Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | The ZILLIQA Technical Whitepaper |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A 2017 design for a sharded chain: a directory service that assigns nodes, shards that process transactions in parallel, and a language proposal aimed at safe-by-construction contracts. |
| Who may write | The Zilliqa Team |
| What is settled | Proof-of-work is used to identify nodes and resist Sybils, not as the final ordering of every payment. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Shard counts and measured throughput in a white paper are not a current benchmark. |
| What this library says afterwards | Directory-service security dominates. If that layer is small, the shards do not add the security people infer. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
