Pros

The Idea and the Team Behind Zilliqa As increasing numbers of cryptocurrencies and smart contract platforms share computing resources, the limits of scalability are becoming more and more challenging. Transaction rates in Bitcoin and Ethereum are usually between 3 and 7 a second (TPS). Any global payments network would require many tens of thousands more TPS in capacity. Zilliqa is a new blockchain platform designed for scalability.

Cons

Xinshu Dong, Zilliqa’s CEO, is a computer security expert with experience applying security systems to web applications, web browsers, mobile platforms and cyber-physical systems such as smart grid and transportation systems. He has a doctorate in computer science from the National University of Singapore. The Head of Business Development is Ong En Hui. She has a strong background in finance and previously worked at JPMorgan in the sales team covering pension funds, insurance companies and banks in Singapore.
