Zilliqa allows staking and yield farming. Also, it acts as a home to several decentralized applications and aims to solve the issue of blockchain scalability.

The total and maximum supply of the ZIL crypto is 15.96 billion and 21 billion. Meanwhile, the circulating supply of virtual currency is 12.67 billion ZIL tokens.

Bottom line

The rise in the price of ZIL crypto is probably due to the announcement that it has officially joined the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA). Zilliqa could play a role in defining the future of blockchain-based gaming.

Also, Zilliqa announced that Art Malkov had joined the company as Head of Marketing. Mr Malkov has previously worked with Polymarket and IoTex.
