Zilliqa, the high-throughput, low-fee layer 1 blockchain platform, is delighted to announce its integration with Fireblocks, an enterprise platform for building blockchain applications and managing digital asset operations.
This integration enables Fireblocks customers to securely store ZIL tokens in their Fireblocks Vault and conduct transactions on the Fireblocks Network, an enterprise-grade digital asset transfer platform for rapid digital asset transactions and dynamic payment workflows, facilitating the transfer of digital assets and tokens on Zilliqa amongst enterprise customers.
Through this strategic integration and its native compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) applications, Zilliqa enhances accessibility for users, supporting popular wallets and developer tools, and fostering the development of powerful multi-chain applications.
Fireblocks serves thousands of financial institutions and has facilitated the transfer of over $6 trillion in digital assets.

This collaboration not only strengthens Zilliqa’s presence in the institutional finance realm but enhances its Web3 ecosystem and benefits its endeavors within the luxury and entertainment sectors through the Fireblocks Non-Custodial Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) offering, which delivers a secure and scalable wallet platform for corporates, fintechs and Web3 businesses.
