Ethereum dominates with $7.5B in tokenized assets
But compliance, identity, modular scaling? That’s a different game
Let’s talk about how Zilliqa is going after the market 👇

Institutions don’t just want blockchains, they need compliance-ready infra
✅ Identity-verified smart contracts
✅ Integration with KYC/AML systems
✅ Audit-ready, legal-grade transactions
Zilliqa is designed for regulated tokenization
Ethereum’s great, but it’s one-size-fits-all
Zilliqa’s X-Shards let projects design:
→ Custom gas fees
→ Privacy settings (public/private)
→ App-specific validator sets
Basically, your own chain without building a new L1
EVM Compatibility & Interoperability
Institutions won’t adopt silos
Zilliqa is:
✅ Fully EVM-compatible (MetaMask, Hardhat, Solidity)
✅ Equipped with a Universal Cross-Chain Broker for seamless bridging
It doesn’t fragment liquidity, but extends Ethereum’s ecosystem
UX is the hidden moat for institutional DeFi
Zilliqa’s Smart Accounts enable:
✅ ERC-4337 account abstraction
✅ Social logins & 2FA
✅ Subsidized gas fees
✅ Pay in ERC-20s
Frictionless onboarding = higher adoption
Institutions won’t trust janky chains
🔒 PoS consensus with Pipelined Fast-HotStuff
~5s transaction finality
🌱 99% energy reduction
Dynamic rewards for zero inflation
Built for real capital, not yield farms
Privacy vs compliance? Zilliqa wants both
Research focus:
→ Privacy-preserving compliance
→ Auditable anonymity
→ Verifiable credentials
ZKPs will enable regulated DeFi without compromising user privacy.
Ethereum is the gold standard for RWAs, but yet not perfect for everyone
Zilliqa aims to win institutional tokenization with:
✅ Regulatory compliance
✅ Modular scaling
✅ EVM compatibility
✅ Better UX
✅ Sustainable economics
Institutions want more than DeFi primitives
Ethereum is the mall, Zilliqa lets you build the boutique
Both have customers, but only one is designed for your rules
If you’re betting on tokenization, stay tuned
