According to TechFlow, the Zilliqa network announced the release of the white paper and roadmap for Zilliqa 2.0, which will be deployed on the mainnet later this year.

This upgrade marks a major evolution of the Zilliqa network, bringing innovative features such as new sharding architecture x-shards, proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, and cross-chain communication.

Zilliqa 2.0 aims to provide an efficient, scalable, decentralized and secure blockchain, while supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts, providing more flexible options for developers and enterprises. The migration of the mainnet to Zilliqa 2.0 will retain the historical account status and will not affect the dApps running on the network.
