Lisk (LSK) Review: Core 2.0 Testing Complete, Ready for Deployment

Lisk is a blockchain development platform aimed at simplifying the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) through the use of open-source tools. It makes blockchain development more appealing and available to a broader group of developers through its use of the popular and well-known Javascript language.

Javascript has been used by developers for many years to build web-based applications because it's an interface that is proven to be well-received by users and easy to program on for developers. Its integration into the Lisk platform gives new blockchain developers a much-needed entry point into programming on the emerging technology.

The Lisk blockchain is powered by its LSK token, which is a delegated proof-of-stake (PoS) cryptocurrency. Developers can utilize the LSK token to power their dApps or create their very own proprietary token for their network. Lisk is currently working towards becoming the first 'modular' cryptocurrency, meaning it can utilize sidechains to overcome the scalability issues that affect many traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
