PoS Consensus
Zilliqa shifts from PoW + pBFT to Proof‑of‑Stake. This means faster, greener, more cost-effective transactions. Validators and delegators now earn rewards based on staking.
X‑Shards
New “X‑Shards” operate as mini-blockchains within the network. They boost throughput while keeping security intact.

@zilliqa nice, so do we now claim our rewards? as this was meant to be done weeks ago but things kept being pushed back. Then we can unstake before jun 23 and then restake when zilliqa 2 is completely live?

Cross‑Chain Friendly
Native EVM compatibility and a Universal Cross‑Chain Broker enable easy bridges and swaps across blockchains.
Smart Accounts & Light Clients
Account abstraction brings programmability to wallets. Light clients operate without needing full node storage, ideal for mobile and lightweight setups.
PoS‑Driven Tokenomics
Staking rewards adjust based on network participation and transaction fees. This aims to balance network growth with token value.

The Aventurine testnet allowed early staking trials, both liquid and non‑liquid.
Agate phase now prepares for full production deployment. Mainnet and staking reopen shortly.
