KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The Jasper proto-testnet phase for Zilliqa 2.0 has concluded, paving the way for the Aventurine proto-mainnet and proto-testnet.
- Developers are encouraged to transition to the Aventurine networks, which will import the history of the current Zilliqa testnet and mainnet.
- Aventurine will introduce improvements over Jasper, facilitating a seamless transition to Zilliqa 2.0.
- The Zilliqa team acknowledges community and validator contributions, encouraging participation in the upcoming Aventurine launch.
The Jasper proto-testnet phase for Zilliqa 2.0 has officially concluded, marking a significant milestone in the blockchain’s development roadmap. As of November 29, 2024, the Jasper testnet will be sunsetted, paving the way for the next phase: the Aventurine proto-mainnet and proto-testnet.
Users and developers are encouraged to transition their testing and development activities to the Aventurine networks once they become available. The Aventurine release will import the history of the current Zilliqa testnet and mainnet, providing a comprehensive testbed for developers as the groundwork is laid for a full mainnet migration to Zilliqa 2.0.
Transition to Aventurine Networks
The Jasper testnet served as the first public testnet for Zilliqa 2.0, offering a platform to experiment with the new Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism and enabling developers to test their decentralized applications (dApps) on the native Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) network. The upcoming Aventurine networks are expected to launch technically next week, followed by a public release, although this timeline may be adjusted based on final tests by the core engineering team.
Aventurine will introduce several improvements over the Jasper release, setting the stage for a seamless transition to Zilliqa 2.0 with the subsequent Agate release. The new proto-testnet and proto-mainnet will serve as robust environments for further development and testing.
Community and Validator Participation
The Zilliqa team has expressed gratitude to the community for their contributions during the Jasper phase, highlighting the importance of feedback and participation in refining the project’s vision. Validators who participated in network consensus on Jasper are also acknowledged, with encouragement for both existing and new validators to join the proto-mainnet with the Aventurine launch.
For those requiring assistance during the transition, the Zilliqa team is available for support. Further discussions and updates can be found on platforms such as Discord and Telegram. More details about the transition and upcoming phases can be found here.
