Tezos Introduces Tezos X Roadmap to Transform Blockchain Technology
Tezos, an open-source blockchain platform, has introduced Tezos X, a suite of technological upgrades aimed at improving blockchain performance, composability, and interoperability. The plan developed over two years by teams from Nomadic Labs, TriliTech, and Functor, proposes a major shift in transaction execution by introducing a separate “canonical rollup” that supports multiple programming languages.
Tezos X outlines how the main Tezos will serve as the foundation for consensus and settlement while transaction execution will be managed by the canonical rollup. This approach expected to facilitate atomic transactions across smart contracts written in different programming languages and enhance the platform’s versatility.
Scaling the network has been a priority forzos developers since 2022. To address this challenge, they have introduced Smart Rollups as a scaling that allows a dedicated second layer to execute transactions while maintaining consensus and settlement on the layer-1 blockchain.
In addition Smart Rollups, Tezos plans to introduce a dedicated data-availability layer on its main network. strategy mirrors Ethereum’s ongoing scaling initiatives where transaction execution is offloaded to auxiliary Layer- networks. However, Tezos envisions using a single rollup for transaction execution instead of multiple Layer- networks.
The design aims to scale the network while preserving decentralization by leveraging interconnected nodes various roles to provide users with a smoother experience. According to Tezos X’s blog post: “In theory, one rollup is all that’s needed to meet the requirements all but the most extreme use cases. That’s what Tezos X envisions: the creation of single canonical rollup able to handle—and massively expand—all activity on the Tezos network.”
The implementation of this ambitious is projected for 2026 and marks an important milestone in the evolution of the Tezos blockchain. It underscores Tezo’s commitment to innovation and its goal of reclaiming position as a leading smart-contract platform.
