Lisk Foundation update on Lisk Service

Earlier in the week, Lisk developers released Lisk Service 0.4.0-beta.0. This version introduces market price API and adds numerous fixes for Lisk Core/SDK compatibility. Lisk Service is a web application that allows interaction with various blockchain networks based on Lisk and Bitcoin protocols. Its main function is to provide data to the UI clients such as Lisk Desktop and Lisk Mobile. Lisk Service makes it possible to access all blockchain live data in a similar way to the regular Lisk SDK API, and in addition provides users with much more details and endpoints, such as geolocation and various statistics about network usage.

Lisk announces it will be part of WeAreDevelopers’ World Congress 2021

Lisk Foundation announced that it will take part in this year’s event of WeAreDevelopers’ World Congress held on June 28th and 29thin Berlin, Germany. WeAreDevelopers World Congress is the world’s largest annual gathering of software developers, engineers, software architects and tech decision-makers. Co-founded by Sead Ahmetovic, WeAreDevelopers’ has held several past editions of WeAreDevelopers’ Congress in Vienna (Austria), where it hosted Apple’s former co-founder Steve Wozniack, and in Berlin in 2019.

Lisk co-founder and CEO Max Kordek on DecryptDaily Podcast show

Decrypt Media is one of the leading blockchain and cryptocurrency-focused media enterprises in the space. Incubated by Consensys, Decrypt Media has amassed massive followership and has a lot of people tuning in to listen to its regular podcast contents.

Decrypt featured Max Kordek, Co-founder and CEO of Lisk. Max had the pleasure of walking the host, Matthew Deimer and the podcast listeners on the progress made by Lisk blockchain since its creation. Max gave insights on Lisk Interoperability Solution and how several LIPs updates have been published and implemented. He also talked about how successful the several demos it had during the last Lisk.js 2021 conference.

Matthew also asked Max what is the future goal of Lisk, Max responded by saying Lisk will be focusing on implementing the Lisk interoperability Solution which is the last step in the development phase before Lisk becomes a full-fledged blockchain platform.

Max Kordex seized the opportunity to showcase how easy it will be for Javascript developers across the globe to leverage Lisk SDK to build their solutions. Max made sure to stress that most blockchains will be interconnected in the future when asked a question regarding the subject of Lisk’s uniqueness and what sets it apart from its competitors. And because of that, those who champion interoperability solutions like Lisk is currently doing will not only be relevant but also be the dominant chains of the future.
