Overview

A brief information about Zilliqa blockchain

Zilliqa is a public blockchain designed to solve scalability and throughput problems which face many other blockchains. Zilliqa uses a sharding process which splits it into several interconnected blockchains to support more transactions and increase scalability.

Zilliqa supports smart contracts and has its own smart contract language named Scilla. Scilla is focused on security and allows the creation of decentralized applications (dapps) intended to provide different services for users.

The native coin of Zilliqa blockchain is ZIL. ZIL is used to pay transaction fees on Zilliqa blockchain.

Zilliqa has a native staking program which allows users to earn rewards for decentralizing the Zilliqa network.

Zilliqa is supported by Ledger hardware wallet and many software wallets which allow users of Zilliqa to interact with dapps.
