Token, network, contracts — and the wallet between you and them.
ZIL is the native token of Zilliqa. It pays the network fees that keep transactions moving, and it is the asset validators and delegators commit when they take part in securing the network.
The network is the shared record itself: a public blockchain where smart contracts — small programs stored on-chain — power applications, from exchanges to governance tools. Every transfer and every contract call is recorded and can be checked by anyone.
A wallet is your side of that relationship. It does not hold coins inside the app; it holds the keys to your accounts and lets you read balances, review details and sign the transactions you choose to make. Decentralized services around the network — explorers, staking providers, bridges — are separate products with their own terms.
The network keeps the shared record. The wallet helps you read it, and decide what to add to it.

Zilliqa Wallet
Public Layer 1
Zilliqa is a public blockchain network with its own shared record, maintained by independent validators.
ZIL
The network's native asset — used for fees, staking and activity across ecosystem applications.
Proof-of-Stake
Zilliqa 2.0 introduced a Proof-of-Stake architecture in which validators commit stake to participate.
EVM · Chain ID 32769
An Ethereum-compatible environment gives applications and wallets a familiar technical foundation.
Zilliqa Wallet connects the desktop perspective with the network: accounts, transaction context and the wider ecosystem.

UNDERSTAND SENDING AND RECEIVING
Three steps, eachwith room to think.
Transfers on a desktop screen give you space to read every field. The wallet separates entering details from reviewing them, so confirmation is always a deliberate second step.
Enter
Choose the sending account, then paste or select the recipient address and type the amount. The form checks the address format, and the estimated network fee is displayed before you continue.
Review
A dedicated screen restates the sender, recipient, amount, network and fee. This is the moment to compare the address against the one you were given. Edit returns you to the form; nothing is sent yet.
Receive
Show your address as text and as a QR code, with a reminder of which network the address applies to. Verify that network with the sender, and share the address through a channel you trust.
Send, review and receive · Example account
EVERY TRANSACTION TELLS A STORY
A transaction is a record. You should be able to read it.
Each entry in your activity carries a status, a hash and a short timeline. When you want independent confirmation, open the hash in a block explorer — a public website that reads the same network record.
Pending
Signed and submitted, waiting to be included in a block. Pending is a normal state, not an error.
Confirmed
Included in a block and part of the network's shared record.
Failed
Rejected by the network — for example, because of insufficient funds for the fee. A submission is never a guarantee of success.

