Zilliqa has been gaining an increasing number of followers since Q1 and thus making constant progress. In this article, we shall discuss how profitable Zilliqa trading can be and whether it’s a risk-free investment or not.

A Little about Zilliqa Project

Zilliqa was created as an open source blockchain whose aim is to achieve high scalability levels and remain decentralized. The project challenges Ethereum and Bitcoin in terms of speed of transactions and fee. Its cutting-edge technology makes it better than some altcoins out there in the crypto space. Each and every aspect of Zilliqa was carefully made to work better than the crypto giants. Many crypto traders have joined Zilliqa in its journey of becoming the Gem of the market by holding onto it since the time it was created. Zilliqa is best known for introducing mining through sharding and also for its currently under development new programming language named Scilla. Sharding means dividing a particular mining network into smaller shards.

Reasons for Investing in Zilliqa

Zilliqa is set to revolutionize the smart contract aspect of blockchain technology through its sharding technology and its upcoming releases. Its platform is designed in such a way to scale in transaction rates as the number of shards rises. Smaller mining units which are created through sharding can process the transaction by themselves and hence solve the problem of network congestion which is frequently experienced by developers in case of Ethereum platform. The upcoming Scilla, the programming language has created much hype within the community because it’s said to be extremely developer friendly and allows the testing of smart contracts before its launch. All of this gives Zilliqa markets the traction it needs making it a profitable investment.

Risks Associated with Zilliqa

Everyone expects to make a profit while enjoying the benefits of a certain blockchain project but it’s more than just necessary to keep a watchful eye on the risks associated with each investment. Zilliqa also has its own risks such as foreshadowing regulations which threats Zilliqa’s growth or even make it inexistent. Also, being a young project, there is always a chance of some other improved platform to be better than it and coming up with a newer, better technology all because the competition between cryptocurrencies is fiercer than what it looks like. Zilliqa’s sharding technology also gives rise to some shortcomings, for example, it requires a lot of disk space. Although Zilliqa team has hinted a collaboration with bluezelle to address these problems in the future.
