✨ It’s #ChainWatchThursday, and what’s new with @zilliqa as the network continues reinforcing its infrastructure and ecosystem coordination? 🤔
⚙️ Zilliqa recently completed its scheduled v0.21.0 mainnet upgrade focused on validator infrastructure, network resilience, and operational efficiency. The release introduced state pruning, RANDAO support, deposit contract upgrades, and more flexible checkpoint versioning, as the network continues to refine its validator architecture and protocol performance.
📊 Ecosystem transparency is also improving. Zilliqa’s tokenomics are now live on https://t.co/d0upg7ey6o, providing a public breakdown of allocation structure, vesting schedules, unlock status, protocol revenue, and staking emissions, giving the community a clearer view into the network’s long-term economic design.
🏗 On the ecosystem side, GZIL Collective is reviewing the Season 1 grants framework before moving into Season 2. The review focuses on lessons learned from the first cohort of funded projects as the community treasury initiative prepares its next phase of ecosystem support.
The broader direction remains consistent: Zilliqa is focusing on strengthening core infrastructure, improving transparency around network economics, and refining the frameworks that support long-term ecosystem growth.
