Zilliqa is a widely recognized layer-1 blockchain now evolving toward credentialed infrastructure for institutional finance. The Zilliqa upgrade introduced a more capable foundation, and the Mediation Layer checks whether two parties are permitted to transact before any settlement proceeds. Through this infrastructure and the ecosystem of ventures building around it, Zilliqa aims to make regulated, real-world activity native to public blockchains.
Zilliqa sets a new strategic direction, strengthening the foundation laid by the upgrade. The focus turns to pre-settlement compliance and the Mediation Layer, with a phased roadmap toward credentialed infrastructure for institutional finance.
The Zilliqa upgrade is live, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the Zilliqa blockchain and laying the foundation for credentialed, institution-ready infrastructure.
The whitepaper and roadmap for the Zilliqa upgrade are released, unveiling the next evolution of the Zilliqa blockchain.
EVM compatibility is introduced to the Zilliqa mainnet, a major step forward for interoperability. Zilliqa forms a strategic alliance with Google Cloud.
EVM compatibility is launched on the Zilliqa testnet, signalling a renewed focus on interoperability and multi-chain applications.
Zilliqa’s ecosystem continues to grow, with new applications launching on the network.
Staking is launched on the Zilliqa mainnet, allowing node operators to earn rewards for their role in securing the network.
The Zilliqa mainnet is officially launched and made available to the public. Scilla, the secure-by-design smart contract language used for building dApps on Zilliqa is also launched.
Zilliqa is founded as a layer-1 blockchain in Singapore and the first public testnet is launched.
The Zilliqa whitepaper is published, outlining its approach to blockchain scaling through sharding.
The native token of the Zilliqa layer-1 blockchain, $ZIL is used to pay for products and services on the Zilliqa network. With $ZIL, you can engage with every dApp and platform on the Zilliqa blockchain, including wallets and applications running on the EVM execution layer, such as MetaMask. Users can choose to stake $ZIL to earn passive rewards for helping to secure the Zilliqa network.
