Zilliqa is a new high-throughput blockchain platform that is designed to scale in an open, permissionless distributed network securely. In the most recent experiments, the Zilliqa private testnet network recorded a peak throughput of 2,488 transactions with 3,600 nodes. The underlying technology that makes Zilliqa scale is that of sharding — — dividing the mining network into smaller groups called shards, each capable of processing transactions in parallel. In fact, the throughput in Zilliqa increases as the network expands which makes Zilliqa truly scalable. Zilliqa has been featured in esteemed news outlets like CNBC, Cointelegraph, BlockchainNews, IBT, The Merkle, Digital Journal, etc.

We would like to foster a community of crypto enthusiasts, system engineers, application developers, researchers, thinkers, writers and other collaborators around Zilliqa for its future development and adoption. To show appreciation to our early supporters and facilitate our community building, we are pleased to launch a bounty program. We are committed to building a strong and active community and your help is critical in achieving this.
NOTE: We reserve the right to disqualify or withhold bounty payouts to any user we suspect of attempting to cheat or exploit any of the rules written below. We also have zero tolerance for spam, cheating, or abuse.

The bounty program will run for 4 weeks, starting from 4 Nov 2017 till 1 Dec 2017 (GMT+8). To ensure transparency, we will maintain a points table and make it available to the community for scrutiny. At the end of each week during the program, we will update the points table for members to keep track of their achievements and help resolve contentious issues in a timely manner. Bounty will be distributed to participants after Zilliqa’s Token Generation Event.
Community members will be awarded with a bounty based on achieving particular goals and these may be increased if certain milestones are hit. The bounty will be awarded in ZILs (or interim ERC-20 tokens). We categorize contributions from the community into 2 categories as detailed below and also have a special award for active supporters.

The only participant at the end of second week will get the entire weekly quota of 5,000.

Hi Pollacco, it is always so heart warming to receive such a great greeting by the community. I hope you have a great day too.

You can do weekly reporting of your work or you can accumulate your work and submit at a later week.

One gentle reminder of how the bounty is allocated so you can make full use of it.
''1/4 of the allocated bounty amount will either expire or be given to participants at the end of each week (according to GMT+8). For example, if we have 0 participants in the first week, 1 in the second and 5 in the third and 10 in the fourth, no bounty will be given at the end of first week and the total bounty will reduce to 15,000.

For the third week, assuming each of the 5 participants accumulates the same number of points, then each will be given 5,000/5 USD (equiv ZILs).''

I register twitter bounty and sent dm for “zilliqabounty” Twitter with my information. but he is not read direct message.
Not see any work form him

Hi Leodalat. Thanks for highlighting that to me. I will check out on the guys. Do tell me if there is any other issues you encounter.


Hi ponampanday, it sure took effort from you to inform us of this concern and I am really appreciative of that.

A few facts that I am aware is that
- Zilliqa is not having signature campaign. From what i know is that other ico bounty tends to allocate 50-90% of the bounty to signature campaign. So without signature campaign, the total amount of Zilliqa bounty will apparent to be small even though it is offering competitive rates for the respective campaign.
- Zilliqa has reserved bounty so if the community engagement is strong and unified, Zilliqa can increase the bounty amount.
- Zilliqa respect all the participants, investors and partnership, so they have a strict regulation on the token circulation. For example, if an ICO that gives more than $8k of tokens to just 1 person per month of posting, one can easily predict that once the token hit the market, the amount of supply of token can easily overwhelm the demand and hence drive down the price of the token. You can lose  with more than half of the paper values instantly.

Thank you. and link of my tweet will send DM to zilliqabounty twitter account ?
