We believe that a blockchain protocol cannot succeed without a talented community looking to build on it. That’s why we started the #BuildonZIL program — to seek out talented individuals and teams to build on our protocol. As we make progress with our first wave of awardees, we are continuously

Developing decentralized applications on blockchain can be challenging. Unfamiliarity with the new technology, long waiting times and the inability to “trace” errors on smart contracts are some of the reasons why development is an uphill task. To tackle some of these challenges, we have developed Kaya RPC — Zilliqa’s RPC

Last year, we announced a partnership with Mindshare to build applications for the digital advertising industry. The partnership will evaluate how Zilliqa’s blockchain protocol can best address some of the challenges in the digital advertising industry.
