaks, everything built on it breaks with it. And the threshold for breaking these guarantees is falling faster than expected. Consider that in March, Google Quantum AI published a striking finding: the estimated quantum computing resources required to break 256-bit elliptic-curve cryptography had fallen by roughly 20-fold. From millions of physical qubits to fewer than 500,000, with attacks potentially executable in minutes on sufficiently advanced machines. A non-trivial shift in the engineering assumptions underlying digital security. And one that doesn't account for future breakthroughs in mathematics, algorithms, or hardware. The implication is substiatial. The window to prepare may be shorter than the time required to make the transition. This is why the transition cannot begin when the threat arrives. It must begin years before. Today, MultiversX takes an important step toward that future, laying the cryptographic foundations for accounts to migrate toward post-quantum security. A deliberate engineering path to close the gap between the security the world relies on today, and the security it will need tomorrow. All this must be engineered today. With urgency and intention.

A few notes, only for some crypto people. If you’re not in crypto, please keep scrolling. Nothing to see here. 1. Is Supernova live and delivered? YES. After years of work, it’s live. It works. It’s delivered. 2. Does this change your life? Yes and no. Yes, if you’re building something cool and know how to find users. No, if you're not looking to building anything. 3. Does the Finance Computer use MultiversX? YES. Does it use EGLD? Yes. 4. Is the Finance Computer a product for crypto people? Another thing for crypto people to generously bless with their omniscient wisdom? No. It’s not built for crypto people. Their omniscient wisdom, fortunately, doesn’t apply here. :) 5. Will the Finance Computer spend every day talking about crypto? No. Plain and simple. This is a distinct B2B distribution product. It targets businesses, not crypto users. It speaks their language, solves their problems, and focuses on delivering a service they actually want to use. Less explaining crypto. More of making money actually work better. 6. Now that Supernova is live, will there be new use cases? YES. That’s precisely the point. The Finance Computer is a new interface for bringing these capabilities into the real world. Different audience. Different language. Different distribution. Same underlying rails. 7. Will there be announcements and partnerships? YES. 8. When when when, sirs? Can we have everything today? No. Not everything today. During next week and September, we’ll start sharing the first business use cases. Something merchants and companies can use in a simple way. Beyond that, we’ll have some focused workshops around what the Finance Computer can actually unlock for businesses. Simple language. Clear benefits. Clear next steps. Use cases businesses can use today. 9. Do we have strategic use cases that validate the Finance Computer and meaningfully accelerate momentum? YES. Some very interesting ones. That is the entire point of the finance computer. Let those be cooked. We announce them when they are shipped, or just ready. 10. So when do we get all the information? At the right time. What I can say is this: this quarter will be defining for both the Finance Computer and MultiversX from a business adoption and real-world use case standpoint. We have shipped a massive infrastructure upgrade, with a completely new interface, that speaks a different language for the business world.  Taking that further is the focus now. Crawl, walk, run. 11. Isn't it unprofessional or impolite to block trolls who fill my posts and timeline with NPC rubbish? No. We worked for two years on Supernova. Actually, much longer. We set out to deliver an extremely difficult technical milestone, and we delivered it. Together with the entire team, I am very proud of that milestone. We now stand at the very frontier of performance, on the right ground, with a clear suite of money services ready for the business world. So yes, trolls will disappear from my timeline. Better for everyone that way. In computer science, we have a technical term for this. It’s called garbage collection. Works surprisingly well, highly recommended. :) 12. Are we here to solve all the world's problems? No. We’re here to build a great product and deliver it. Take what is useful. Build on it. Adapt it. Move forward. That’s it. 13. But but but, isn’t this supposed to be for everyone? No. Not everything needs to be for everyone. What we are building stands for something specific. A better way of accessing, moving and programming money. If it resonates with you, and you need it, great. Come build, use it, contribute, push it forward. If it doesn’t, also great. Life is short. Find something else that does. 14. One final thing. Crypto, generally, has gotten so toxic that it feels more and more like an autoimmune disease, the body eating itself from the inside. We are in the process of treating that toxicity. Changing the focus, applying more effort on money used in the real world, communicating to the right distribution target, and spending less time on things that are clearly misaligned. Simple steps can go a long way. That’s the direction. /end of professional rant :) —------ Ps. That said, for the rest of the cool people here, the Finance Computer makes things simple for real world money movement adoption. It abstracts rocket science technology, and makes things just work. Next week we are sharing some simple use cases that enable businesses to take this product and use it. It also enables you as an individual to find businesses you are close to, or love, deliver this to them, and potentially make some money as they adopt it. Anyway. With these milestones delivered, and the new Finance Computer unveiled, we have officially entered the adoption phase.

SUPERNOVA IS LIVE AND DELIVERED! After all these years, and all the work that went into it, I almost can’t believe I can finally say this out loud, *Supernova is fully live.* (Bears repeating every single day for the next 30 days, and just taking it in) And with it, we introduced the Finance Computer. A bold, categorically different, and remarkably simple product. Built on a radical idea: brands, businesses, agents, and robots don’t want more financial complexity. They simply want a better way to access, move, and program money. One connection. Financial superpowers. This is a B2B and B2M product. And the simpler we can make it, the more powerful it becomes. At first, this may feel like a narrative violation to some people in crypto, but then an important realization comes. This product is not built for crypto people. It is built to strike a chord with the real world. Businesses that want money to move instantly. Brands that want financial capabilities embedded directly into their products. Agents and robots that need to transact on their own. All through one simple interface. Regulated. Secure. Global. A new category of machine-ready finance is here, now. Money, capital, assets, and markets moving around the world in a fraction of a second. Open and live 24/7. Programmable by default. Gradually, becoming accessible to anyone, anywhere. This is what the Finance Computer makes possible.

So, what is the finance computer actually? A simplified picture worth 1000 words. For brands, businesses, and machines.

After more than 2 years of efforts, upgrades, fixes, discoveries by many many talented people in the team, SUPERNOVA IS NOW DELIVERED AND LIVE! Enormous step forward for the ecosystem today. Capital at machine speed.
