Lisk is a blockchain application platform and crypto-currency, which offers an all round solution for Node.js and JavaScript developers to deploy their own blockchain applications. Lisk blockchain apps can be built from the ground up in pure Javascript and take advantage of the powerful Lisk APIs. In addition, every app is running in its own sidechain to ensure that Lisk itself is safe. In the future all apps will be executed in the Lisk VM to ensure they are safe to run on any node.
