Zilliqa aims to make decentralized blockchain the building block of future enterprises and applications, by addressing two key limitations it faces today – scalability and security. It is building a public blockchain platform designed to meet the high scaling and security requirements of applications such as digital advertising, gaming, and payments. Zilliqa’s technology is bringing academic research – including a paper on scaling public blockchains through sharding, co-authored by Zilliqa’s co-founder Prateek Saxena – into real-world use.
