Zilliqa is a permissionless and high-performance blockchain created to help solve scalability issues that many developers and blockchain users often encounter. Secure and efficient smart contracts for applications and enterprises are a significant feature, as well as the integration and implementation of sharding protocols, which is vital for scalability.
MoreKnown for being the first implementer of sharding or database partitioning, Zilliqa divides its network into different shards or groups of nodes. This allows more transactions to be completed as the processing of each transaction is done separate from each other instead of as a group.
MoreBeing a public blockchain, anybody can use Zilliqa and its token, ZIL. The cryptocurrency is available for purchase in crypto exchange networks such as Coinmerce, but you have to sign up with them first before you can make any transaction or purchase.

Zilliqa’s primary aim is to use sharding in increasing user scalability for its decentralized, permissionless blockchain platform. Its use of the database partitioning technique is what makes it stand out from all the other dapps or decentralized applications. Conceptualized and created by a group that consisted of engineers, entrepreneurs, and academics, Zilliqa’s birthplace is the National University of Singapore. The team, led by chief scientific officer, president, and co-founder Amrit Kumar; chief technology officer Yaoqi Jia; and former CEO and board member Xinshu Dong, raised approximately $20 million of private funding before 2017 ended. The initial plan was to not hold an ICO or initial coin offering, but they eventually did one from December 2017 to January 2018. As a result, Zilliqa received $22 million in funding. The Zilliqa mainnet went live in the early part of 2019. At that point, they were acknowledged as the world’s first public blockchain network to use shards for scalability.
