Lisk was one of the first things I posted about 2 years ago on Steemit, but there has been a lot happen in the space since this time.

In my past [post](https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@stealthtrader/is-lisk-a-competitor-for-ethereum) I explained what Lisk was, and how it compared to Ethereum.

So today I want to do an update covering just Lisk.

<center><h3>What is Lisk?</h3></center>

According to the Lisk [website](https://lisk.io/):
>Lisk makes it easy for developers to build and deploy blockchain applications in JavaScript.

So basically a JavaScript smart contract platform, which also has sidechain capability.

<center><h3>What is a sidechain?</h3></center>

A sidechain is a "personal blockchain that can be easily built and customized", which also "house all the data of your dapp" (_decentralized application_).

So having the sidechain capability allows users to scale basically unlimited, and not have to worry about congestion!

<center><h3>Conclusion</h3></center>

There seems to be a lot of hype around smart contract platforms, and there are a lot in the crypto market..
- Ethereum
- EOS
- NEO
- ADA
- QTUM

And I am sure there many more!

It is just great to see a project like Lisk, which is not just a platform for decentralized apps, but is focused on the scaling so that it can be adopted on a global scale!

So if you want to know any more about Lisk check out their website https://lisk.io/ for more information.
