The next version—originally slated to be called Adium 2.0 but then renamed to Adium X—is a complete rewrite of the code of the 1.x series, and implements such features as support for more IM protocols (such as ICQ, MSN Messenger, and Jabber) using libgaim. Most of the work on libgaim itself is done by the gaim team; the Adium team mostly works on the Adium X GUI.

Typical examples are plugins to display specific graphic formats (e. SVG if the browser doesn´t include thiss; the core program by itself does very little. The plugin system will allow users to pick and choose which features they want to include in the program.
