lets say it does amazing sharding. super fast sharding. why is ZIL itself worth anything?(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4150376&forum_id=7#37361257)
everything else is horseshit(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4150376&forum_id=7#37362109)
ZIL is aiming to be able to do all three and we will see if they can actually pull it off. Mainnet is scheduled for 1/31/2019.
The implications are all the dapps that ETH currently can't run would be able to be run and monetized on ZIL. That's the hope anyway.
I may be talking out of my ass here so take it for what it's worth which may be very little
