This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. Coinbase Ventures-backed Supra offers $1 million bounty to beat its parallel EVM execution engine, by Chainwire. Zug, Switzerland, November 14, 2025, Chainwire, Supra, the first layer one blockchain built for automatic defy, auto FI, via full vertical integration, Iceproud to announce an expansion of its Supra EVM Beta Bounty. CEO and co-founder Joshua Tobkin has committed up to $1 million worth of his own dollar Supra tokens as a personal bounty to any developer or research team that can demonstrate a faster, verifiably correct EVM parallel execution engine than Supra BTM, the core execution

engine powering Supra EVM. The personal bounty, touted as the Supra EVM speed challenge, is offered in addition to an ongoing $40,000 USDC performance-based reward offered by the third. Foundation. To date, no participating team has surpassed the benchmarks established by Supra BTM, which remains the top performer in public tests against all known EVM parallel solutions, including Monad, one of the more optimized projects in the high-performance EVM space. Greater than, I am betting $1 million of my own tokens that no one can beat Supra, said greater than co-founder and CEO Joshua Tobkin. Supra is built on transparency. We claim to greater than be the

fastest, so we are aiming to prove it in public. And if someone can greater than demonstrate a superior execution engine under clear conditions, I will honor greater than that outcome directly. Addressing the core bottleneck in blockchain S-C-A-L-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y while consensus protocols, data availability layers, and Oracle infrastructure have all seen significant improvements in recent years, transaction execution remains a limiting factor for scaling decentralized applications. Safe and deterministic parallel execution within the Ethereum virtual machine, EVM, ISP articularily challenging, yet essential for enabling low latency defy, real-time games, and AI-driven autonomous agents.

Supra EVM, powered by Supra BTM, block transactional memory, addresses this challenge with a conflict specification-aware architecture that reduces overhead, anticipates transaction collisions and schedules execution based on statically analyzed dependency graphs. Benchmark results. Superior performance over Monad Supra BTM has been benchmarked on 10,000 Ethereum mainette blocks and tested head-to-head against Monad's two-phase execution. 2PE approach using identical commodity hardware, 16 core AMD 4564 PCPU with 192 gigabytes RAM. Results showed Supra BTM delivering.

5 to 1, 7 times higher throughput than Monad across various workloads, approximately 4 to 7 times speed up over traditional sequential EVM execution. Consistent performance under high conflict conditions typical in defy and arbitrage use cases. The engine's design avoids the need for speculative execution and frequent rollbacks, instead relying on a deterministic scheduling model that is adaptable across varying thread configurations. Greater than, Supra was built from the ground up to integrate execution. execution, consensus, and greater than core infrastructure components into a cohesive framework, said John Jones, CBO greater than and co-founder at Supra. The result is an architecture that

not only delivers greater than performance, but does so in a way that is reproducible and testable against greater than any known parallel EVM engine available today. Challenge Guidelines AND Structure the $1 million token commitment is available to developers or research teams who John produce a faster EVM execution engine under defined test conditions. Entries must be open source, verifiable, and reproducible. The full criteria include processing at least 100,000 consecutive Ethereum Mainet blocks. Executing on commodity hardware with no more than 16 CPU cores. Achieving at least a 15% performance improvement across 4, 8, and 16 thread configurations.

Publishing benchmark results publicly in submitting to community and independent verification. Code must be released under an open source license. and remain accessible for audit. Participants may choose to claim the reward directly, or engage further with Supra's engineering organization to collaborate. Token rewards are from Tobkin's personal allocation, unlocking in 27 investing over two years. The prize is independent of Supra's core operations or treasury. Greater than, this challenge is focused on the core technical issue that continues to

greater than constrain the EVM, Tobkin added. The objective is to find or validate the greater than most. performant execution engine possible. If someone is able to build a greater than better system than what we have achieved at Supra, the industry should greater than recognize it and benefit from it. For full technical documentation, rules and binaries for the Supra EVM beta bounty, users can visit the Bounty's dedicated docs page with in-depth details of the $1 million Super EVM speed challenge available on its dedicated landing page. Supra's technical team has provided a deep dive benchmark report comparing Supra BTN,

and Monad available on their website, while developers interested in nearly Supra EVM access can join the waitlist here. About Supra Supra is the first chain built for automatic defy, auto FI, a novel self-operating automated financial system that also serves as the perfect framework for crypto AI agents, built upon its vertically integrated layer one blockchain with built in high-speed smart contracts, native price oracles, system-level automation and bridgeless cross-chain messaging. Super's vertical stack unlocks all new auto-FI primitives that can generate fair recurring protocol revenue and redistribute it across the ecosystem, reducing reliance on inflationary block rewards entirely over time.

This stack also equips on-chain AI agents with all the tools they need to run a wide variety of powerful defy workflows for users automatically, autonomously, and securely.
