Clearing Up Misconceptions
Max Kordek, CEO of Lisk, recently took to the web to bust some of the most common myths surrounding his project. Spoiler alert: Lisk is NOT a fork of Ethereum, despite what some internet sleuths might think. It’s like those rumors that keep popping up about a celebrity being engaged—you know, the ones that everyone keeps repeating until they become truth. Kordek clearly states, “The Lisk code base was originally forked from the Crypti project, which we worked on before Lisk was even an idea!” It turns out Lisk has origins that reach back into the Crypti jungle, not the Ethereum forest.
The Power of Sidechains
Moving on from the past, Kordek emphasizes that Lisk offers a platform where developers can create their own sidechains. Think of this as creating custom LEGO structures while others stick to the generic sets. Using the Lisk App SDK, users have the freedom to build everything from games to social networks without needing a PhD in Computer Science. And yes, everything operates in JavaScript, which has you covered like a warm blanket on a chilly day.
Opportunities in China
Kordek’s recent trip to China opened his eyes to an ocean of opportunities waiting for Lisk. He describes China as a different culture bursting with blockchain enthusiasts and potential partnerships. It’s like standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, gazing into endless possibilities. “I encountered a different culture,” he notes, “and I personally see a huge potential for Lisk in China.” With plans to return by late September, he’s set on building bridges (not literal ones) and making Lisk a household name in the Asian blockchain ecosystem.
A Note on Readiness
Now, if you’re wondering whether Lisk is ready to rock the blockchain world, Kordek has an honest response: not yet! He quips, “If we were ready, there wouldn’t have been an ICO!” This is the kind of transparency every budding tech project needs. It takes time, perhaps months or years, to really shape up the app market. However, big changes are on the horizon, including establishing a new office in Berlin and seeking out legal pathways. The office launch sounds more exciting than planning a kid’s birthday party—but with regulations involved!
Community Updates Coming Soon
As a treat for their committed community, Kordek shares that an update (0.3.2) is on its way, aimed at smoothing out some pesky bugs. It’s like finding out that your favorite TV show got renewed for another season! He assures that some critical fixes, previously planned for later, will now be bundled in this next release. Lisk’s priority is to ensure that their transactions are as smooth as butter—especially for exchanges.
