Zilliqa Announcement

🚨 X-Bridge Security Incident - Update

We are actively investigating the recent security incident affecting zETH and zBSC tokens on X-Bridge and subsequently impacting the ZIL/zETH pool on ZilSwap. At this stage, our team is working on a recovery plan to mitigate the impact on token holders and ZilSwap users.

We want to assure the community that any measures implemented to address this exploit will honour existing bridged token contracts and prioritise reimbursement for those who provided liquidity to the ZIL/zETH pool on ZilSwap.

As a precautionary measure, we strongly advise against swapping zETH on ZilSwap and urge all users to withdraw their liquidity from the ZIL/zETH pool immediately. X-Bridge operations remain suspended until further notice.

We are contacting police and relevant authorities to this matter. If the perpetrator chooses to return the funds in the next 48 hours, we will drop this investigation and award them 5% of the returned funds as a bounty payment.

Any independent party who helps us to identify and recover the funds lost due to this exploit will be awarded a bounty of 10% of funds recovered.

We appreciate your patience and vigilance. A detailed post-mortem report will be shared once our investigation is complete.

🚨Security Incident Update:

We have identified a security incident affecting X-Bridge, and our team is actively investigating the situation.

As a precaution, we have temporarily suspended all bridge operations to prevent further impact. We strongly advise users to refrain from interacting with the bridge until further notice.

Our investigation is underway, and we are diligently assessing the exploit while working to recover any affected funds. We remain committed to providing timely updates as more information becomes available.

User safety and fund security are our highest priorities. In response, we are implementing enhanced security measures to mitigate future incidents.

A comprehensive post-mortem report will be shared once our investigation is complete.

Preliminary findings indicate that approximately 120 ETH has been compromised in this exploit.

Note - As a precaution, please DO NOT swap any zETH on ZilSwap at this time and remove any liquidity you have in a zETH pool.

Big staking changes are coming with Zilliqa 2.0

On Zilliqa 2.0, SSNs will be replaced by a full Proof-of-Stake system that is more efficient and decentralised. Under this new system, stakers play an active role in network security and should make a considered decision around which validator to delegate their stake to.

For a full breakdown on how staking is changing in Zilliqa 2.0, read our recent blog post.

AI agents have arrived on Zilliqa

January was a busy month for the AI space, and Zilliqa has been right there in the mix with other major networks in unlocking tools for AI agents and developers.

GOAT (Great Onchain Agent Toolkit), the first open-source framework for connecting AI agents to on-chain applications, now supports the Zilliqa network. We also announced that ElizaOS now supports the Zilliqa blockchain.

A couple of AI agents have already made their home in the Zilliqa community - check out Ava Stallion and Taco cat.

Completed migration of ZilBridge to X-Bridge

January saw the migration from ZilBridge to X-Bridge completed, with all supported token pairs moved over the new EVM-native platform.

Read more about the migration from ZilBridge to X-Bridge.

AMAs and partnerships

The Winners Circle held an AMA on the future of its $HRSE token, exploring everything from the token’s growing utility to an upcoming new game.

January also saw Zilliqa announce a new partnership with Request Finance, offering businesses operating on the scalable and easy-to-use Zilliqa network a more efficient way to manage finances.

An exciting year ahead

With the mainnet launch of Zilliqa 2.0 fast approaching, our team is focused on finalising the proto-mainnet to ensure a seamless transition with the launch of Agate: https://blog.zilliqa.com/zilliqa-monthly-newsletter-january-2025/

Stay up to date with the latest news by following us on X and subscribing to the Zilliqa blog.

With the upcoming launch of Zilliqa 2.0, staking will shift to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), improving security, efficiency, and decentralisation. Here’s what you need to know:

➡️ The old staking system relies on Staked Seed Nodes (SSNs), which operate under a permissioned system and require a minimum stake of 10M $ZIL.

➡️Zilliqa 2.0 replaces miners with PoS validators that stake ZIL as collateral. This enhances decentralisation, reduces costs, and improves efficiency.

➡️Staking on Zilliqa 2.0 will have two components:
✔️ A deposit contract for anyone to become a validator
✔️ Delegation contracts for users to stake ZIL with validators

➡️A new staking portal will make delegation simple. Users can choose between:
✔️ Non-liquid staking – manual reward withdrawals
✔️ Liquid staking – tradable tokens that accrue rewards

➡️Next steps for stakers and validators:
✔️ New validators must run a node and stake $ZI
✔️Delegators will need to move to new contracts
✔️A migration guide is coming soon!

Ever wondered how AI will buy stuff?🤔

Robots can’t use credit cards because they can’t pass the security checks. But they can use the blockchain.

