Research Report: Zilliqa
Published July 23, 2021

Zilliqa is a high-throughput public blockchain platform and pioneer of sharding technology with deep connections to academia. Born out of the National University of Singapore in 2017 and a longstanding fixture in the upper echelon of crypto-asset valuations.

Technologically speaking Zilliqa is taking a strong position amongst current layer-1 protocols. Being built from the ground up with sharding in mind it forms a strong alternative to market leader Ethereum.

Dear Community,

It was observed that shard nodes failed to join the network in epoch 1315200, as a result transaction processing was temporarily disabled as a safety precaution at 1015 SGT to 1053 SGT on July 28 (Between blocks 1315219 and 1315326). This happened because we've received about 426 PoW solutions instead of the expected > 1800 PoW solutions (shard level).

The shard nodes have since rejoined successfully and transaction processing has since resumed starting block 1315326 with the network progressing well.

And as always, your funds are SAFU.

Best Regards
Zilliqa Team

Dear Zilliqa ecosystem,

We are observing an issue with the network where several nodes are currently out of sync and the network is currently unable to process any transactions. The likely cause of the issue is likely to be due to node memory issues. We will be performing a network recovery and will keep you posted.

Regards,

Zilliqa team

The network is now resuming to process transactions. The tech team in Singapore has been working on the maintenance all night to make sure transactions could be processed as soon as possible. As mentioned before, the last update was the biggest update since the mainnet launch in early 2019, and we pushed a lot of new innovations. The network could potentially still be a bit unstable in the next weeks, but these are short term hurdles (as we prepare for the next upgrade) and not long term. Thank you for your continous patience and support in being part of our innovative journey. Read more here:

⭐️ZILLIQA Q2 2021 ECOSYSTEM GROWTH REPORT⭐️

 In the second quarter of 2021, Zilliqa not only persevered in the face of a bear market, but actively enriched its economy and offerings. The proof lies within the Q2 Ecosystem Report. https://docs.zilliqa.com/ecosystem-growth-report-2021-Q2.pdf

We added to our global team. We diversified our revenue streams with the addition of tokenisation and creator economy solutions. We recorded steady growth across community projects, our ZilSwap DEX, seed node staking, new tokens powered by ZIL, social-media, DeFi projects and much more.

In fact, the report highlights were also shared during ZIL-4. If you missed it, check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7a0YtlpxiI&t=1269s
