Case Study

MultiversX — Strategic PR and Ecosystem Visibility

Overview

Who is MultiversX

MultiversX is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built for scalability, speed and energy efficiency through Adaptive State Sharding. It has steadily gained traction by focusing on user-friendly dApps and enterprise integration. With the launch of the xPortal super app, the protocol positioned itself as a contender for mainstream adoption by bridging Web3 and traditional finance. In 2024 MultiversX set out to strengthen its ecosystem with tools such as xPortal while pursuing strategic partnerships with enterprises and fintech platforms. Success required heightened visibility in traditional media and high-profile public events such as X-Day.

Strategy & Growth

Challenges

In 2023 MultiversX undertook a complete rebrand from Elrond, a move that demanded a clear and compelling narrative to communicate its expanded vision. STORM Partners worked with the team at every step. By 2024 the priority was to consolidate that transformation—driving ecosystem adoption, educating users about xPortal and maintaining developer engagement—while competing in a crowded blockchain landscape and reinforcing its position as a leader in Web3 innovation.

Approach

STORM Partners collaborated weekly with the ecosystem, business development and marketing departments to shape and execute a coordinated public-relations strategy:

Distributed press releases and authored thought-leadership articles for both Web3 and mainstream outlets

Supported the first demo day by preparing startups to pitch VCs and the media

Event & Partnership Management

Managed eight media partnerships and on-site press coordination for the flagship X-Day event

Results
