Review on Zilliqa by Susan Creech

In practice there are limits however, as the number of transactions processed is dependent on the number of nodes in the network. Ultimately however it’s reasonable to think that Zilliqa could process tens of thousands of transactions, and possibly even hundreds of thousands of transactions per second
Pros
- That blockchain is Zilliqa, which had its private ICO in late 2017 and a small public offering in January 2018, making it one of the first new tokens of 2018. Zilliqa is the only blockchain that has functioning sharding, which allows the blockchain to scale in a linear fashion as the network grows in size. Currently running on a testnet, Zilliqa expects to launch on main net in the third quarter of 2018
Cons
- This is a fundamental change to how a blockchain reaches consensus, as the sharding solution scales alongside the size of the Zilliqa network. In theory, Zilliqa has no limit on the number of transactions per second it could process.
