Review on Lisk by Toprak Dere
ABOUT Lisk
Lisk offers a similar Blockchain-based application platform, just as some technology companies (playstore applestore) allow individual developers to build and deploy applications.
As a big difference, it controls Google and Apple's own app stores, while Lisk is a decentralized and distributed platform.
Lisk provides a JavaScript-based software development kit (SDK) that a developer can use to easily write code into JavaScript to create the application you want.
This SDK architecture allows the development of complete blockchain applications, providing flexibility for developers to build both the backend and front end of the applications.
The backend refers to the core functionality of an application on the server / Blockchain network and is run based on code, while the frontend is the user interface that a user sees and interacts with on their computer / mobile device.
There are currently several Blockchain-based platforms that allow dApps to be created, hosted and operated on their networks. They host everything on a single blockchain or are more customized for private blockchains. The most prominent example of such a dApp-based Blockchain platform is the Ethereum network running smart contracts.
Lisk differs significantly from dApps platforms like this one. Besides application development, Lisk developers can create and configure their own Blockchains as a side chain. These side chains, which are Blockchains in their own existence, are associated with the basic Blockchain of the Lisk network called "mainchain".
The developer has full control to create their own side chains in line with the requirements of their applications.
In addition, Lisk has its own virtual currencies called LSK tokens.
