Lisk is a crypto-currency and blockchain application platform. As a crypto-currency, much like
Bitcoin and other alternatives, it provides a decentralized payment
system and digital money network. The network itself, operates using a highly efficient Delegated-
Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus model, that is secured by
101 democratically elected delegates. The Lisk blockchain application platform, its most powerful component, allows the deployment, distribution and monetisation of blockchain applications and custom blockchains (sidechains) onto the decentralized Lisk network.
