Greetings everyone, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Singapore-based Switcheo, the first decentralised cryptocurrency exchange on the NEO blockchain, to build a non-custodial, decentralised exchange (DEX) on Zilliqa. Token holders will be able to tap into digital assets on the Ethereum blockchain for the first time, and enjoy a safer and more secure trading experience! This DEX will be built from the ground-up, and marks yet another step we're taking to push the DeFi ecosystem forward.

Zilliqa & Ivan On Tech team up to produce developer tutorial series;
First of five educational videos launched today, featuring a quiz challenge where participants can win
$ZIL!

If we go by Zilliqa’s mantra of ‘tomorrow starts today’ - Web 3.0 and Industry 4.0 are already here, and we all need to be better prepared!

It’s impossible not to imagine a future steeped in digitisation. Blockchain will play a crucial role in tying the digital threads of the world together. With the ‘future of work’ being reshaped right now, we must invest in alternative channels of education so developers - the architects laying the building blocks of the new world - can upskill themselves. Zilliqa has always believed that by offering devs the right mentorship, resources and a ‘hands-on experience’ makes a huge difference.

Zilliqa has joined hands with Ivan on Tech to produce an educational video series targeted to developers. These videos will take you through various elements of the Zilliqa protocol, using Scilla to write and deploy code on the smart contract, and dApp creation.

Today, we’re thrilled to share the first video of the series - an introduction to Zilliqa. ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-iO719SGSo

Ivan’s explanations and demo of various aspects of our technical infrastructure will give you all valuable insights, and serves as a fantastic introduction into the Zilliqa world. The video will also feature a short quiz. Viewers are encouraged to work on the quiz and submit their responses within a week from today- i.e 7th April 2020.

We will select three random people who have scored at least 25 out of 35 points and reward them with 15,000 ZIL each.
So, while you’re working from home this week, pass this challenge on to fellow crypto enthusiasts, your blockchain networks and friends - and take a shot at the quiz yourself. Zilliqa looks forward to your feedback on the video, and your ‘homework’ 🙂

Zilliqa Monthly Newsletter - March 2020

We at Zilliqa have kept our machines running as efficiently as possible while prioritising the health and well-being of our distributed team. People are settling into their new, socially distanced routines, while making sure that our numerous projects stay on track. To this effect, March was a busy month with key developments — team additions, staking ZIP proposal, and DEX project with Switcheo — keeping us all fixed on the larger goals. Our team members have also spent time with key journalists, podcasters and community members, influencers to talk them through Zilliqa's priorities and projects as well as resources such as learnscilla.com, which can help people effectively #BuildOnZIL

Case Study: Zilliqa & BugCrowd

Leveraging innovative security solutions can help blockchain platforms stay ahead of tomorrow's threats and stay competitive. So, we called on the best in the business -
Bugcrowd
to implement a special programme which could complement our robust security framework. Called the 'BugBounty' programme, it utilises an incentive-based Crowdsourced Security model to tap into global, vetted experts who can identify and mitigate a range of vulnerabilities affecting the platform. Thanks to all these measures, Zilliqa can remain #vigilant and #secure as we grow, protecting those who #buidl, trade and transact with us.

We have put together a case study to take you through the programme - led by our Senior VP - Security and Platform Engineering, Jun Hao Tan - in detail. Take a few minutes to read it! https://www.bugcrowd.com/customer/zilliqa/
& check out BugCrowd's blog: https://live-bug-crowd.pantheonsite.io/blog/blockchain-security-zilliqa/

Forwarded from GAINS News
🔹 Summary of the AMA with Zilliqa:

🔎 In this AMA, Amrit, Aparna Narayanan, Colin JG Miles and Milan Shoukri from Zilliqa joined the GAINS community to tell us about their project.
The core value proposition of Zilliqa is scalability achieved thanks to sharding, a “divide and conquer” technique, thus balancing the golden trilemma of security, decentralization and scalability, giving Zilliqa its competitive edge in the industry. Aditionally, they created a programming language called Scilla which is secure by-design and formally verifiable.
Moreover, Zilliqa uses a modified PoW consensus, less costly for miners and more eco-friendly.
With XSGD, the stable coin on their blockchain, they target the remittance market of the APAC region, projected to be worth $270 billion in 2026.
Finally, they underlined the vast ecosystem built around Zilliqa and the vibrant and democratic community they foster. Indeed, 60 projects from 20 countries are part of the Zilliqa ecosystem. They are building wallets, DApps, explorers, developers toolkits, smart contract testing frameworks and more.

👉 It was a pleasure having them in our group and learning more about their project.
📚 Here is the transcript if you want to dig deeper!
👏 Don't forget to spread the love and clap 😘
Zilliqa is excited to partner with Binance.US to launch a new series of ‘Learn & Earn’ #educational videos on #Zilliqa #Blockchain - rewarding users with $ZIL for learning 👩🏻‍🎓😜
