According to ChainCatcher news, the official version of Polkadot 2.0 is expected to go live in the first quarter of 2025, as disclosed by blockchain infrastructure company Parity Technologies. A key feature of Polkadot 2.0, Elastic Scaling, is currently undergoing early testing on the Kusama network, supporting a single parachain to use multiple cores to enhance network performance.

ChainCatcher news, according to PolkaWorld, in the latest issue of the Polkadot Fellowship meeting, Fellowship member Andrei Sandu stated that elastic scaling will go live on Polkadot in January or February next year. Elastic scaling is the final part of the Polkadot 2.0 launch, which means that Polkadot 2.0 is expected to be fully launched in January or February next year.

ChainCatcher news, according to PolkaWorld, Parity research analyst Joe Petrowski stated in the Polkadot governance forum that Agile Coretime (Polkadot 2.0) is expected to launch on the Rococo testnet by the end of the year, on the Kusama canary network in the first quarter of next year, and on the Polkadot mainnet in the second quarter. This means that the project will soon be able to directly access Polkadot relay chain services without the need to rent parachain slots for an extended period.
