Polka Releases 2025 Roadmap: Upgrading Cross-Chain Messaging to Shorten DOT Unlock Wait Times
Parity Technologies, the parent company of Polkadot, has released its Polkadot 2025 roadmap, with the following highlights:
1. Smart Contracts: Asset Hub adds support for EVM and Solidity, while PVM provides a lightweight, secure, and scalable solution.
2. Flexible scalability: Multi-core architecture increases capacity to meet growing on-chain demand.
3. XCM v5: Cross-chain messaging upgrades take interoperability to a new level.
4. Uniform address format: Polkadot and all Rollups use a single address - more streamlined and efficient.
5. Quick unlock: DOT unlock waiting time is shortened to bring better user experience.
6. DOT as a general fee token: supports fee payment in Rollup - DOT becomes a general fee for Web3.
7. JAM SDK: A new tool for developers to easily build extensible services.
