Lisk chain
Overview
Lisk, a blockchain platform established in 2016, initially operated as a standalone layer-1 network featuring a software development kit designed to facilitate blockchain development using JavaScript. In December 2023, the project declared a strategic shift to become an Ethereum layer-2 solution built on Optimism's OP Stack, claiming to be the first layer-1 to adopt Optimism's Superchain framework. As part of this transition, the LSK token was converted to an ERC-20 standard on Ethereum. The platform's current stated objective is to address specific challenges in emerging markets, leveraging Ethereum's liquidity and developer community.
Within The Counterparty graph, Lisk connects to 8 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, USD Coin, Morpho Blue.
