Click to download audio version Scaling public blockchains such as Bitcoin
and Ethereum is a long standing technical challenge. In this episode, we cover
Zilliqa which has pioneered a design to scale public blockchain throughput with
the number of nodes by sharding the blockchain. Sharding has been hitherto
proposed as a scaling technique by Ethereum. Zilliqa is one of the first
projects to propose a concrete design with an operational testnet processing a
couple thousand transactions per second across several shards. Our guests,
Xinshu Dong (CEO) and Amrit Kumar (Crypto Lead), walk us through the objectives,
protocol design and fundraising structure of this innovative project. We also
briefly cover Zilliqa's novel approach to designing a smart contract language
and execution environment. Topics discussed in this episode: Links mentioned in
