Zilliqa Monthly Newsletter - December 2024

Good afternoon, here are the highlights for the Zilliqa ecosystem for December 2024.

Aventurine release for Zilliqa 2.0 launched

We’ve successfully deployed the Aventurine proto-testnet and proto-mainnet, marking the final major milestone before Zilliqa 2.0 mainnet launch. Aventurine serves as a powerful testbed for developers to explore new features before the full mainnet release.

To learn more, read our post on the Zilliqa blog and catch our Ecosystem Talks session with House of Chimera.

Preparing for Zilliqa 2.0 Mainnet

The full Zilliqa 2.0 mainnet release—Agate—is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. This gives development teams the time they need to test their applications and ensure they run smoothly on the new protocol before they are switched over to Zilliqa 2.0 mainnet.

This event closed out the busy 2024 calendar for Zilliqa, with the team’s attention now squarely aimed at delivering Agate, the mainnet release of the Zilliqa 2.0 blockchain in Q1 2025.
