Zilliqa

In a recent conversation with Bitcoin Magazine NL, Zilliqa CEO Alexander Zahnd shared how his traditional finance background shapes the vision for Zilliqa 2.0 — a performant, institution-ready blockchain built for the next wave of adoption. Key advancements with Zilliqa 2.0: • Full EVM compatibility while retaining native Scilla support • X-Shards — customizable sub-blockchains optimized for privacy, performance, and fees • Permissionless PoS with both classic and liquid staking options • 1-second block times and 2-second finality 🔐 Security & Trust: After a February bridge exploit, Zilliqa strengthened its foundations: isolating and auditing modules, tightening change management, and expanding cross-chain infra with solutions like deBridge and Houdini Swap. 🏦 Institutional Focus: Partnering with the Liechtenstein Trusted Integrity Network (LTIN) on verifiable Legal Entity Identifiers (vLEI) — creating regulatory certainty and enabling enterprises to confidently build on blockchain. 🌎 Global Outlook: From strong Southeast Asia roots to growing alignment with European frameworks like MiCA, Zilliqa’s long-term vision is a white-label regulatory solution deployable worldwide. Zilliqa 2.0 isn’t just another EVM clone. It’s the foundation for scalable, compliant, and impactful Web3 adoption. 🎥 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gvyTpuac.
