Zilliqa 1.0 wrapped up at block 4,770,087. The final new transaction processed at block 4,769,950. This marks the end of the first chapter in Zilliqa’s journey.

On June 23, 2025, Zilliqa will begin its phased migration to version 2.0. The new mainnet is expected to launch just days after. This marks a major network overhaul.

What Zilliqa 2.0 Brings – Agate Phase

Scilla ↔ EVM interoperability
Developers can now build using both Zilliqa’s Scilla and Ethereum-compatible Solidity.
~2-second block time
Expect fast transactions and near-instant finality.
New staking portal
A streamlined interface promises smarter yet simpler staking.
Seamless migration
User accounts, contracts, block history—everything moves to 2.0 without manual steps.

The Big Upgrades

PoS Consensus
Zilliqa shifts from PoW + pBFT to Proof‑of‑Stake. This means faster, greener, more cost-effective transactions. Validators and delegators now earn rewards based on staking.

X‑Shards
New “X‑Shards” operate as mini-blockchains within the network. They boost throughput while keeping security intact.

Cross‑Chain Friendly
Native EVM compatibility and a Universal Cross‑Chain Broker enable easy bridges and swaps across blockchains.

Smart Accounts & Light Clients
Account abstraction brings programmability to wallets. Light clients operate without needing full node storage, ideal for mobile and lightweight setups.

PoS‑Driven Tokenomics
Staking rewards adjust based on network participation and transaction fees. This aims to balance network growth with token value.

Migration Path

Zero user action: all accounts and balances auto-migrate.
Staking transition:
1. Claim pending rewards.
2. Unstake with no delay.
3. Connect wallet via MetaMask or other EVM wallets.
4. Stake on the new portal.

The Aventurine testnet allowed early staking trials, both liquid and non‑liquid.

Technical Milestones

June 2024: 2.0 roadmap released.
Sept 2024: Jasper proto-testnet went live.
Dec 2024: Aventurine proto-mainnet launched.
Apr–May 2025: Hardforks fixed performance bottlenecks and CPU-heavy issues.

Agate phase now prepares for full production deployment. Mainnet and staking reopen shortly.
