Lisk week in Review – 2

by admin · Published November 22, 2019 · Updated January 8, 2020

Many news came up this week, but the most important one was the LiskJS event, planned since months. Featuring also: Lisk Builders Program, LSK listed on Kraken, List of existing PoC apps and delegates’ overview.

LiskJS Recap
The event, held on 19th November, was divided in two parts: in the early afternoon attendees joined a Lisk.bike Workshop and then had the chance to apply the Lisk SDK to a real-world blockchain use-case. Everyone who did the workshop got a free Raspberry Pi and some sensors. Then, the coding challenges awarded the top 3 projects. Francesco, Sander and 1st place winner Jonathan received each a smart backpack and total value of €2,500 in LSK tokens.

The guys behind the #LiskBike proof-of-concept are running their own workshops – teaching our attendees how to create a #blockchain-based bike rental system. Check them out here: https://t.co/ISjJ15QZMq #LiskJS2019 pic.twitter.com/PvL7cxSkSF
