Listed as LSK, this cryptocurrency is currently has market cap of more than 700 million US dollars (at the time of writing). Ever since the word ‘Bitcoin’ first entered our vocabulary, no one expected a flood of other altcoins to enter the market, one after another, within a very short period of time there are literally thousands of cryptos popping here and there. It has become hard to believe what their whitepaper says and what they are going to do in future.

But out of all coins here is one which is not just promising but doing actual work which is going to revolutionize the way we use cryptos.

So What's Different ?

As of now we all are aware how slow can a single transaction can be with a blockchain technology. but whats different about Lisk is it uses sidechains to fasten then network and transaction itself. Side-chains are additions to the main blockchain. Think of it like Post-It notes applied on book pages - you can add more value yet not clutter the main text. Side-chains can be attached to independent blockchains and serve as a place to put all the high-volume transactions without interfering with the main blockchain.

Another interesting character of Lisk is it's built and designed for developers first and consumer later. We have seen how developers changed the way we use smartphone, how easy it has become to use our phones as part of life. Lisk gets it, right now there are apps in apple store and play store for pretty much everything you can imagine. It may not seem that revolutionary right now but it's a big deal for emerging market like cryptos. Mass adaption happens when things get easier and convenient to use and this is whats magical about Lisk. Anyone who knows how to code in Nodejs can create app and deploy apps which will over a time make lisk more valuable and user friendly.Think of it as a menu in a restaurant where you can eat food of your own choice. Isn't it great?

Decentralized apps ('dapps') has great potential to be integrated into a wide variety of applications, including 'immutable storage, a decentralized federation of hosting, oracle services, or computation of smart contracts.

Here are some list of things that we will be seeing in future from Lisk.
