Aiming to make the Blockchain technology more accessible, Lisk is an open source decentralized app and sidechain development platform.
Lisk has its origins in Crypti, an open source blockchain app platform which couldn’t really achieve its founders’ goals without the right amount of firepower. Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows eventually implemented a hard fork in Crypti in 2016, giving rise to Lisk as we know it today. The Lisk Team consists of around 40 employees in total, dedicated to the goal of bringing blockchain development to the public.
There are around 15-20 exchanges through which you can trade cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Ethereum for LSK tokens. Since the Lisk cryptocurrency is relatively new in the market, it’s difficult to find exchanges which would accept fiat coins for Lisk coins.
Major exchanges supporting buying of Lisk cryptocoin include Binance, Bittrex, HitBTC and Coinroom, and some exchanges which accept fiat coins for the same include BitBay (USD, EUR), Exrates (USD) and Coinroom (EUR, GBP).
The best wallet for your Lisk coins, perhaps, is its own walled (Lisk wallet). It’s a desktop wallet, compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. There is a web version available of the Lisk wallet, though it’s not the most popular among investors.
Using the wallet is fairly simple.
Like Bitcoin and others, Lisk is a cryptocurrency which can be mined. Unlike Bitcoin, however, it works on a proof-of-stake consensus system[3], so mining it is different from mining Bitcoins. It also has no maximum number, unlike Bitcoin, of which only 21 million will ever exist.
The circulating supply, as of June 2018, is about 107 million tokens, and the market cap is close to 708 million USD, inching closer every day towards $1 billion.
