As noted in a blog post on 21 April, the upgrade will go live on 25 April 2023, with notable benefits being full compatibility of Solidity apps and seamless transfer of ZIL tokens across EVM dApps and wallets, including MetaMask.
The upgrade is also set to improve Zilliqa’s speed, scalability as well make it easy for developers to build on the blockchain. Developers will note that fees are multiple times cheaper on Zilliqa than on Ethereum.
Zilliqa price prediction: What next ZIL?
With over $5.5 billion worth of ZIL staked, more than 4.5 million unique addresses and more than 47 million transactions completed, it is clear there has been growth for Zilliqa. Yet there could be new impetus from developers and the community is excited about what EVM compatibility after Zilliqa 2.0 could mean for ZIL price.
The ZIL/USD pair was trading roughly 4% in the green over the past week as a result of the weakness seen over the past 24 hours. In terms of price prediction, breaking higher to the intraday highs in the short term will see fresh buy ZIL pressure that could help bulls target $0.46 and then $0.60.
