MultiversX: First Look

MultiversX is a Layer 1 distributed transactional computation protocol that relies on a sharded Proof-of-Stake architecture.

Combining three types of sharding; state, transactions and network, to produce a solution called “Adaptive State Sharding,” MultversX improves communication among shards and increases network performance through parallel processing. The network is built on WASM and carries its own Virtual Machine called the MultiversX Virtual Machine. This allows code to be written in C++, C, Rust typescript and compiled into WASM. Learn more about MultiversX in our First Look article.

Staking Overview

Staking tokens helps decentralize, secure, and maintain the health of the network. Staking provides a steady stream of rewards, independent of underlying token prices.

Staking your tokens is essential for the operation of the protocol. In return, your tokens allow you to earn new issuance (also known as inflation) subsidies, and transaction fees generated from the network.
