What is Zilliqa?
Zilliqa is a blockchain platform, first launched in 2019, that set out to tackle scalability using sharding. It was one of the earliest networks to build sharding in as a core feature, which lets the chain handle more transactions as additional nodes join rather than slowing down.
Under the hood, Zilliqa uses a hybrid consensus that pairs Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance with Proof of Work. The goal is high throughput for developers and businesses building decentralised applications. Smart contracts on Zilliqa are written in Scilla, a language made specifically for the platform with security and formal verification in mind, so contract behaviour can be checked more rigorously.
The project came out of a team of academic researchers, which shows in its focus on the engineering side of scaling. Holders of ZIL can stake the token to earn rewards and take part in network governance, and it is used to pay transaction fees on the network. Enterprises and developers who want scalable infrastructure remain the main audience Zilliqa is built for.

FAQ
Buying Zilliqa: FAQs
How much do I need to buy ZIL?
You can start with a small amount of AUD, as there is no rule that you buy a whole ZIL. The token is divisible, so many people begin with a modest deposit, take a fraction, and add to their holding as they go along.
How quickly can I buy Zilliqa?
Usually within minutes of signing up. Verification tends to be approved quickly, and a PayID deposit of Australian dollars often lands in under a minute, so you can go from registering to holding ZIL in a single session.
Can I sell ZIL back to Australian dollars?

What can I do with ZIL after buying it?
You can stake ZIL to earn rewards, take part in network governance, and use it to pay transaction fees on the Zilliqa network. Holders can also interact with decentralised applications built on the platform, which is what the network is designed to support.
What makes Zilliqa different from other blockchains?
