Advancing Partisia Blockchain: Four Upgrades Enhancing the Ecosystem

At Partisia Blockchain, our commitment to continuous innovation drives us to enhance usability, security, and adoption. Our latest technical update delivers four key upgrades outlined in our H1 2025 technical roadmap, reinforcing the foundation for greater scalability, developer flexibility, and a seamless user experience. 

These upgrades enhance transparency, efficiency, and developer tooling, strengthening DeFi, enterprise adoption, and beyond. 

Read on to learn more about these upgrades, along with some additional exciting elements of our roadmap planned for the coming months.

4 Key Upgrades Now Live

As part of our H1 2025 Technical Roadmap, the following upgrades have now been completed:

  1. Enabling bridge and MPC movements visibility in the Browser
  2. Add fiat onramp to Partisia’s explorer (Browser) via Transak
  3. Upgradeable smart contracts
  4. Initial contracts for liquid staking.

 

Let’s dive into each of these to understand what they mean for users and developers.

Bridge & MPC Movements Now Visible in Browser

Status: Live in Phase 1
Why It Matters: Enhanced transparency & usability

One of the biggest UX improvements for Partisia Blockchain users is the ability to track BYOC (Bring Your Own Coin) movements directly in the Browser.

Key Benefits:

  • Complete Visibility: Users can now track BYOC activities on their accounts, improving transparency.
  • Single Asset View: A unified BYOC view is available for all coins, making asset tracking easier.
  • Detailed Transaction Insights: Clicking on any asset reveals granular insights into transaction history and movements.

What’s Next?

  • Further UI/UX improvements for smoother navigation and visibility.
  • Integration of gas and transaction details for added transparency.
  • Tracking of MPC token and some additional categories of BYOC movements, including fees earned by node operators, will also be added soon.

Transak Fiat Onramp Now Integrated into Browser

Status: Fully integrated with API Key support
Why It Matters: Seamless fiat-to-crypto access

The integration of Transak into Partisia’s Browser Explorer is a big step toward simplifying onboarding into the Partisia Blockchain ecosystem. Users can now buy MPC directly with fiat, without needing external tools!

How It Works:

  • Buy MPC via the Browser, with network & wallet address auto-filled (when logged in).
  • Minimal manual entry – users complete purchases and are redirected back to the Browser.

Try it out here: 

  1. Go to https://browser.partisiablockchain.com/ and sign in with your wallet.
  2. Click ‘GET MPC’ at the top right of the navigation bar
  3. Select ‘Transak’

 

What’s Next?

  • Refining the onramp flow for a frictionless one-click fiat-to-MPC experience.

Liquid Staking Smart Contracts

Status: Open-sourced for the ecosystem
Why It Matters: Flexible staking, improved liquidity

Liquid staking allows users to stake their assets while maintaining liquidity, a feature that has become a standard in DeFi. With this open-source release, developers and ecosystem contributors can now integrate liquid staking into their applications! 

Key Benefits:

  • Flexible Staking: Users stake tokens while receiving a receipt token (eg. sMPC), allowing for further use across DeFi applications
  • More Liquidity: Unlike traditional staking, funds are not locked.
  • Ecosystem Expansion: Sceptre is already using this contract as the foundation for its liquid staking solution.

What’s Next?

  • The open-source nature means other teams can also build on top of it, increasing adoption within the Partisia ecosystem through expanded DeFi applications.
  • Future iterations could explore multi-party computation (MPC) privacy enhancements for staking.

Upgradeable Smart Contracts Now Supported

Status: Implemented
Why It Matters: Security, flexibility and long-term usability

While upgradable smart contracts have become an industry standard and critical component in modern blockchains, their addition to Partisia Blockchain unlocks significant improvements for developers and enterprises. 

Key Benefits:

  • Bug Fixes & Security Patches: Contracts can now be updated without disrupting users.
  • Feature Enhancements: New functionalities can be added seamlessly without requiring a complete redeployment of the contract.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Enables adaption to regulatory changes without forcing users to migrate.
  • Cost Efficiency: Eliminates the need for fees associated with deploying new contracts.
  • Improved UX: Users continue interacting with the same contract address, even after updates, preventing fragmentation or confusion.

What’s Next?

  • Expanded use cases, including DeFi applications, staking solutions, and enterprise integrations.
  • Further improvements to developer tooling to maximize flexibility and adoption.

Looking Ahead: More Upgrades Coming SOON!

These four enhancements mark a key leap forward in making the Partisia Blockchain ecosystem more accessible, transparent and developer-friendly. 

But, this is just the start. In the coming months, we’re rolling out even more game-changing upgrades to push privacy, performance, and usability to the next level:

Keys & Signing in MPC: Enhancing Security & Privacy

  • Enables secure cryptographic signing using MPC – removing reliance on a single private key.
  • Protects transactions, wallet security, and privacy-preserving smart contracts from exposure.

Gas & Transaction Details: Greater Transparency for Users and Node Operators

  • Track gas fees in real-time to understand transaction costs.
  • Node operators can see detailed earnings breakdowns, improving visibility into rewards.

Smart Contract Staking: Unlocking New DeFi Possibilities

  • Enables staking logic to be built directly into smart contracts.
  • Opens up auto-compounding, reward customization, and new DeFi models.

But, there’s more. Below are a few more items on the roadmap that we’re extremely excited about:

Real MPC Arithmetic: Enhancing Precision and Performance

What is it?

Traditional privacy solutions slow things down – but with Real MPC Arithmetic, speed and privacy no longer need to be a trade-off. Building upon our core MPC technology, this advancement enables faster and more efficient secure computations.

Why you should be paying attention!

  • Up to 1000x faster secure computations, enabling real-time private transactions.
  • Removes delays in privacy-preserving DeFi, allowing for instant confidential transactions.
  • Optimized for high-speed AI models, private financial analysis, and large-scale encrypted data processing.

Think real-time encrypted DeFi, faster private swaps, and scalable enterprise blockchain solutions – all without sacrificing privacy.

Privacy-Preserving AI: Secure AI Without Exposure

What is it?

What if AI could analyze your sensitive data – without ever exposing it? This component of the roadmap will integrate privacy-enhancing mechanisms into AI, allowing for applications that conduct data analysis and machine learning without compromising data confidentiality.

Why you should be paying attention!

  • AI can process financial, medical, and personal data without actually accessing raw information.
  • Enables privacy-first AI models for loan approvals, risk assessments, and medical research
  • Unlocks decentralized AI decision-making without compromising security or compliance.

Get ready for AI with trustless privacy – keeping data confidential while still allowing AI-powered automation.

Decentralized Identity (DID) and Secure Key Management

What is it?

Imagine a world where you control your identity – without centralized databases tracking your data. DID empowers users with self-sovereign identity solutions and secure key management, enhancing privacy, security and usability.

Why you should be paying attention!

  • Full user control over identity, authentication, and credential verification.
  • Secure logins for Web3 applications—without passwords or personal data exposure.
  • Verifiable credentials (eg. proving your age, occupational status or creditworthiness) without sharing extra details.

Privacy-preserving, flexible, and built for a decentralized internet. Exciting!

A Privacy-First Future is Coming

These upcoming features will redefine blockchain privacy, security, and AI-driven trustless automation.
