The Zilliqa 2.0 Developer Portal

Welcome to the developer documentation for Zilliqa 2.0, a fast-finality, scalable blockchain protocol. Zilliqa 2.0 features a native EVM execution layer, supporting standard EVM development tools and wallets while also retaining a custom execution layer based on the Scilla smart contract language.

Getting started

The Roadmap

For an overview of the features and capabilities introduced in Zilliqa 2.0, please visit the roadmap website, where you can also find a list of development milestones.

The Whitepaper

Zilliqa 2.0 is based on 2 years of research into cutting-edge blockchain technology. To learn more about the design of the Zilliqa 2.0 protocol, read the whitepaper.

Core protocol

At the current stage of Zilliqa 2.0 development, the core protocol is available to test via the Jasper proto-testnet. To achieve the best possible performance, we decided to re-implement our entire protocol in Rust.

Proto-testnet

The proto-testnet exists as the first implementation of the Zilliqa 2.0 consensus mechanism, which comprises Proof-of-Stake validator selection paired with Pipelined Fast-HotStuff for fast and efficient transaction processing.
