Today marks a major milestone as we deploy the Aventurine proto-testnet and proto-mainnet networks—an essential step on the journey to the mainnet rollout of Zilliqa 2.0.
This release brings exciting new features, including:
✔️ EVM-Scilla interoperability: Allowing Zilliqa tokens to function as EVM tokens through ERC-20 wrappers.
✔️ Delegated staking contracts: Test staking with liquid staking support, laying the groundwork for Zilliqa 2.0’s staking portal.
✔️ dApp and token migration: Tokens used in major Zilliqa dApps will be available on the proto-mainnet, and existing dApps will be imported for developers to experiment with.
Zilliqa’s Head of Research, Zoltan Fazekas, says,
“This release is an exciting milestone on the road to Zilliqa 2.0, delivering the final test network ahead of our mainnet launch.”
The groundwork is also being laid for improved interoperability with other networks, as Zilliqa will leverage Wanchain to deploy a strategic cross-chain bridge between the Zilliqa 2.0 and Cardano networks upon the mainnet launch of Zilliqa 2.0.
With validators already onboarding, like LSP’s validator node, Aventurine paves the way for developers, stakers, and builders to prepare for the full potential of Zilliqa 2.0.
