March 2025 update

We’re excited to share the latest developments, achievements, and ongoing initiatives from March 2025, marking progress on our mission to become the leading platform for interoperable, omnichain data privacy. Here’s a full breakdown of the most important highlights across tech, ecosystem, and marketing:

TLDR: Highlights

Q1 Roadmap Delivered:

Major milestones completed across the Browser and blockchain—staking upgrades, node registry cleanup, off-chain execution, and improved token flow visibility.
Only Arithmetic MPC remains (now rescheduled for Q2 close/early Q3), as we prioritized delivery of WASM Off-Chain Engine which is key for builders.

Foundation Laid for Scale:

Technical, UI, and infrastructure enhancements remove friction and improve reliability—critical groundwork for broader adoption.

Builders Gearing Up:

Months of collaborative work with ecosystem teams are starting to bear fruit—Boosty Labs (money market), Trustswap (launchpad), Sceptre (liquid staking), Crowdsnap (private surveys), and Varmeta (private auctions) are all heading towards deployment.

MPC Tooling Expanded:

Node operators gained efficiency through mobile app upgrades, expanded Partiscan.io features, and open access tools.

zkCrossDEX Nears Launch:

After key backend upgrades, wallet integrations, and market maker tools, zkCross is now launch-ready.

Narrative Emphasized:

Five foundational articles launched through our Blog Blitz campaign, articulating our hybrid model, vision for adoption, and introducing GODS Network.

Stronger Community Infrastructure:

Launch of the Community Hub and a high-signal Community Call aligned expectations and created a more structured foundation for onboarding and transparency.

Strategic Visibility:

Our presence at ETH Denver (with Secret Network) and panel participation at EPFL reinforced Partisia’s role at the forefront of privacy innovation in web3.

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).

Ecosystem: Partners & Builders

zkCross:

Since the soft-launch towards the end of January 2025, zkCrossDEX has undergone UI improvements and crucial backend updates.
These enhancements include a dedicated Market Maker Bot, independent reader node integration, smart contract migrations to the latest 0x protocol, and improved wallet compatibility improvements (Koala Wallet, MetaMask Snaps, Parti Wallet).
Koala Wallet integration will enable access via their mobile dApp browser.
These steps are foundational for the public launch and are expected imminently.

Ongoing Projects:

Development continued actively across several projects:

Rome Blockchain advanced its Liquid Staking solution: Sceptre – adding a new dynamic to MPC staking and boosting DeFi.
Trustswap is building the tools to establish tokentools alongside the Launchpad.
Boosty Labs is nearing readiness to launch the Money Market Protocol, bringing borrowing and lending to Partisia Blockchain.
Var Meta made significant strides towards completing its Private NFT auction proof-of-concept.
Crowdsnap have deployed their contract on mainnet and are gearing up to launch.

This mix of native and MPC-as-a-service decentralized Apps (dApps) reflects growing demand across chains for programmable privacy infrastructure.

These projects, and more, are anticipated to continue progressing towards their significant milestones or launches in Q2, underscoring continued momentum towards adoption.

MPC Node Apps & Partiscan.io

MPC Node App and Partiscan.io simultaneously pushed essential feature updates, greatly enhancing node operator efficiency. The former is available as a mobile app for node operators, however, now they’ve opened access for all Partisia Blockchain users.

You can download the application via iOS and Android today – check it out and make sure to leave a positive review if you like what you see.
