What is new in Zilliqa 2?
Zilliqa 2 offers faster finality and improved scalability through a new consensus algorithm and an enhanced sharding system. There are many other exciting features in active development. For more information, please visit the Zilliqa blog.
What happens to my existing ZIL and existing dApps?
Zilliqa 2 will be fully compatible with the existing Zilliqa and EVM APIs, ensuring that most dApps should continue to function normally. The state of the chain will remain unchanged, meaning your existing ZIL, tokens and NFTs will continue to exist as before.
Where can I use Zilliqa 2?
We currently have a heavily in-development devnet which stays up-to-date with our latest code changes. Naturally, this means you should expect some instability and occasional state resets. As Zilliqa 2 matures, we will deploy more networks which offer greater stability.
