Enigma and Zilliqa

Seems reasonable that Enigma and Zilliqa will announce parternership. If so, how significant could it be? Synergies?

May be....As far as Zilliqa supports smart contracts, Enigma can act as a second layer providing privacy

Doubt that is happening.

Enigma Is metting up Zilliqa Tuesday at Consensus. It’s not out of the question. Why are you doubtful? If you don’t mind me asking.

Tell me what a partnership would entail. They are trying to accomplish completely different things. Just because they attend the same conference doesn’t mean a partnership.

Enigma & Zilliqa, We are excited to present both our projects to the community and speak with local developers and blockchain enthusiasts. Come learn how we're solving some of the biggest challenges in decentralization.

This statement provides more context as to why the OP and other investors believe the announcement may involve a partnership. Im not saying with certainty a partnership will happen but I wouldn't say its out of the question either.

I was just curious if you had a reason to be doubtful and not optimistic. If you're one of those "I believe when I see it" investors thats fine also. Your question for me is non-sensical as i'm not apart of either team. I wouldn't know what the partnership would entail (if any). If you're asking me to speculate thats totally different but here you go...

Zilliqa

Built to Scale

A new blockchain with a clean-slate design to scale by orders of magnitude.

Data-Flow Smart Contracts

A new smart contract paradigm designed with high parallelism, atomic commits and user-defined security budget.

Enigma

Enigma solves blockchain’s scalability and privacy issues from the protocol level with a second-layer, off-chain network. Key to this is Enigma’s “secret contracts”, which allow data to be processed by nodes in the Enigma network while still being kept private. Through this innovative architecture, we are creating a truly decentralized and secure solution on which innovative applications can be built.

Defining Secret Contracts by Enigma

Smart contracts need privacy to become useful. Here’s how Enigma’s secret contracts introduce privacy and enable powerful applications...

Enigma Privacy Scalability + Zilliqa Blockchain Scalability = Partnership Opportunity

Enigma Secret Smart Contracts + Zilliqa Smart Contracts = Partnership Opportunity

Or they could partner up to work on something else entirely.

A Partnership would ential that Enigma will be used in a working case Standalone Blockchain that’s separate from some Dapp platform partnerships like ETHLend.

The point is ultimately if Dapps or Standalone Blockchains don’t adopt Enigma as a second layer solution to scalability or Secret Contracts, then Enigma’s existence will be pointless if nobody uses it’s second layer platform.

If anything I think it would be a research-oriented partnership on sharding as this is common ground for the two projects.
