Launched in 2017, Zilliqa is a cryptocurrency project with a certain focus to develop the popular second layer solution known as “Sharding”. The data shows that cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum have certain limitations, and Zilliqa is trying to create a complex-yet-reliable sharding solution to scale the blockchain while still able to maintain its liquidity. It’s believed that Zilliqa’s transaction speed might become as fast as 1000x of Ethereum’s network.

As for its relationship with Zilliqa, Xfers decided to launch a new initiative called StraitsX, which is a stablecoin project directly powered by Zilliqa itself.
Unlike standard and more popular stablecoins which are usually pegged to USD, this StraitsX is focused on SGD-pegged token called XSGD. The valuation of XSGD is 1-to-1 to the Singaporean Dollar.

Aqilliz is a company that has agreed to partner directly with Zilliqa to use Zilliqa’s blockchain as its source of infrastructure for its clients. The name Aqilliz itself is the direct reverse of Zilliqa. While they are two different companies but they have the same mission which is to promote the use cases of Zilliqa blockchain.
Aqilliz itself has a holy mission to scale up Zilliqa adoption by focusing on clients that want to utilize smart contracts from Zilliqa platform. The hope is that both entities will benefit when there are more clients who trust Aqilliz more than others.

ChainSecurity is a startup based in Switzerland with focus on security services and custom security solutions for blockchain projects. ChainSecurity itself is part of the big firm PwC. The idea of ChainSecurity is to verify and expose security flaws in the smart contracts as well as blockchain platforms.
It is claimed that ChainSecurity would create a host of security resources for Zilliqa because both of them share the same ideas of security in the form of academic roots.
5. Switcheo

Zilliqa and Switcheo have teamed up to create a DeFi ecosystem in the SE Asia region. Switcheo basically helped Zilliqa to create its own decentralized exchange where Zilliqa token holders would be able to get different digital assets that are issued on Ethereum blockchain using the atomic swap protocol.
Switcheo itself was known as mostly NEO-based DEX even though they have diversified their platform technology to other blockchain ecosystems as well such as Ethereum and Zilliqa.
6. Asteria
For those who don’t know, Asteria is a Japanese-based company who tries to build different products to aid companies with their own internal business automation. It’s betting its future on IoT device management, content sharing, collaboration, and others.

The partnership would also help the development of enterprise DApps which would be based on Zilliqa and Asteria Warp.
