Zilliqa Monthly Newsletter — April 2022 Newsletter

Hello everyone!

We powered through April with the strong momentum of March behind us. New members continue to join our team and Zilliqans everywhere have extended them a warm welcome. You may have met several of them at the Road Map: Zilliqa Vision 2022 and Beyond event. If you joined us at the event, we’d like to say thank you for your support and helping us make it a success!

Are you ready to see what we’ve achieved together this month? Neither can we. Let’s go!

Panel Event — Road Map: Zilliqa Vision 2022 and Beyond

Every leader has a vision for his team. Captain of the Zilliqa ship, CEO Ben Livshits Ph.D., outlined his at the Road Map: Zilliqa Vision 2022 and Beyond panel on 14th April.

Ben shared that DeFi, gaming, the metaverse, and interoperability would be key pillars of Zilliqa’s ambitions, noting the sheer size and future potential of these markets. He went on to elaborate how our strong string of hires and tech roadmap, focused on EVM support, LLVM support for Scilla, and growing ZilBridge capabilities, would get Zilliqa there.

You can watch the panel here; be sure to keep an eye out for the fresh faces in our team!

Aparna, our Head of Communications, expanded on Zilliqa’s vision in a blog post. Comprehensive and concise; it’s a must read to get a better understanding of where we’re headed!

Questions were asked and they were answered! Matt and Art responded to Zilliqans’ questions on future growth and opportunities, how Zilliqa will drive adoption, team expansion, and much more!

We brought attendees on a breathtaking digital trip through the planetarium dome — a preview of just what can be built and supported by Metapolis.

Through the industry’s first Metaverse-as-a-Service (MaaS) model, Metapolis brings an XR-powered layer of engagement to the vision of brands and organisations everywhere. By providing the infrastructure for creating rich and immersive experiences, Metapolis will bring individuals and organisations straight to the cutting edge of virtual reality.

Zilliqa joins the Blockchain Game Alliance

In line with our ambitions to become a blockchain-of-choice for gaming, Zilliqa has officially joined the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA)! In the BGA, we’ll be working alongside like-minded peers who want to bridge the gap between those who create great games, and those who create great blockchains.

With a supportive community, a burgeoning series of esports partnerships, and our gaming veterans Tom and Valentin, Zilliqa will be able to bring our unique perspective to the BGA, and have a hand in shaping the future of gaming!
