Lisk is a
blockchain application platform whose mission is to bring
blockchain technology to the mainstream through an SDK (Sidechain
Development Kit) being written in JavaScript, the most commonly
used programming language in the world. By utilizing sidechain
technology and with a special focus on usability and accessibility,
Lisk aims to become the go-to platform for blockchain application
development.
Headquartered in Zug,
Switzerland, the Lisk Foundation raised over 14,000 Bitcoins during
its ICO in March 2016. Regular listeners will remember that I spoke
to Thomas Schouten on episode 600 of this podcast about
how the Lisk Academy is
aiming to facilitate the faster adoption of blockchain by the
general public.
On today's
tech podcast, I am talking with Lisk's tech evangelist Rachel
Black
about how
Lisk is working to engage their vital stakeholder community and
become the go-to platform for developing decentralized
applications.
Rachel
Black's role as Tech Evangelist involves engaging with Lisk’s
developer community through blog posts, events and social media on
the latest product developments in order to bridge the
understanding across tech and marketing.
