Zilliqa 6.0.0 Update: The Last of 2019

The update is focused on improving the user interface of the Zilliqa network with the platform developing easier data access and increased block times.

Zilliqa is looking to improve the transaction time on its network by increasing the number of transactions that can be processed at a time. In addition, Zilliqa also looked to find a solution to the problem of accessing data on its mainnet for dApp developers.

One way in which Zilliqa is looking to tackle this issue is through the use of WebSocket protocol. According to the post, the latest upgrade introduces WebSocket protocol into API-servicing nodes, which helps developers to subscribe to specific events leading to a smoother transition than the previous method of polling scheme.

Zilliqa has also added functionality to its smart contracts to enable multiple message smart contracts for developers to properly execute contracts. This means that the number of transactions required to execute smart contracts is greatly reduced.

Lastly, Zillqa has reduced the time needed for blocks generated ahead of the impending launch of its mainnet. The blockchain platform hinted that they had begun work on perfecting a protocol implemented with the upgrade.

It is expected that the blockchain platform would launch its long-awaited mainnet in the early months of 2020.
