Tezos Unveils Tezos X Roadmap to Revolutionize Blockchain
Tezos, an open source software Blockchain platform, introduced Tezos Xa suite of technology updates intended to improve the performance, composability, and interoperability of the blockchain.
The two-year development plan, co-written by development teams at Nomadic Labs, TriliTech, and Functori, proposes a radical change by splitting transaction execution into a separate “canonical rollup” that supports multiple programming languages.
Tezos X and Smart Rollup
Tezos X details how the Tezos core blockchain will serve as the foundational layer for consensus and resolution, while transaction execution will be handled by the canonical rollup.
It is hoped that this will facilitate atomic transactions through smart contracts written in different programming languages and improve the versatility of the platform.
Tezos developers have emphasized that expanding the network is a priority from 2022.
At the heart of these efforts are Smart rollupsa scaling technology This allows a second dedicated layer to execute transactions while ensuring that consensus and settlement are maintained by the layer 1 blockchain.
The roadmap also highlights the introduction of a dedicated data availability layer on the Tezos mainnet.
Mirror Ethereum’s scaling initiatives
The strategy has similarities with the current Ethereum (ETH) scaling initiatives, where transaction execution is transferred to auxiliaries Level-2 (L2) networks.
However, Tezos features a single rollup that handles transaction execution, rather than multiple L2 networks.
This design is expected to expand the network while maintaining its decentralization, with interconnected nodes taking on various roles to provide a smoother user experience.
According to Tezos blog post:
“In theory, one rollup is all that is needed to meet the requirements of all but the most extreme use cases. This is what Tezos massively, all the activity on the Tezos network.”
Canonical rollup is expected to be implemented by 2026, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the Tezos blockchain.
This ambitious plan underscores Tezos’ commitment to innovation and its determination to reclaim its position as a leading smart contract platform.
