Zilliqa

Zilliqa is a scalable smart contract platform to address the blockchain industry's congestion problem. Zilliqa employs a novel sharded architecture to achieve parallel transaction processing while maintaining many public nodes. As a result, Zilliqa is a blockchain capable of high throughput and complex computations while remaining decentralized and secure. Zilliqa launched in 2017 when its founders created a high-throughput public blockchain platform designed to scale thousands ​of transactions per second. As blockchain technology evolves, its efforts are centered around streamlining the efficiency, trust, and transparency of Web 3.0. Zilliqa’s native digital asset is referred to as $ZIL. This native cryptocurrency is used for transactions, transfers, contract execution, staking, and governance.
