Big staking changes are coming with Zilliqa 2.0

On Zilliqa 2.0, SSNs will be replaced by a full Proof-of-Stake system that is more efficient and decentralised. Under this new system, stakers play an active role in network security and should make a considered decision around which validator to delegate their stake to.

For a full breakdown on how staking is changing in Zilliqa 2.0, read our recent blog post.

AI agents have arrived on Zilliqa

January was a busy month for the AI space, and Zilliqa has been right there in the mix with other major networks in unlocking tools for AI agents and developers.
