TechFlow reports that on December 30, Parity Technologies, the parent company of Polkadot, released its 2025 roadmap focusing on three key areas: smart contract upgrades, performance optimization, and ecosystem development.
For smart contracts, Asset Hub will support EVM compatibility and Solidity contract deployment, while introducing PVM, a lightweight virtual machine based on RISC-V.
On performance enhancement, elastic scaling will be achieved through a multi-core architecture, and zkSNARK technology will be adopted to optimize block production.
Regarding ecosystem growth, DOT will become a universal gas token across rollups and lower development barriers via the JAM SDK. Additionally, the roadmap includes improvements such as shortening DOT unlocking times and unifying address formats.
