Zilliqa
1 storyA distinctive element of Zilliqa is cross-shard transaction processing, which supports its role as a sharded smart contract Layer 1. The wider design brings together Scilla smart contracts, PBFT-based consensus, and ZIL transaction fees, connecting protocol mechanics with the network's principal use cases. Use this page when changes to cross-shard transaction processing or Scilla smart contracts alter the operation of Zilliqa; documented effects on PBFT-based consensus, node participation, or developer tooling also fit the tag. The boundary for Zilliqa is its ledger and technical ecosystem: ZIL markets and stand-alone products are separate unless they affect cross-shard transaction processing or Scilla smart contracts.
