Zilliqa

Zilliqa is a public blockchain network featuring a sharded architecture that aims to address scalability limitations seen in other blockchains. Its sharded design allows concurrent chains to execute transactions in parallel, thereby increasing the overall capacity of the network. In addition to scalability, Zilliqa provides a smart contract layer to support the creation of smart contracts using its native programming language, Scilla. The network reaches a consensus on transactions and contract executions through a hybrid Proof-of-Work-BFT mechanism.
