According to PANews, Parity Technologies, the parent company of Polkadot, has released its roadmap for 2025, highlighting several significant developments.
The roadmap outlines enhancements in smart contracts, with Asset Hub set to support EVM and Solidity, while PVM will offer a lightweight, secure, and scalable solution. In terms of scalability, a multi-core architecture is introduced to increase capacity and meet the growing on-chain demands.
The upgrade to XCM v5 aims to elevate cross-chain messaging interoperability to new heights. Additionally, a unified address format will be implemented for Polkadot and all Rollups, simplifying and streamlining operations.
User experience improvements include a reduction in the waiting time for DOT unlocking. Furthermore, DOT will be used as a universal fee token, enabling fee payments within Rollups and positioning DOT as a universal fee token for Web3.
The roadmap also introduces the JAM SDK, a new toolset for developers to easily build scalable services. Lastly, SAFROLE technology will leverage zkSNARK technology for block production, optimizing performance.
