PANews reported on December 30 that Parity Technologies, the parent company of Polkadot, released the Polkadot 2025 roadmap. The key points are as follows:

1. Smart Contracts: Asset Hub adds support for EVM and Solidity, while PVM provides a lightweight, secure, and scalable solution.
2. Elastic expansion: The multi-core architecture increases capacity to meet the growing on-chain demand.
3. XCM v5: The cross-chain messaging upgrade takes interoperability to new heights.
4. Unified address format: Polkadot and all Rollups use a single address - more simplified and efficient.
5. Fast unlocking: The waiting time for DOT unlocking is shortened to bring a better user experience.
6. DOT as a universal fee token: supports fee payments in Rollup - DOT becomes the universal fee for Web3.
7. JAM SDK: New tools for developers to easily build scalable services.
8. SAFROLE technology: Block production using zkSNARK technology to achieve performance optimization.
