Lisk Cryptocurrency Review
2 min readJan 9, 2020
Lisk is an easier-to-use development platform for developers, unlike Ethereum. For example, to write a decentralized application (DAapps) on the Ethereum blockchain, developers must learn the Solidity programming language. And to work on the Lisk platform, there is no such need. Therefore, it is chosen by most software developers.
Besides, the creators of Lisk pay a lot of attention to the support of developers. As a result, application development will be much more convenient. Consider the features of cryptocurrency in more detail:
- Firstly, it is a platform for decentralized blockchain applications. This is important since Ethereum is often called a platform for distributed applications, not smart contracts. However, if smart contracts affect only the external interface of the application, then the distributed application is completely associated with the blockchain. So developers freely run applications using Lisk, without using third-party services;
- Secondly, in Lisk side chain support is possible. They are separate blockchains. They can be integrated into Lisk, and independently. This opens up many opportunities for developers. For example, using JavaScript makes it easy to organize a side chain on Lisk. It can be a game or a social network, and they will be tied to the main Lisk blockchain;
- Third, Lisk has its app store. All that the user needs to do is select the application and download it in the “client” of the platform.
