Lisk is a blockchain infrastructure aiming to be easy-to-use for the general public, as well as for developers to build decentralized applications.
Through Lisk, developers can build, publish, distribute, and monetize their applications by using a Software Development Kit (SDA) that enables custom blockchains, smart contracts, cloud storage, and computing nodes.
The network runs a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism where token holders can delegate tokens to support block producers they trust.
The LSK token is used in voting for governance, staking and delegating, as well as gas payment for simple token transactions and smart-contract executions.
