Development & Technical Updates

H1 2025 Technical Roadmap Progress

There have been a vast number of developments across the Browser and blockchain itself. Here are some of the key updates completed and in progress:

✅ Completed Roadmap Milestones (Q1 2025)

Our team successfully delivered all the following planned items from the Q1 segment of our H1 2025 Technical Roadmap:

Auto-Accept of Delegated Stakes:

Node operators can now set a staking goal and automatically accept delegations up to that target.
Delegations are prioritized as follows: self-staked > non-expiring delegated > delegated with the latest expiration.

Staking Expiry Management:

Token holders can now assign expiration dates to delegations. After expiration, these stakes can no longer be used by node operators.
Expired associations can be disassociated by any user.

Improved Delegation UI & Management:

The delegation interface has been redesigned for clarity and fairness:

Prompts users with unstaked MPC to delegate
Delegation buttons across node profiles
New node scoring based on uptime, staking goals, and community alignment
Powerful filters (search, stake availability, personal delegations only)

Oracle Rotation Capabilities:

Users can rotate expired oracle associations independently, eliminating reliance on unresponsive operators.
This has also been implemented for price oracles.

ZK Registry Optimization:

Inactive nodes were removed from the ZK registry.
Only active block producers are now allocated to ZK contracts, improving reliability.

WASM Off-Chain Execution:

Rust-based smart contracts are now extensible with off-chain components.
A self-deployed engine runs this logic (non-ZK only). Initial examples and docs are underway.

Banking Overview Phase 2 (MPC Transfer Movements):

The Browser now shows deposit, staking, and delegation history for MPC tokens, improving auditability and transparency.

🔄 Continuous Improvements

Browser Enhancements:

Ongoing work on the Partisia blockchain Browser:

Contract pages now load faster with backend fixes.
Updated governance views, removed outdated exchange links (e.g. Gate.io), and improved deposit/ withdraw UX.

Developer Ecosystem Enhancements:

Continued refinement of smart contract development tools, CLI functionality, and public-facing documentation to make onboarding and development smoother for contributors
Playground fixes, support for new Rust versions, AVL Trees/Set handling, improved test coverage, and open-source mirrors on GitHub.

🔜 Upcoming Features (In Design & Early Development)

Banking Overview Phase 3:

Will introduce a deeper breakdown of transaction-level activity, including gas payments, staking rewards, and overall MPC circulation data.

Further Delegation UI Improvements:

Building on Q1’s staking tools, the team is designing a more intuitive interface for delegation, making it easier for users to stake with trusted operators.

Stake Auto-association:

Aimed at automating the process by which delegated tokens are linked to computation tasks—improving efficiency and minimizing manual intervention.

ZK Node Testing Enhancements:

Designing systems to better test and validate ZK nodes before they participate in production-level computations, which will strengthen reliability and uptime across the privacy computation layer.

The only remaining item from Q1 is the arithmetic MPC upgrade. This has been rescheduled to the end of Q2/early Q3 due to dependencies with our MPC key management solution (which is in high demand).

Reimagining Web3: A Connected Vision for Privacy, Interoperability, and Real Adoption

Web3 promises a decentralized internet built around transparency, true digital ownership and user empowerment. Yet, despite significant innovation, widespread adoption remains slow and elusive.

This is primarily due to ongoing challenges like fragmented blockchain ecosystems, inadequate data privacy, and the complexity enterprises face when integrating blockchain into their existing infrastructures – Partisia has been built to solve these problems.

This blog provides an overview of the solutions we’ve built to address these critical barriers:

Why enterprises need hybrid blockchain solutions

Privacy and Interoperability: The Cornerstones of Our Vision

Blockchain technology has empowered users with asset ownership and control. Yet genuine privacy—control over personal data storage, sharing, and usage— remains limited.

We tackle this head-on with our core innovation: Multi-party Computation (MPC), allowing secure computation without exposing underlying data.

Our vision goes beyond individual empowerment. It’s equally about providing enterprises with secure, compliant, and scalable tools. Enterprises transitioning from web2 to web3 can confidently adopt blockchain technology, leveraging MPC to maintain confidentiality, comply with strict regulations, and gradually integrate public blockchains at their pace.

Here are some of the ways we’re achieving this vision:

Innovative Privacy Applications: MPC powering use cases in AI and Decentralized Identity (DID), essential for modern digital ecosystems.
BYOC (Bring Your Own Coin): Integration of native coins from other chains, which can be used to pay transaction fees, reducing friction to onboard.
BYON (Bring Your Own Nodes): Enhances decentralization and network security by allowing easy integration of user-run nodes.
Stable Transaction Costs: Our scalable sharded network architecture ensures stable fees, avoiding congestion-driven fee volatility.
GODS Network: Provides seamless cross-chain interoperability, enabling secure, MPC-powered data exchange across blockchain ecosystems.

Why Enterprises Need Hybrid Blockchain Models

Enterprise adoption of blockchain technologies has been slower than anticipated. While regulatory concerns plays a role, businesses often hesitate to embrace public blockchains due to real concerns around exposing sensitive processes or transactional data—even in encrypted forms.

Our hybrid blockchain model offers a pragmatic solution, blending private and public blockchain strengths:

Controlled Confidentiality: Enterprises retain complete privacy and control over sensitive data within their local private blockchain environment.
Public Trust & Transparency: Non-sensitive transactional outputs are published transparently on public blockchains, enhancing auditability.
Incremental Integration: Enterprises can gradually integrate public blockchain use, starting from low-risk, public-facing processes and expanding over time as confidence and comfort grow.

Industry sectors like automotive, finance, and supply chain logistics are already using this hybrid approach in legacy systems. With solutions like GODS Network, combined with private and public solutions bridging these two worlds, enterprises can confidently explore blockchain’s potential while maintaining control over their critical data and processes.

Learn why Hybrid Models are crucial for enterprise adoption →

Moving Forward, Together.

Our strategy blends powerful innovations in MPC-driven privacy, practical hybrid blockchain solutions, robust cross-chain interoperability via the GODS Network, and a carefully structured, collaborative ecosystem.

As we navigate the next stage of growth, our commitment remains to drive meaningful adoption, not mere speculation—building genuine use cases and providing secure, scalable, and accessible blockchain solutions for everyone.

We invite you to join us on this exciting journey towards a unified, secure, and truly decentralized future.
