Review on Zilliqa by James Talbot

Zilliqa is eager to implement on-chain expansion, or self-expansion blockchain, as opposed to off-chain solutions such as payment channels. To achieve this goal, Zilliqa will shard the deals on Zilliqa blockchain.
The Zilliqa network is divided into smaller networks that increase the blockchain throughput by increasing the number of transactions to be made in parallel.
Zilliqa utilizes a streamlined data flow model that allows tasks to be solved in parallel and can function effectively in tasks such as MapReduce.
Pros
- The Zilliqa team is comprised primarily of PhDs in computer science with an academic background. In fact, Zilliqa was born from an R&D project of the National University of Singapore and more than two years of work had a functioning blockchain before the Zilliqa ICO. The CEO of the project is Xinshu Dong, who completed his PhD at the National University of Singapore. Since then he has been a leading cybersecurity expert, working on a number of security projects for the Singaporean government. This is great team
Cons
- Zilliqa has mentioned many times that they do not see this as a competitive alternative to blockchain, but instead, Zilliqa is a blockchain for better tasks. Therefore, being compared to blockchain with high-throughput smart contract is of course.
