Welcome to MultiversX

At a glance:​

  • What: Sharded Smart Contracts execution platform with a PoS consensus mechanism
  • When: Mainnet live, project started in 2018
  • How: Scales via Adaptive State Sharding, consensus via Secure Proof of Stake
  • Highlights:
    • Performance: 30,000 current TPS, 6s block time, $0.001 tx cost, can scale beyond 100,000 (263,000 TPS in testnet)
    • xPortal money app with progressive security, social recovery, embedded DeFi
    • Tokens (FT, SFT, NFT) embedded into the protocol
    • Developers: royalties - 30% SC gas returned to authors, full IDE, Rust framework with debugger
    • Validators: ~11% APR for running nodes, low system requirements
    • Network setup: 3,200 nodes, 3 shards + Metachain (adaptivity allows throughput to increase with demand)

What is MultiversX?​

MultiversX is a distributed transactional computation protocol that relies on a sharded state architecture and a secure Proof of Stake consensus mechanism. While most other blockchain networks require custom hardware and high energy consumption, MultiversX runs on average computers.

By employing sharding, a method of parallelizing data & transactions processing, MultiversX’s performance will scale up with the number of computers joining the network, reaching more than 100.000 transactions per second while growing increasingly decentralized.

How is MultiversX different?​

The MultiversX network is the first to present a viable solution where all three aspects of sharding - state, network, and transactions - have been implemented at once. Combined with its “Adaptive” component, this novel architecture allows for dynamic network configuration to maintain a high level of security while scaling with demand.

In addition to scaling through sharding, MultiversX also approaches the consensus problem with a mechanism called Secure Proof of Stake, which mitigates potential attack vectors when compared to Proof of Work, while also enabling large throughput and fast execution.

By solving some of the hardest consensus and sharding problems in the blockchain space, MultiversX is able to provide a very high level of performance on a network made of inexpensive computers, resulting in a very low cost per transaction. In addition to performance and cost, MultiversX also stands out through the quality of the developer experience and the resulting boost in usability on the end-user side.