AI agents allow you to elevate your brand with 24/7 active social media profiles powered by AI, which when seamlessly integrated with the blockchain supercharge your online presence and offer an easy way to get users into the world of Web3.

We’re excited to share that ElizaOS, the market leading AI Agent framework, now supports the Zilliqa blockchain via the GOAT framework for onchain actions, allowing AI agents built with Eliza to transact on our network.

The next era of digital engagement and onboarding for blockchains is here, and Zilliqa is at the cutting edge.

Check out Ava Stallion and Tacocat to take a look at how AI agents are bringing new, intent-driven ways to engage.

What is Proof-of-Stake (PoS)?

With Zilliqa 2.0, we're introducing Proof-of-Stake (PoS)—a faster, more efficient consensus mechanism for the next evolution of our blockchain.

Here’s how it works:

✅ Validators stake $ZIL as collateral to propose blocks and earn rewards from transaction fees—no mining required!
✅ It’s energy-efficient, scalable, and maintains strong security by making attacks costly for malicious actors.

Why the shift? PoS outperforms traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) by consuming less energy while enabling a faster, more decentralised network.

Learn more about PoS and how it powers Zilliqa 2.0: https://blog.zilliqa.com/what-is-proof-of-stake-pos/

🤖ICYMI: AI Agents are coming to Zilliqa!

The GOAT framework for connecting AI agents to on-chain apps now works with Zilliqa, unlocking new opportunities for everything from onboarding to DeFAI.

A few AI Agents are already live on the blockchain - Ava Stallion, Tacocat.

Attention Zilliqa Stakers! 🔈

As part of the recently passed proposal through decentralised governance, all SSN operators are required to set their commission rate to 8%.

The following operators have not yet adjusted their rate:

▶️Huobi
▶️Nodamatics
▶️EZIL

⚠️Please Note: These operators will not earn staking rewards until they comply with the proposal. We recommend avoiding moving your staked $ZIL to these operators, as their rewards will be paused until their rates are updated.

ZIL Halving Proposal - 11 Days Left! ⛏

$gZIL holders, don't miss your chance to shape the future of $ZIL!

Have your say on the proposal to introduce a halving mechanism for mining rewards as we transition to #ProofofStake

This landmark proposal reached 77% of the required quorum in just 3 days! Let's push for the rest in record time 💪

Cast your vote, and make your voice count!

https://zilstream.com/vote/gzil/Qmao3mCo5AatGfJgHjv2FCCUKRmnv75YVYVZZPYMm23bQ1

#Zilam!

Zilliqa is taking a significant step towards a more decentralized and secure future.

We're proposing a halving of mining rewards to incentivize the transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS).

Benefits of this move include:

1️⃣ Faster PoS adoption: Creates urgency for stakeholders to prioritize the transition.

2️⃣ Reduced PoW reliance: Minimizes disruption and facilitates smoother PoS integration.

3️⃣ Ecosystem growth: The reallocated resources will fund Innovation, Community engagement, and potentially stabilize the ZIL token price.

This is where it all started for us, the place we first introduced Zilliqa as a pioneer in the blockchain space. We are excited to be back in Singapore, sharing our landmark progress on the rollout of Zilliqa 2.0 and our new partnership with EMURGO, which will see us foster enhanced interoperability between the Zilliqa and Cardano networks. 🌉

Together, we're building on a new vision that embraces the shift in Web3 mentality, moving away from walled gardens to a cross-chain ecosystem that drives mass adoption. 🌍

We are delighted to announce that Zilliqa Group has entered a strategic partnership with EMURGO, a founding entity of the Cardano blockchain to enhance interoperability between the Zilliqa and Cardano ecosystems.

This partnership will advance blockchain interoperability, liquidity, and decentralised governance through the implementation of a bridge between the Cardano and Zilliqa protocols to enhance the Web3 user experience across both platforms.

This collaboration enables new possibilities for both networks and supports the potential reach of the upcoming Zilliqa 2.0 network upgrade, connecting the Zilliqa ecosystem to a wider pool of users and developers.

The Jasper proto-testnet for Zilliqa 2.0 is now officially live!

We're thrilled to announce the achievement of the first milestone in the Zilliqa 2.0 roadmap. This marks a major step forward as we introduce a new Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism designed for maximum speed and efficiency.

This launch is a golden opportunity for new validators and businesses looking to build on a flexible and user-friendly blockchain.

Validators can join and sync with the network to prepare for staking ZIL and earning rewards on the upcoming Zilliqa 2.0 mainnet, while developers can experiment with building dApps on the new protocol and benefit from improved performance and EVM compatibility.
