Lisk (LSK)

What is Lisk?

Lisk (LSK) is an open source, decentralized platform for blockchain applications. It kicked off from a fork of Crypti by Oliver Beddows and Max Kordek in early 2016. Its ICO raised around 14,000 BTC, marking it as one of the most successful at the time with the mainnet coming live on May 24 of 2016. Lisk uses Javascript as its application language, a programming language many programmers are already familiar with. The use of a scripting language is giving it a tradeoff for faster apps while having some inefficiencies in program execution. Lisk uses sidechains for applications, in contrast to Ethereum where apps are stored on the main chain. This helps in addressing scalability but has the downside of leaving Lisk's infrastructure open to other potential issues while it still doesn't have a virtual machine. The project has in been criticized for its Proof of Stake distribution system that has been described as "closed circle" as it only distributes coins to its holders.
