Zilliqa is a layer-1 blockchain that was among the first to use sharding. Sharding splits the network into smaller groups that process transactions in parallel, which is meant to raise throughput as the network grows. It supports smart contracts, and it now has an EVM environment, so Ethereum-style apps like PlunderSwap can run on it.
The native token is ZIL. It pays for transaction fees and is used for staking to help secure the network. Fees on Zilliqa are generally described as low compared with proof-of-work chains, though they can change with network conditions. DeFi activity is small: total value locked was about $108,700 at the time of writing.
The ecosystem here is modest and centers on a few tools. Avely Staking offers liquid staking with its stZIL token, ZilPay Wallet is the main wallet for ZIL and ZRC2 tokens, and PlunderSwap V2 and V3 were the main DEXes on the chain. Both PlunderSwap sites are due to go offline on 26 November 2026. Latoken and Poly Network also appear on this page, but they work across many chains and are not Zilliqa-only.
