Lisk is a blockchain platform that focuses on innovating the area of decentralized blockchain applications, also known as DApps, and letting developers to build, publish and distribute these applications. The platform runs on JavaScript and the apps themselves are created on a sidechain which is separated from the main blockchain. Running applications on a sidechain prevents impacting the performance, security and stability of the main blockchain. Lisk tokens can be sent between participants like digital currency just like on other cryptocurrency platforms. Developers can use Lisk tokens for their sidechains or create their own unique tokens which allow them to monetize their applications.

Vice President and CTO of the Lisk Foundation. Oliver works for a future where blockchain technology can support anyone and lowering the barrier between user friendly technology and creative developers.
Lisk uses the blockchain technology the same as Ethereum but what makes it different from the others is the technology of a sidechain. A sidechain can be used for decentralized storage services or blog networks, identity verification services or a sidechain with anonymous transactions. The method of validating transactions within Lisk and creating blocks is executed using a consensus algorithm called Delegated Proof of Stake. Lisk holders vote on a selection of 101 delegates who create new blocks in the blockchain and collect block rewards. Each round of consensus consists of 101 blocks with each delegate assigned one block forge. If a delegate is unable to forge their assigned block, the activity in that block is moved to the next block.
Lisk lacks the ability to prevent infinite loops in the process of programming
When programming, some JavaScript features are hidden
Lisk is fairly new opposed to Ethereum which is far more developed
The CEO Max Kordek voiced his opinion that whitepapers are generally used to pitch investors for funding and Lisk was funded from the beginning (and is still very well funded) so there was no need for a whitepaper later on. That is why Lisk rather provides a designated website https://lisk.io/documentation/the-lisk-protocol/introduction that provides information for sought after developers.

Lisk uses JavaScript which is undeniably the language of the internet. It’s technology has proven itself so far because Lisk hasn’t experienced any threat whatsoever. Lisk is still a young project so only time will show how stable and secure it is.
Blockchain has the potential to revolutionize the technological and financial industry. The largest obstacle for it today comes from the fact that only a small spectrum of the public knows how to utilize and build upon it. Lisk has a goal to bridge that gap, providing developers the education to actually better understand the technology and harness their already existing skills to build an application.

Lisk is a very promising long-term investment opportunity. Lisk has also shown powerful stength in the last cryto bear market. In the past week alone Lisk got listed on the largest Japanese exchange, BitFlyer, and on the largest Chinese exchange, Huobi. Because Lisk is a competitor to Ethereum, its future depends on developers using it for their DApps and etc.
