As I understand it the goal is not to dethrone ethereum but to provide a very high throughput solution for specific usecases thus a more focused b2b like approach Also with sharding coming to ethereum and other scaling blockchain emerging I think we are going to see apps which are going to push this capacity to the limits again everyone is talking about visa and mastercard but these are just two companies what abpout all the others think stock exchanges the facebook likebutton hundreds of thousands txt per second not to mention the apps we can t imagine yet Thus I think there can be several scaling blockchains in the coming internet of blockchains atleast in the closer future like 5 years and with the market developing like in 2017 each at multibillion dollar valuations
Pros
- Zilliqa doesn't have to beat Ethereum. The blockchain platform ecosystem will be huge going forward so there's plenty of room for Eth, Neo, Zilliqa and more. It's like any other huge industry. When the likes of the Ford Motor Company came along you didn't see competitors go "oh well, that space is now fully occupied".
Cons
- I get the pitch - ZIL is a clean slate blockchain built with sharding in mind instead of being added in later. Vitalik has said sharding is part of the Ethereum 2.0 roadmap (though I can't find any target dates) - if sharding comes to Ethereum this year, does ZIL still have value?
