This is a project that’s been around for a while, launching in April of 2016. Over the last year the project has made a lot of progress and now we’re seeing other projects building the Lisk platform.
On Monday it will be having the open beta release of Lisk Core 1.0.0. It’s the blockchain app platform and the center of the Lisk universe.
There will also be a SDK, or software developer kit. They basically want to make a bunch of pluggable components that developers can use. Lisk already has a lot of the surrounding infrastructure in place too, like Lisk Elements, the javascript library and Lisk Template, which is a set of standards for building on Lisk.
Tomorrow will include a blog post with additional official information in regards to Lisk Core Open Beta Launch. This comes after almost two years of work by the Lisk team and the entire community behind Lisk. It presents a huge milestone in the projects history and development. Stay up to date on all of the developments directly on their Github.
For interaction with the network Lisk created Lisk Hub. It’s an app with things like a wallet and dashboard. There’s already some projects building on Lisk. One is Rencoin. It’s a proof of work coin that encourage children to learn through incentives of earning REN coins for their efforts and achievements.
Another is Madana, which is creating a decentralized pool of information where owners of data can keep their data private but profit off it as well. And there's more coming. TLDR: A Javascript ran Ethereum with sidechains.
Currently the Lisk team is made up of 41 members. 22 of those are developers, 9 are marketers, 6 creatives and 4 in operations. Some notable members include:
Max Kordek – One of the founders and the current president of Lisk, Max has been in the blockchain space since 2012. He founded Lisk with the aim to bring blockchain development to the masses.
Oliver Beddows – The other co-founder and current Vice President and CTO, Oliver has been a full stack developer working for various enterprise applications with 12 years experience. He’s a blockchain and open-source enthusiast and aims to help people build blockchain applications simply and easily.

When Iker joined Lisk as a Cryptographer in December, he became the first member of the soon-to-expand Science Team. He contributes to Lisk everyday by analyzing every issue and scenario from a theoretical point of view. We had a chance to sit down and chat about what he does at Lisk and learn a bit more about his background. Read More at @Lisk-Official Steemit | Conversation with Lisk Cryptographer
Conclusion
Overall, Lisk is a relatively unique project that has a lot going for it. Despite the potentially tough competition we think the use of Javascript is a great feature that could well prove to be a major factor in bringing in new developers.
With the consistent updates and improvements, solid team and easy of use, the continual growth of Lisk is looking like an inevitability.
The Lisk team is mainly based in Berlin but have members and contractors all over the world.
