Lisk is a blockchain platform (with its own Lisk (LSK) cryptocurrency) that aims to make it easier for developers to build decentralized applications (DApps) using JavaScript, one of the most widely used programming languages.
Lisk focuses on making blockchain development more accessible by allowing developers to create DApps using JavaScript, a popular programming language with a large developer community.
Lisk’s architecture allows developers to create modular and customizable DApps by choosing the components they need for their specific use case.
Sidechain Architecture
Lisk utilizes a sidechain architecture, where each DApp or blockchain application can operate on its own sidechain. This helps improve scalability and allows for customization based on specific application needs.
Lisk Core is the main software that powers the Lisk platform. It includes a set of tools and APIs that enable developers to build and deploy DApps on their own sidechains.
Furthermore, Lisk uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)Â consensus mechanism, which involves a selected group of delegates (validators) responsible for validating transactions and securing the network. DPoS is designed to improve speed and efficiency compared to traditional proof-of-work (PoW) mechanisms.
Lisk Software Development KitÂ
Lisk Software Development Kit (SDK) provides developers with the necessary tools, documentation, and resources to create their own custom blockchain applications. While, the Lisk App SDK is specifically designed for creating DApps on Lisk’s platform. It simplifies the development process by offering modules and libraries that developers can use to build various functionalities.
Lisk token
Lisk Hub is a user-friendly interface that allows users to interact with the Lisk blockchain, manage their LSK tokens, and access DApps built on the platform.
Lisk (LSK) is a native cryptocurrency used on the Lisk blockchain platform. It serves as the fuel for the platform, enabling developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps).Â
Currently, Lisk token has completed a migration from its independent blockchain to Ethereum, now issuing LSK tokens as ERC-20 tokens.Â
