With the long-awaited release of the Zilliqa main net approaching we can finally get to see what are the hype is about.

Where is Zilliqa based and what do they set out to achieve?

From a small team based in Singapore they have a grand idea of using sharding to achieve higher TPS with the likes of Ethereum trying the same idea… But Zilliqa seems to be holding the lead in the sharding concept. Zilliqa is a high TPS Dapp Platform which currently recedes at number 30 in the Coinmarketcap rankings.

It has had a steady decline from an ATH of 0.23 to 0.02 Based off delays in the main net release and the over-all crypto bear market.

The Zilliqa network have been coming back with promising results, they managed to achieve 2448 TPS with 6 Shares (600 Nodes per Shard)

This place’s the projected with higher TPS then bitcoin and Ethereum just in testing.
