Zilliqa Price

Zilliqa  is a public, permissionless blockchain that is designed to offer high throughput with the ability to complete thousands of transactions per second. Its native asset ZIL serves as a reward for those who are securing the network.

The platform is home to many decentralized applications (DApps), and it also supports decentralized finance (DeFi) use-cases like staking and yield farming.

The Zilliqa team has developed a new smart contract programming language known as Scilla. Scilla separates state and function. It’s a functional programming language that draws a distinction between the communication aspects of a contract – transferring funds or calling another contract – and the actual computational work the contract does. 

At its core, Zilliqa utilizes sharding technology, which enables increased transaction rates as the network expands. Shards (a group of 600 nodes) process transactions separately from each other rather than as a group. This allows a lot more transactions to be processed faster.

Zilliqa seeks to become the blockchain of choice for large-scale enterprise use, including among the advertising, gaming, entertainment and financial services and payments industries. In its 2018 position paper, its team states that the platform "aims to rival traditional centralized payment methods such as VISA and MasterCard."

A few examples of the use cases of the ZIL token include:

• Incentive for PoW mining.
• Payment as gas fees for smart-contract execution.
• Tender for transaction fees.

Like any currency, cryptocurrencies gain their value based on the scale of community involvement (like user demand, scarcity or the coin’s utility). Any cryptocurrency value also depends on the overall viability and progress of the project development. Partnerships and a fast growing community are also very good for price appreciation of the cryptocurrency, so research on those topics is called for.

Zilliqa's native token ZIL is listed on several major cryptocurrency exchanges — including Binance, Huobi, Bitfinex and Bithumb — where it is available to be traded against fiat currencies, stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies.

Zil can also be acquired as a reward for mining or staking.

The cryptocurrency market is extremely volatile. So, the general advice that investors should keep in mind is to invest only an amount of money that they can afford to lose. However projects that keep developing, achieving one milestone after another, establishing lucrative partnerships or launching user-friendly software, are likely to become more valuable in the eyes of the market.

The price of one ZIL on Nov 14, 2026 is $ 0.001532.

Yes, you can make money from ZIL - like many other cryptocurrencies, it displays a lot of price volatility, so there are definitely opportunities to “buy low and sell high”. However, it’s important to educate yourself about a crypto asset and consider the broader conditions in the cryptocurrency market before making an investment.

To enter the market at the appropriate time, market research has to be made. Relevant technical indicators and predictions can be found on our ZIL price prediction page.

Beginners in cryptocurrency markets are strongly advised to start with small amounts - many investors will not be comfortable with the highly volatile market movements.

Yes. ZIL is divisible in very small parts (12 decimals), so it is possible to invest almost any amount.

ZIL can be currently exchanged to fiat, stable coins, or other cryptocurrencies on Binance, Huobi, Bitfinex, Bithumb and other exchanges. Some exchanges do not offer direct pairs between ZIL and fiat currency, so another cryptocurrency must be used as the bridge currency to USD or other fiat currency.

Zilliqa is generally considered a safe platform to use, and the blockchain so far hasn’t suffered any major exploits.

Scilla imposes a structure on smart contracts that will make applications running on Zilliqa less vulnerable to attacks by eliminating certain known vulnerabilities directly at the language-level. Furthermore, the principled structure of Scilla will make applications inherently more secure.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been adopted in many countries and implemented into their legal systems. Depending on the country, crypto use can also be severely limited in some. You can check the legality of crypto by country or territory here.

ZIL can be stored in several wallets on different platforms such as iOS, Android, web browsers, and hardware wallets. Some examples include the Ledger Nano S, Atomic Wallet and Guarda Wallet.

When buying ZIL on an exchange with fiat or another cryptocurrency, the assets are switched between the buyer and the seller at the current exchange rate. In that case, the buyer receives ZIL, and the seller receives fiat or another cryptocurrency. The exchange will receive a small fee for their service of maintaining the marketplace and facilitating trades.

Zilliqa employs both Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake in its consensus mechanism. Therefore, new coins are generated with mining in available pools, or with staking through their user-friendly Zillion portal.

ZIL has a limited maximum supply of 21 Billion. As of Nov 14, 2026, the circulating supply of ZIL is 20.64B tokens.

Because Zilliqa is a smart contracts platform with decentralized aplications (dApps), the most similar coins to ZIL are, Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, EOS, and other similar platforms.
