Today, we're discussing an exciting development in the world of blockchain technology: the launch of Zilliqa 2.0's Aventurine proto-mainnet. This is a significant step toward the full launch of Zilliqa 2.0, an enhanced version of the existing Zilliqa blockchain platform.
What makes Aventurine so important?
- Aventurine is a robust testing environment introducing several improvements over the previous Jasper release.
- It lays the groundwork for a smooth transition to Zilliqa 2.0 when the mainnet launches with the Agate release.
Aventurine features two key networks:
An upgraded version of the existing Jasper proto-testnet: This version imports Jasper's historical state.
A new proto-mainnet: This network imports the historical state of the current Zilliqa mainnet.
The proto-mainnet will integrate both existing and upcoming dApps:
- Existing dApps: Such as PlunderSwap DEX and the Safe multi-signature wallet.
- New dApps: To be integrated after Aventurine's launch.
Key features of Aventurine:
- Interoperability between Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the Scilla smart contract language: Enabling Zilliqa fungible tokens to function as EVM-compatible tokens.
- Tokens from major Zilliqa dApps available on the proto-mainnet: Including $FPS, $XCAD, $XSGD, $HRSE, and $SEED.
- Bridging capabilities: Allowing these tokens to be bridged from the proto-mainnet to BSC after Aventurine's launch.
- Delegated staking contracts: These can be tested by validators and include support for liquid staking.
- A new staking portal: Set to launch alongside the Zilliqa 2.0 mainnet with the Agate release.
Aventurine represents a major leap forward for Zilliqa, and in this podcast episode, we’ll dive deeper into the details and its impact on the future of blockchain technology.
