Technical Upgrade Window
ARC-0043 Proposal: If the dynamic sharding upgrade is completed by Q2 2025, the TPS is expected to increase to 90+, block time to be reduced to within 10 seconds, and transaction fees to decrease by 90%.
Privacy compliance breakthrough: A confidential payment system in collaboration with Google Cloud has entered testing, which could open the enterprise-level market if it passes financial regulatory review.

Ecological construction attempt
Developer Incentives: A $50 million privacy application incubation fund has supported over 120 on-chain programs, the ZMarket NFT platform has launched for testing, and if a blockbuster application (such as a privacy DEX) emerges, it may activate demand.
Cross-chain interoperability: The asset bridge testnet with Ethereum and Solana is online, attracting external ecosystem users.

Key variables and time nodes

June 2025: The deadline for expanding the validators to 40 nodes; failure to meet this deadline would result in the failure of the expected technical upgrade.
Q3 2025: The implementation of privacy compliance cooperation (such as pilot projects with financial institutions) will determine the prospects for B-end applications.
After 2026: Token inflation enters the tail release phase, and if the ecosystem does not improve, the probability of death rises to over 80%.
