Lisk Foundation shares requirement update for upcoming Lisk protocol mainnet migration

As time continues to inch closer for the upcoming Lisk Core 3.0.0, which would see it implement LIPs 0001 – 0036 in mainnet, Lisk Foundation has shared an update giving clear instructions for stakeholders to follow for a smooth transition. This upgrade is by far Lisk’s most significant upgrade since creation in 2016, which sees consensus protocol changes, block and transaction times and changes related to accounts in the Lisk Protocol.

Several stakeholders within the Lisk ecosystem will undergo migrations or updates covering Tool and Service migration which covers those running their own nodes, those relying on data from legacy blockchain and those relying on the Lisk Core API.

Official recap of Lisk.js 2021 conference

Lisk.js 2021 conference was a blast and launched a new horizon for the Lisk blockchain. As an annual event that started in 2019, this year’s event had over 1,000 people registrations, at least 9 hours of sizzling contents with more than 450 slides shared during the event’s presentations, and the YouTube videos of the event now have more than 9,000 views and counting. The official recap of the event of Lisk.js 2021 is now available within the public domain for anyone to catch up on some of the important highlights of the event.

Lisk joins the world to celebrate World Environment Day

Climate change is such an important topic and the decentralised network ecosystem also largely contributes to the Earth’s growing carbon footprint. As the world celebrated this year’s World Earth’s Day on the 5th of June, Lisk is proud to join its voice to commemorate the World Earth Day event. The Lisk blockchain is a DPoS consensus-driven chain that scales tremendously without necessarily adding to the earth’s carbon footprint like Bitcoin’s PoW. Delegates simply vote their preferred validators who are saddled with the responsibility of confirming transactions and proposing the next block in the Lisk blockchain.

Winners for Lisk Discord Levelling contest for May

Lisk Discord Levelling Contest, a community initiative aimed at encouraging Lisk enthusiasts to share information, has been running for about three months.
