About Lisk

Lisk is a blockchain application platform that allows developers to build decentralized applications using JavaScript and TypeScript — the world's most widely used programming languages. Founded by Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows in 2016, Lisk aims to lower the barrier to blockchain development by eliminating the need to learn Solidity or other specialized smart contract languages. The Lisk SDK enables developers to create custom sidechains (called 'Lisk applications') that interoperate with the main chain. LSK is the native token used for transaction fees, staking, and governance within the Lisk ecosystem.
