Lisk is a platform for decentralized applications that allows developers to create, distribute, and manage dApps on sidechains using Javascript. It aims to make blockchain accessible to all through developer tools, a cryptocurrency wallet, and a vibrant community. The platform was formed in May 2016, following a Crypto hard fork, and was rebranded in Feb 2018. The hard fork led to a change in the database from SQLite to PostgreSQL. The Lisk team is led by blockchain pioneers Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows. LSK, one of the earliest tokens to the ICO party, is the native token of Lisk Network. The token began trading in Apr 2016 and hit an all-time high of $34 within two years.
