Incidents with smart contracts over the last few years (such as the DAO and Parity hacks) have shown that implemented operational semantics of smart contract languages often admit rather subtle behaviour that diverge from the intuitive understanding of the language in the minds of contract developers.
In order to prevent such incidents to recur, it is required to have a safe-by-design smart contract language that is both expressive and tractable.
Pros
- Fast, Secure and Decentralized Zilliqa’s high throughput means that you can focus on developing your ideas without worrying about network congestion, high transaction fees or security which are the key issues with legacy blockchain platforms.
Cons
- Other platforms – like OmiseGo – have much stronger links with real-world organizations. Zilliqa has some serious work to do if it wants to be among the biggest cryptocurrencies.
