Here Is How Zilliqa (ZIL) Will Zoom Past Tron (TRX)

Published

Zilliqa

Can crypto traders and enthusiasts suffer from the fatigue of one project being constantly in the news? Perhaps the Tron (TRX) foundation is putting in too much effort to have its platform known in the crypto-verse. The way technology and marketing works are that there needs to be a balance between the product being offered and the marketing strategy. Word of mouth works best. This is when the users and believers of a product or project do the advertising themselves.

In the case of TRON, perhaps the crypto-verse has seen what the team can offer and wants a new, fresh project to switch its attention to.

In comes Zilliqa (ZIL) with the second version of its Testnet that showcases the Scilla programming language and MainNet that is slated for release in Q3 of this year.

Zilliqa (ZIL) has one advantage over the Tron project. Not too many crypto enthusiasts have heard about this new refreshing project. What then will happen as soon as the Mainnet is launched, the concept of sharding in the Zilliqa platform will be confirmed 100%. The current Zilliqa Testnet can handle 2,828 transactions per second with just 6 shards. The entire Tron MainNet currently handles 2,000 tps (transactions per second). This is still high considering that Ethereum’s platform can only handle 25. But Zilliqa is clearly the future of scaling on the blockchain. As more shards are added onto the platform, the tps will grow according to and Zilliqa will outshine the rest.

Secondly, due to the high tps, the Zilliqa platform will be ideal for DApps that are centered on gaming, entertainment, digital advertising as well as finance. This means the Mainnet that proves to be more efficient between that of Tron and Zilliqa, will win over developers.

A third reason that Zilliqa will zoom past Tron in terms of technology, is the new programming language of Scilla that is the core of the ZIL project. The Scilla language has been designed with smart contract safety in mind. The researchers that developed Scilla, are at the top of their game in academia. This means they have studied the smart contract ecosystem and know all the loopholes and hurdles. It is like asking an aeronautical engineer to put together a Formula One Racecar. S/he knows the ins and outs of aerodynamics. The team at Zilliqa specialize in smart contracts 100%.

In a nutshell, the second quarter of 2018 will prove to be an exciting one as both Tron and Zilliqa will have functioning Mainnets. This means that both blockchain platforms will stand the test that is the developer and blockchain community. These two communities will decide on which platform to use for their projects. Zilliqa already has a head start by showcasing a higher throughput in transactions. Tron might hold the edge right now for having released its Mainnet earlier. But time will tell as to which platform will be victorious.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
