Zilliqa 2.0 Weekly Progress Update - May 12th:

🧪 The resumed testing of reward claiming has confirmed that very large Scilla transactions can still lead to network stalls under specific conditions. This behaviour reinforces previous findings from testing on proto-mainnet, and extending the p2p timeout did not entirely fix the issue.

🔍 The core engineering team has identified several mitigation strategies to address the issue above. Each approach requires further validation through targeted testing to ensure network stability and performance.

📆 As a result, the Zilliqa 2.0 launch timeline has been adjusted and the launch will be postponed by around two weeks. We will share the updated block numbers at which the legacy testnet and mainnet will stop processing transactions soon.

We remain committed to a secure and stable rollout of Zilliqa 2.0 and thank you for your continued patience and support.
