September was a busy month for the Zilliqa ecosystem, packed with several exciting announcements. Highlights from the last month include the forging of a strategic alliance between Google Cloud and Zilliqa Group, a new partnership with GMEX ZERO13 to build a blockchain-powered carbon offset platform, the relaunch of MetaMinds, and more.
Work on Zilliqa's network architecture has also continued at pace as we progress towards Zilliqa 2.0, with four major proposals submitted for voting that bring extensive improvements to the network.
"From our partnership with GMEX ZERO13 on a new carbon offset platform to the relaunch of MetaMinds, I am thrilled to see extensive progress being made across all aspects of the Group as well as on the blockchain’s infrastructure," says Zilliqa Group CEO Matt Dyer. "The highlight of the past month for me was the strategic alliance we announced with Google Cloud at Token2049 in Singapore. This groundbreaking collaboration demonstrates our commitment to realising the ambitions of our ventures and organisations while cementing our focus on reliability and security.

We are excited to be working with Google Cloud as they set the pace for the future of Web3 cloud computing. James Tromans, Head of Web3 at Google Cloud, highlights the benefits of our recently announced strategic alliance in an exclusive interview published by Blockhead.
"Zilliqa were one of the first to introduce sharding. We've been thinking about scalability right from the beginning, which is obviously aligned with Google's values," Tromans says.
"We had a lot of nice cultural overlap there and shared aspirations from the engineering standpoint, so we're excited to be able to work with them as well."

DeFi plays a crucial role in the growth and adoption of the Zilliqa network, and the recent launch of Ionise marks a major step towards building up a flourishing ecosystem of DeFi apps on the blockchain.
As the first-ever money market protocol built on Zilliqa EVM, Ionise paves the way for other projects to follow, demonstrating how simple it is to deploy battle-tested EVM applications on Zilliqa.
“Ionise shows that you can build a DeFi product using EVM. It will work and you can use it - the team has shown that in the simplest way possible,” says Anton Agafonov, Head of Product at Zilliqa.
To learn more about how Ionise can be a blueprint for EVM dApps on Zilliqa, read our full interview with Anton: http://blog.zilliqa.com/how-ionise-paves-the-way-for-better-defi-on-zilliqa/

As you might be aware, our team has been rigorously testing the 9.3.0 candidate releases on the testnet in recent weeks. These updates have successfully passed our rigorous acceptance criteria, indicating we are nearing code completion. The current v9.2.5 network continues to operate effectively and stably. Our priority is to ensure a smooth and trouble-free upgrade to v9.3.0, particularly considering the timing around the holiday season.
Therefore, after careful consideration, we have decided to postpone the update to January 3rd. This extension will allow us additional time to ensure that miners and Staked Seed Node (SSN) operators can seamlessly integrate into the network. We encourage those who haven't yet utilized our miner rehearsal network to get in touch for access.
Additionally, we will provide access to our comprehensive internal rehearsal network for extended testing and conduct further performance assessments. We are committed to the January 3rd date for releasing v9.3.0, unless we encounter any critical issues.
We understand this change may impact your operations, so please do not hesitate to reach out if this poses any challenges for you. For those celebrating the holiday season, we wish you a joyful and restful time.
Thank you for your continued support.
Warm regards,
Zilliqa Core Team
