On Friday, the Zilliqa team announced via a blog that the Jasper proto-testnet phase for Zilliqa 2.0 has ended. The team is now focused on the launch of the next phase of the Zilliqa 2.0 roadmap, the Aventurine proto-mainnet and proto-testnet.
The Aventurine release for Zilliqa 2.0 will comprise a new proto-testnet and a proto-mainnet network that will import the history of the current Zilliqa testnet and mainnet to serve as a powerful testbed for developers as Zilliqa lays the groundwork for full mainnet migration to Zilliqa 2.0.
Aventurine will serve as a robust test environment, introducing several improvements over the previous Jasper release and laying essential groundwork for a seamless transition to Zilliqa 2.0 upon mainnet launch with the following Agate release.
