Lesson 12: Zilliqa Units

In this lesson, we will explore the units in which the Zilliqa transactions take place.

The word Zilliqa is broken down into three parts to give us three units.

The basic billing unit of Zilliqa is Zil. However, Zilliqa supports basic units up to 12 decimal places.

These units make it convenient to perform transactions over a large range of amounts.

The Scilla IDE provides a handy unit conversion tool.
