Zilliqa 2.0 isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a launchpad for the future.
✅ The first full rehearsal of a Zilliqa 2.0 network launch has been successfully completed. Additional rehearsals for both the mainnet and testnet are scheduled for the upcoming weekend to further validate system readiness.
🗓 The release of version 0.9.0 has been rescheduled for this week following the discovery of issues during the migration to the new redb database. These are currently being addressed to ensure stability and performance.
🛡️ The Hacken bug bounty program concludes today. Several new reports were submitted yesterday and are under active review by the security team. Relevant findings will be disclosed in accordance with our responsible disclosure process.
🧪 During extensive testing of reward claiming on Zillion, expensive Scilla transactions significantly impacted block production. As observed on the proto-mainnet, such transactions can lead to the temporary stalling of the network. This Scilla-related issue is a significant risk that directly affects the planned mainnet migration date.
⚠️ The current assessment is that the Zilliqa 2.0 mainnet launch may need to be postponed by one week unless a solution to this issue is implemented by the end of this week.
We appreciate the community's continued support and will provide further updates as progress continues.
