We have been made aware of a security incident involving one of our exchange partners, in which ZIL was stolen from a cold wallet. The incident is under active investigation, and we are working with the relevant parties to establish the root cause and full scope. As a precaution, all exchanges have been notified and asked to temporarily pause ZIL deposits and withdrawals to prevent the stolen funds from being moved or sold through centralised platforms. We understand the community will have questions. We will share further updates as soon as we have verified information. Please rely only on official Zilliqa channels for updates.

A question institutional teams ask: why not just run a compliance layer over an existing settlement chain? On a chain built to settle first, settlement is the state transition; permission would have to be built into the definition of a valid transaction, not added after it. You cannot retrofit that. The new post works through the architecture, and through the two-hander it depends on: LTIN issues the identity, Zilliqa runs the check beside it. https://blog.zilliqa.com/mediation-defined/

A new chapter, not a new pitch. LTIN and Zilliqa first started building together at LTIN's launch last October; today it becomes a partnership, which creates a new category. LTIN issues the verifiable identity; Zilliqa runs the neutral check that confirms…

A new chapter, not a new pitch. LTIN and Zilliqa first started building together at LTIN's launch last October; today it becomes a partnership, which creates a new category. LTIN issues the verifiable identity; Zilliqa runs the neutral check that confirms permission before a transaction settles, beside it, on any chain.

The roadmap is live - and there's a blog post explaining the thinking behind it. Short version: Institutional blockchain finance has always settled first, checked compliance after. Zilliqa is built to run that check before - on any chain or settlement rail. The roadmap sets out how we build that infrastructure from now through 2027, phase by phase, each step tied to something we ship. Read the blog: https://blog.zilliqa.com/compliance-before-settlement-the-zilliqa-roadmap/ Read the roadmap: https://zilliqa.com/roadmap More to come later this year. For now - this is the direction, on the record. Tell us what you think.