Inside Zilliqa EVM
A familiar environment, on a network with its own character.
With Zilliqa 2.0, the network supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine — the same execution environment used by many modern blockchains. ZIL remains the network's native token. Seven topics, one network: scroll to move through them.
ZIL
The native asset
ZIL pays the network fees that keep transactions moving, and it is the asset validators and delegators commit to help secure the network.
Zilliqa EVM
Smart contracts, familiar tools
Smart contracts are programs stored on-chain that applications and wallets interact with. EVM compatibility means the tools and patterns developers already know can work on Zilliqa — and every transaction still pays its fee in ZIL.
0x addresses
EVM-style addresses are the standard format, the same style used across EVM-compatible networks.
Chain ID 32769
The Zilliqa EVM mainnet identifier. Tools use it to make sure a transaction is signed for the right network.
Shared tooling
Developers can build with EVM-compatible tooling, which helps more applications reach the ecosystem.
Transactions
From signature to record
A transaction moves through four stages before it becomes part of the shared record.
01Transaction submitted
02Network validation
03Block inclusion
04Finalized record
Validators
Stake instead of mining
Validators commit ZIL as stake and take part in producing and confirming blocks. Their stake gives them a reason to follow the rules — and the network a way to agree on one shared record.
Most holders delegate through an staking interface rather than run a validator. Rewards vary and are never guaranteed; staking programs are separate services with their own terms.
Discover wallets, DeFi, decentralized exchanges, explorers, staking, bridges, governance and developer infrastructure. Each project defines its own connections and supported networks.
Instead of mining, Zilliqa's network relies on validators who commit ZIL as stake and take part in producing and confirming blocks. Their stake gives them a reason to follow the rules — and the network a way to agree on one shared record.
Most holders don't run a validator. Instead, they delegate ZIL to one, adding to that validator's stake. In return, delegators may share in network rewards — which vary with network conditions and validator performance, and are never guaranteed.
Look at a validator's track record, commission and reliability before delegating.
Delegate
Commit ZIL through an staking interface. Your ZIL supports that validator's stake.
Rewards accrue — variably
Rewards depend on network conditions and validator performance. They are not fixed or guaranteed.
Unstake with patience
Withdrawing usually involves an unbonding period before ZIL is available again.
Different ways to participate
Two ways to stake, with different trade-offs.
Direct delegation
Non-liquid staking
A direct position with a validator.
Committed ZIL
ZIL is delegated to a validator and stays committed while staked.
Unbonding period
Withdrawal involves an unbonding period.
Simpler structure
Fewer moving parts: your position is with one validator.
Program-defined rewards
Rewards are claimed according to the staking program's rules.
Tokenized position
Liquid staking
A token that represents your stake.
Tokenized stake
You receive a token that represents your staked position.
Ecosystem use
That token can be held or used in compatible ecosystem apps.
Additional risks
Adds smart-contract and market risk on top of validator risk.
Variable token value
The token's value may differ from the underlying ZIL.
Compare validator commission, reward rules and withdrawal terms. Rewards vary with network participation and validator performance.
The Zilliqa ecosystem
A network is the sum of what's built on it.
ZIL · native asset
Discovery, with context
The Zilliqa ecosystem spans wallets, DeFi, decentralized exchanges, explorers, staking providers, bridges, governance and infrastructure. Our ecosystem page explains what each category does, so you can evaluate services rather than just recognize logos.
Explore each project through its own documentation, supported networks and connection options.
Decentralized exchanges and liquidity protocols on Zilliqa let users trade and provide liquidity directly on-chain, under each protocol's own terms and risks.
Tools and services
Explorers, bridges and analytics services help you move between networks, check balances and understand activity beyond your own wallet.
Access points
Exchanges and on-ramps are where many people first acquire ZIL. Always withdraw to an address on the network the exchange specifies.
A decentralized ecosystem brings distinct tools together. Choose the service and network that match your intended action.
Confidence through clarity
Good habits do most of the work.
Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. A few consistent habits protect you far better than any single feature can.
Verify the details
Check the first and last characters of every address, the amount and the network on the review screen.
Recognize pressure
Urgency, unexpected prizes and 'support agents' who message you first are common signs of a scam.
Keep recovery offline
Store your recovery phrase privately and offline. No legitimate service will ask you to type it into a website or chat.
Review what you sign
Read connection and approval requests carefully. If you don't understand a request, don't approve it.
Before Zilliqa 2.0, addresses were commonly shown in a bech32 format beginning with zil1. Today, EVM-style 0x addresses are standard. Knowing which one you're looking at prevents confusion — and converting between formats changes how an address is written, not where funds are.

FAQ
Questions worth answering
What is Zilliqa Wallet?
Zilliqa Wallet brings ZIL, account interfaces and transaction context together on desktop. Assets and transaction records belong to the decentralized Zilliqa network; account control follows your signing keys.
What is ZIL?
ZIL is the native token of the Zilliqa blockchain. It is used to pay network fees, to stake with validators that help secure the network, and as a medium of exchange across ecosystem applications.
What is Zilliqa EVM?
Zilliqa 2.0 provides an Ethereum Virtual Machine–compatible environment. That means familiar address formats (0x…), tooling and smart-contract patterns can be used on Zilliqa. The Zilliqa EVM mainnet uses chain ID 32769.
Which operating systems are supported?
Windows (v2.4.7), macOS (v2.3.9), Linux (v2.4.3). The website works in any modern browser, but the wallet itself is installed desktop software.
How do network fees work?
Every transaction pays a fee to the network, denominated in ZIL. The wallet shows an estimated fee before you review and confirm; the final fee is recorded in the transaction details once the transaction is processed.
How can a transaction be verified?
Every transaction has a unique hash. Copy it from the wallet's transaction details and look it up in a Zilliqa block explorer to see its status, block, sender, recipient and fee independently of the wallet.
What is ZIL staking?
Staking is the process of committing ZIL to support validators in Zilliqa's Proof-of-Stake network. Participants may receive rewards, but rewards vary, are not guaranteed, and come with trade-offs such as lock-up or unbonding periods.
What is the difference between legacy and EVM accounts?
Zilliqa's history includes a legacy address format (bech32, starting with zil1) and the newer EVM-style 0x format. They are different representations with different contexts. Converting how an address is written is not the same as migrating funds — follow Zilliqa guidance for any migration or recovery procedure.
Can I install Zilliqa Wallet on a mobile phone?
Desktop files are provided for Windows, macOS and Linux. Choose your platform in the Downloads section.
Where can I find download and security help?
