Zilliqa
ZILLive. Machine-drafted, not yet checked by a person.
Zilliqa is a layer-1 blockchain that is now building infrastructure aimed at institutional finance. Of the 26 things it promised, it delivered 2, 1 is past due and not yet checked, 23 are still open (22 with no date); the next dated step is Q3 2026. It trades at $0.003, #407 of all coins by size, 99% below its highest ever price.
This week delivered: A network of carrier-neutral internet exchange nodes across European financial hubs, backed by Telecom Liechtenstein, is running.; delivered: The technical specification for the Mediation Layer.; in the news: use-adding promise delivered.
A real job, real backing. Delivered 2 of 26, 1 past due, not yet checked. Next step in 15 days. #110 of 442 smart contract platforms. Nothing to be careful of on the record.
Is it real?

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Smart Contract Platform ($17.33M). To match the leader, Bitcoin Cash ($4.43B), its price would need to rise 7492%, to about $0.2272.

What to do Add it to My coins and come back on Q3 2026, when it says it will deliver: LTIN's application to become a GLEIF-qualified verifiable identity issuer is targeted for the third quarter of 2026. That step does not add use of the coin, so it is a date to watch, not a reason to hold. If it lands, the record moves; if it slips, so does the case.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Smart Contract Platform: this coin next to Bitcoin Cash, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- Zilliqa says
- Zilliqa is a layer-1 blockchain that is now building infrastructure aimed at institutional finance.
- Bitcoin Cash says
- Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin with a protocol upgrade to fix on-chain capacity.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
Zilliqa is a layer-1 blockchain that is now building infrastructure aimed at institutional finance.
Its listing puts it this way: Zilliqa (ZIL) is a token developed in the year 2017. Zilliqa is mainly based on the concept of Sharding and primarily aims at improving the scalability of the cryptocurrency networks as in case of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Problem it says it solves: a platform other apps build on. 52 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $408,727,547,844.
Where it trades: Crypto.com, Binance, Binance US, OKX, Bybit
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?
Nothing printed today
None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

What it says is different: Zilliqa (ZIL) is a token developed in the year 2017. Zilliqa is mainly based on the concept of Sharding and primarily aims at improving the scalability of the cryptocurrency networks as in case of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
It is 1.3% the size of Bitcoin Cash. On the facts above it is behind on years trading, major exchanges, headlines, last month. For that gap to close, the record would need news that names it. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.
The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

93%
of all ZIL that will ever exist is already out in public hands: 19.51B coins.
7% (1.49B coins) is already created but not in public hands, held by the project or locked in escrow. That is a small share. Those coins can be sold later, which can push the price down.

Its pages do not say what holding it gets you
That is worth knowing before buying. A coin nobody needs is priced on hope.
