Lisk (LSK) cryptocurrency has been in the market for almost two years, having been released in 2016. It is gaining a lot of popularity, especially due to the fact that its blockchain is based on the Ethereum technology. Every investor wishing to use Lisk coins, have to understand how to use the Lisk (LSK) wallet.
Lisk incorporates Software Development Kit (SDK), a JavaScript framework enabling developers to develop apps that are compatible with the Lisk blockchain. With the SDK, developers have access to some of the best user friendly app developing tools. With this, the developers can develop games, shopping applications as well as any other kind of apps on the Lisk ecosystem.
With the JavaScript framework, Lisk network is a step ahead of even Ethereum. In most of the cryptocurrencies’ networks, developers are first forced to learn the new code for them to develop any app on the crypto’s network.
