According to Odaily, Layer1 blockchain Zilliqa has announced via X that the team has been preparing to launch the Jasper prototype testnet. This testnet supports the Zilliqa 2.0 proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus, aiming to achieve a more secure and efficient network. The Zilliqa 2.0 whitepaper and roadmap have already been officially released, outlining a comprehensive upgrade for the Zilliqa network, which is set to be deployed on the mainnet later this year. Zilliqa 2.0 aims to provide faster finality and better scalability through a new and improved sharding system.
