About Lisk:
This platform functions as an alternative to other decentralized application platforms: due to the simplicity of the platform and its use of JavaScript, programmers will be able to develop their own dapps rapidly and easily. The platform’s team invites the crypto-currency community to test the already available features on the platform’s testnet. Free testnet tokens are available on their faucet page.
Aspiring dapp developers can start learning how to code dapps on the platform by reading the documentation section on the Lisk website. More information about the technical aspects of Lisk is available in the white paper.
Lisk started their Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on the 22nd of February 2016. In just a little over three weeks, Lisk has already raised over 4600 BTC, or more than 1.9 Million USD. The ICO will end on the 21st March, 2016.
