Zilliqa has transitioned to its 2.0 version, marking a major protocol overhaul with full EVM compatibility, enabling Ethereum-based applications to run on its network. The upgrade introduces a modular six-pillar architecture, including Proof-of-Stake consensus, customizable x-shards, cross-chain communication, and revised tokenomics for sustainability. Interim CEO Alexander Zahnd emphasized Zilliqa 2.0’s focus on trust, transparency, and technical excellence, positioning it as both institution-ready and developer-friendly. The network’s roadmap includes smart accounts and zero-knowledge features for compliance use cases. Following a six-month test phase (Aventurine), Zilliqa 2.0 now supports tokenized assets, regulated DeFi, digital identity, and fintech infrastructure. Staking improvements aim to attract early adopters, with initial integrations like LTIN and deBridge’s USDC support. ZIL traded at $0.0107 post-launch.
