Lisk is an open-source block-chain platform powered by LSK tokens that allows developers to write decentralized applications using the JavaScript programming language. The Lisk will allow developers to create applications with their own special tokens in the side chains associated with the Lisk network.

It was forked from Crypti by Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows in May 2015. Shortly after entering the list, Bitcoin became the second most popular crypto currency in trade.

Lisk is a crypto that allows the development and distribution of JavaScript-based block-and-chain applications and provides a new generation platform. Lisk provides an easy-to-use interface and full-featured ecosystem access. With LISK, developers can build, publish, distribute, and monetize their applications in a cryptographically enhanced system that allows the use of customized block chains, intelligent contracts, cloud storage and computing nodes.

Why JavaScript

The Lisk team seems to have decided to use JavaScript for a few reasons. The main element is that any developer can access and is basically everywhere on the web. JS is used to add interactive items to almost every web site. JavaScript was written in only 10 days and is the most popular programming language in the world. Using JS, the LISK team can access the most common languages in the world, which means more users are more developers. More developers mean more value.

What makes Lisk different?

One of the biggest problems with other cryptographic currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum is scalability. It is much easier to scale because there is much less swelling as it implements a side chain for every application developed on the lisc platform. As applications are developed in side chains, if something goes wrong in another application, it will not force Lisk, because Lisk will not affect the main block chain. Side chains also mean more security and faster application for application developers. Another thing that specializes in Lisk is that it is an open source platform. At the moment there are 29 contributors to the Lisk project and are shown by real developers as one of the best crypto currencies.
