Lisk Executives Discuss The Future of Blockchain Development And What's In Store For The Growing Lisk Ecosystem

In a series of ask-me-anything (AMA) sessions on Twitter and Reddit in late August and early September, Lisk (CRYPTO: LSK) executives answered questions about the blockchain application platform. Monica Tartau, Head of Marketing, Max Kordek, CEO and Co-Founder of Lisk, and Ishan Tiwari, Lead Backend Developer spoke about the mission to make blockchain technology accessible to everyone.

If you want to learn more about blockchain, or you would like to network with other Web3 enthusiasts, then the Berlin Blockchain Week from September 12th to the 18th is the place for you! Berlin Blockchain Week is hosted throughout the city of Berlin as a community driven initiative, gathering blockchain enthusiasts and crypto lovers to the capital of Germany.

Lisk is a blockchain application platform that envisions a world where blockchain technology is accessible to everyone. To make that happen, it has created a suite of open-source blockchain application development tools that enable developers to build blockchain apps using JavaScript and TypeScript — meaning they don't have to learn a new programming language to start building with blockchain.

At its blockchain developer event last June, Lisk's research team spoke to attendees about the progress they've made toward finishing an interoperability solution that would allow apps on its blockchain to communicate with any other apps in its blockchain network.  Now reportedly nearing the official launch of the Lisk blockchain application platform, the team is one step closer to deploying a scalable interoperability solution within its ecosystem.

Lisk LSK/USD has weakened from $1.88 to $1 since August 01, 2022, and the current price stands at $1.06. The cryptocurrency market continues to be under pressure, and according to Brian Brooks, CEO of the crypto infrastructure provider Bitfury, the Federal Reserve's approach to tackling inflation is a major reason for the current downturn.

The Lisk Platform will be one of the latest technologies added to the Lisk Network. It will revolutionize the power of Lisk by creating a single space for users to interact with the various Lisk applications.

Blockchain technology is seemingly changing the worlds of finance, data, security, and more, but the path to its development reportedly remains largely inaccessible to developers. Lisk says it is aiming to change that.

Founded by Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows in 2016, Lisk is a blockchain app development platform aimed at “empowering more developers to build custom, scalable blockchain apps”.  Lisk says its JavaScript-based software development kit comes with all the tools developers need to create a blockchain app even if they're new to the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.

Creating blockchain applications through JavaScript is at the heart of the Lisk network. Being that JavaScript is handily the most utilized programming language, this gives users of it a step up into the world of blockchain.

The Lisk Foundation has helped many new JavaScript developers to realize their potential and build applications that are changing technology forever. The Lisk Grant Program was set up to empower programmers to build blockchain applications on the Lisk protocol using the Lisk Software Development Kit (SDK).

Over the last few years, the explosion in blockchain's popularity has meant that more programs and resources are being developed to serve the space. From projects that foster cross-chain operability to new blockchains themselves, developers in the space are constantly coming up with new innovations.
