- Mainnet rollout scheduled for December 8, 2025, requiring node upgrades.
- Introduces the Coretime model for more adaptable and predictable block space acquisition.
- Adds Hyperbridge for cross-chain interoperability and a native DEX palette.
Engine he planned implementation on the main network Sentosa update Down December 8, 2025 at 16:30 UTC. The update applies to simultaneous changes to the file Relay AND Matrixchainanchoring the Relaychain passage at block 13 229 687. According to the official note, the update will happen after successful validation on the platform Canary testnetwhich was continued October 27, 2025 at 16:00 UTC.
Sentoza integrates Core time to Relaychain. This mechanism allows users to acquire block space in shorter and more adaptable cycles than standard leasing models. Coretime’s goal is to reduce speculative costs and improve the predictability of on-chain compute resource allocation.
The update adds two interoperability palettes: Hyperbridge AND Asset Conversion (DEX). Uses Hyperbridge verifiable state evidence to enable cross-chain messaging and minimal trust resource transfers. The system supports the inflow of stablecoins and other currency flows into Ecosystem engine. The conversion pallet serves as: DEX layer for decentralized exchange within the network, with already tested proofs of concept.
To optimize internal operations, Sentosa introduces employees outside the chain that automate maintenance tasks. These responsibilities include validator payments, clearing expired marketplace listings, and deleting expired fuel tank accounts. Offloading these tasks reduces mainchain congestion and increases throughput.
The previous update, known as Bugisdoubled Matrixchain speed by reducing blocking time from 12 to 6 seconds. This serves as a benchmark for performance expectations post-Sentosa.
Operational impact, management and schedule
Sentosa modifies governance and market processes on the web. Deletes bonus cycle nomination pools and shortens the destruction period 56 to 28 daysallowing for faster staking adjustments.
The system adds a mechanism for extending the auction. When will the last offer be received? 10 minutesthe timer is reset to 10 minutes. This prevents bids from closing abruptly and promotes more competitive bidding.
At the ecosystem level, Enjin maintains tools such as Fuel tanks subsidizing transactions and this is still the focus real world assets (RWA). The platform reports 1 billion NFTs minted since its origins in 2009 and its ICO in 2017. This history provides context for the user base and employ cases that can benefit from modern cross-chain opportunities.
For traders and treasuries, the elements with the greatest operational impact are Hyperbridge and DEX palette. These systems enable inbound liquidity and on-chain conversions that can impact stablecoin supply and order book depth. In the medium term, they may also impact the base and funding in derivatives markets linked to assets held online. Off-chain automation provides lower latency and can reduce congestion costs.
Sentoza it means a step towards something bigger interoperability AND efficiency in the Enjin infrastructure. It focuses on adaptable block space and cross-chain functionality. The next milestone is mainnet deployment December 8, 2025which will provide guidance to operators, custodians and trading desks when assessing liquidity and operational risk.
