Zilliqa Research Pte. Ltd., developers of the high-performance, high-security, and low-fee Zilliqa blockchain, announces the formation of the Zilliqa Group, an integrated group of businesses built to deliver vanguard Web3 and blockchain-based products and solutions. The Zilliqa blockchain will continue to serve as the core of the Group, providing world-class Web3 and blockchain infrastructure that underpins Group companies, as well as the thriving ecosystem of decentralised applications that comprise the wider Zilliqa ecosystem.
The transition to the Zilliqa Group will establish a unified structure across a range of key industry verticals, incorporating trusted solutions and innovative companies together with the resource base and team that continues to deliver world-class blockchain infrastructure at Zilliqa. Under the new framework, the Zilliqa Group will incorporate subsidiary companies under a single umbrella – including the recently spun-off gaming division, Roll1ng Thund3rz (RTz) – while creating a corporate framework for future soon-to-be-launched ventures across a range of verticals including the spatial web, loyalty, decentralised finance and more. The framework also emphasises the establishment of a unique services layer across the Group structure.
