Last month saw a seminal moment in the history of Zilliqa with the release of the roadmap and whitepaper for Zilliqa 2.0.

With Zilliqa 2.0, we share a vision for an efficient, performant, and easy-to-use blockchain you can shape to your needs - bringing unprecedented flexibility to the world of Web3.

June also saw several other exciting announcements, though, including the launch of Zilliqa Safe and Fireblocks adding support for ZIL to its market-leading asset management platform!

"I am excited to reflect on the transformative developments that marked the last month, headlined by the much-anticipated publication of the whitepaper and roadmap for Zilliqa 2.0," says Zilliqa CEO Matt Dyer. "These and many other updates and announcements made June one of our most exciting months to date while also signalling the beginning of our network's next evolution."

Attention Zilfam!

As a result of unexpected behaviour in Zilliqa's rewards distribution mechanics, the ongoing adjustment to staking rewards has not been reducing inflation by the amount we had predicted.

We have implemented a workaround to correct this issue, which involves setting the staking reward parameter in the contract to the pre-adjustment rate and then manually remitting the difference between the advertised and collected rewards back to the null address.

This will have the effect of reducing inflation as intended while ensuring the rewards received by stakers continue to follow the previously forecasted trend in line with the monthly adjustments.

This change will be implemented with the next planned adjustment to staking rewards, scheduled for May 2, 2024.

? ZilBridge is back online!

Full functionality has been restored to the ZilBridge platform, with all transactions now synchronised and users once again able to bridge tokens at https://zilswap.io/bridge.

We understand that the extended disruption to ZilBridge has been a frustrating experience, and we appreciate the patience shown by the community as we worked with Switcheo Labs and Poly Network to bring the platform back online.

We will shortly publish a root cause analysis that will provide a detailed breakdown of this issue and how it was resolved.

Join Zilliqa Technology CEO Matt Dyer and Head of Business Development Tom Fleetham as they discuss Zilliqa’s pioneering approach to GameFi - our new #Skill2Earn model.

Skill2Earn, an innovative new model for Web3 gaming and entertainment, is transforming the industry by offering an exciting new approach to gameplay rewards.

Traditional Play2Earn games reward gamers for the simple act of playing, but they often struggle with sustainability or lacklustre gameplay.

Skill2Earn challenges this model by prioritising fun and skill. Players in a Skill2Earn game earn rewards for how well they play, not just on time spent playing. This encourages healthy competition, and a sustainable rewards structure.

But Skill2Earn isn't just for gaming. The Winners Circle, an exclusive club for horse racing fans, will use Skill2Earn to reward engagement for viewers of Racing League competitions.

"As we embark on another year together, I am inspired by the growing potential offered by the Zilliqa ecosystem and network," says Zilliqa Blockchain CEO Matt Dyer."

The development of applications like PlunderSwap, Web3War, Ionise, and Avely’s liquid staking make Zilliqa a more exciting space than ever before. I’d like to invite our community, both old and new, to get involved with these new features and applications, and to actively participate in governance."
