ZIL doesn't hit exchanges until 1/25. This marketplace doesn't operate that far in advance. Ten days is enough time to get in and out of 6 other moonshots before turning attention to ZIL.

This is their latest YouTube video from 1/10, which has 736 views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnhB7D0HkY8&feature=youtu.be

#Zilliqa hashtag gets about 1-2 tweets per day, lately several from a dude named "Zilliqa Whale."

I listened to the interview with the CEO. He sounded like a smart guy.

So where is this being hyped and/or talked about?

hype is somewhat low because zilliqa only had a really small public sale

to support user facing apps, blockchain needs to scale

Niche market, use-case projects are where potential lies, according to long tail theory.

in this market hype is yuge. look at cardano and TRON - they barely have any tech product whatsoever and they were/are in the T10. i have faith that zilliqa will be so good however, that they will eventually create hype... but that might take a few big official partners etc

If they're not after a money grab, they're not going to hype it. TRX soared because early investors wanted to cash out.

I think investing in ZIL and expecting a 5x or 10x return in 3 or 4 weeks is unrealistic. It will take time for the best projects to rise to the top; these guys are not going to be the ones pulling a Justin Sun on Twitter.

Thread OP poast: inaccurate

(https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3860093&forum_id=7#35238681)

-No smart people are selling this rn and thats compounded by a very low circulating supply. its not traded on a real exchange yet. the price will almost certainly fall from the high it reached today, at least in the near term future.

-team has essentially no PR or social media presence with the exception of sending out technical updates. i saw dong released a paper from lse and did one interview, but they flew below the radar.

-telegram, reddit subscribers very low compared to lesser projects with lower potential. didnt even see zilliqa on r/cryptocurrency

-few zilliqa holders are even aware that it already has a use case/official partnership before its token distribution.

-i havent heard of any reputable crypto bro even mention zilliqa. nick szabo follows it on twitter, but i dont see a single other reputable crypto twitter follower (that isn't directly involved in the project)

i dont want you to misunderstand what im saying here - im not taking a shot at zilliqa. i draw distinction between zilliqa hype and potential, unlike OP. personally i'm glad there was no hype because im buying up cheap zil. i just hope there's no hype because the team hasn't started on that yet and they probably SHOULD wait until mainnet to do it, frankly. but best to recognize this than pretend it has hype, which it clearly doesnt.

Advocates of blockchain technology often expound its ability to deliver a disruptive layer of efficiency to existing industries that provide consumers goods and services. They might speak of how, by removing centralised trust from the equation of transaction verification, blockchain-based systems will provide a means of disintermediation that could save industries untold sums of capital that is otherwise lost to third-party fees.

One facet of the technology remains a constant; to make the most of blockchain systems they must be capable of scaling out to meet the needs of the ever-increasing number of participants with which they interface. Tackling the issue of scalability has become critical among the goals of blockchain developers and advocates.

Big institutions are already paying attention to the blockchain revolution; huge coalitions have risen up to share research and develop blockchain technology for the private sector. One must look no further than the likes of the growing blockchain conglomerates Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and R3, both of whom encompass major banks, and industry leaders. These companies are working together to deliver a scalable business-competent blockchain platform.

Around the globe, governments have also taken notice of blockchain technology. Recently Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke out in favour of a state-sponsored CryptoRuble, and Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Christine Lagarde has even hinted of late that the IMF may consider underpinning its Special Drawing Right, an internal reserve currency, by a basket of cryptocurrency assets.

Major global powers are investigating blockchain technology as it can be applied to various internal agencies as a means of bolstering infrastructure. Governments from countries including America, Australia, China, Estonia, Japan, Russia, Senegal, Singapore, Switzerland, and more have explored what can be offered by integrating blockchain-powered platforms.

With all eyes falling on blockchain systems, the world is in the midst of a new kind of space race; a heat to deliver to blockchains the transaction scalability necessary so that those systems can compete with today’s expensive and fee-laden central bank networks. The methods by which blockchain technology reaches this pinnacle may vary, however, in terms of recent breakthroughs, one of the more novel approaches to blockchain scalability that stands out is an idea known as sharding.

Sharding makes the most out of the blockchain networks by breaking them up into different segments, or shards. These shards work together to process transactions in parallel, and thus faster than current deployments of blockchain networks such as bitcoin and ethereum. This could unlock a greater potential of blockchain networks’ processing capacity to possibly scale to meet the needs of increasing number of participants and applications.

With such a linear fashion of adaptation to raise transaction throughput as nodes are added, the network can easily grow. If a shared network were to have enough nodes, the blockchain network making use of the sharding protocol could be capable of rivalling today’s transaction system throughput standards. With a new blockchain architecture based on sharding, blockchain technology’s distributed processing and storage could scale massively outward and become a foundational proving ground for global systems capable of taking advantage of such a technological revolution.

Industries are making a conscious effort to keep pace as the blockchain ecosystem evolves. Gradually but steadily, collaboration becomes the new sexy even among once competitive entities. They are increasingly acting as cohorts in collaborative endeavour to reach the common goal of a scalable blockchain platform for their use cases.

Eventually a team will forge the missing link, bridging the scalability gap for decentralized, resilient to attacks and failures, and high throughput on a blockchain network. Whether this is in the form of a permission-less outfacing public blockchain implementation, or a private deployment of a blockchain platform, or a combination of several components and deployments, the results are likely to have a ripple effect.

Sharding isn’t the only scalability protocol out there, and the developers of various blockchains, like those of bitcoin and ethereum, have been diligent as they roll out evolutionary changes to their platforms. It’s thanks to the efforts of these developers that start-ups and industry incumbents alike may develop in an emerging and robust space that is constantly undergoing systemic upgrades.

Is sharding the only missing piece in the puzzle? Finding the solution to this question is complicated, but the answer ultimately depends on the researchers and projects testing and deploying sharding protocols. With some of the best teams and the brightest minds working on this technology, we will find out in the coming months if sharding is the technological solution that delivers ultimate scalability to blockchain networks.
