What is Cryptocurrency Risk (LISK)? Features, halving, hard forks, mining, and future prospects summary
Cryptocurrency risk (LISK) is a cryptocurrency that Japanese people are familiar with because it is listed on the Japanese exchangeCoincheckin Japan.
And LISK is a project that has been期待されていた (anticipated) from early days, having raised 14,000 BTC in an ICO.
In this article, we will introduce LISK along the following table of contents, but as a cryptocurrency with future expectations, please read to the end.
What is cryptocurrency risk (LISK)?
Cryptocurrency risk (LISK) is a cryptocurrency where the platform is called LISK and the currency name is LSK (Risk).
The purpose of developing LISK is to create decentralized applications in a non-centralized manner, aiming to enable users on the platform to conduct business easily and safely.
Also, LISK adopts smart contracts and is developed using Ethereum technology, andEthereumis often praised as being easier to use.
LISK uses a consensus algorithm called DPoS (Delegated Proof Stake).
DPoS differs from PoS (Proof of Stake), which selects validators based on the amount of cryptocurrency owned, by selecting validators via voting among people who hold LSK (Risk). By adopting DPoS, it helps prevent a concentration of validators among a few wealthy holders.
Characteristics of cryptocurrency risk (LISK)
LISK has some similarities to Ethereum, but there are differences that we will introduce.
And there are two main features of LISK.
Adopts sidechain technology
Uses JavaScript as the development language
Now, let’s look at these two points one by one.
Adopts sidechain technology
Sidechain technology is LISK’s proprietary system, which operates as a separate backup blockchain alongside the mainblockchainof LISK.
By using sidechain technology, overall processing capacity can be dramatically increased.
Also, with sidechain technology, if a problem occurs on the main blockchain, you can switch to the sidechains to continue operations without hindering business, while resolving issues.
In other words, LISK’s blockchain can always operate at full capacity.
Uses JavaScript as development language
The development language used by LISK is JavaScript, familiar in the web industry.
Generally, Ethereum development uses Solidity, but Solidity is still young, with insufficient development environments and documentation available at present.
and Solidity has many bugs as well.
However, JavaScript used by LISK is already familiar to many engineers, so there is no need to learn a new development language, enabling development to proceed.
In other words, with development environments well established, more engineers can participate in development,and this increases development speed and quality.
What exactly is the halving period of cryptocurrency risk (LISK)?
A halving period is when the issuing amount of cryptocurrency is halved.
The purpose of halving is to prevent inflation caused by issuing a large amount of currency.
And by halving, the scarcity and value of LSK are increased.
However, LSK halving does not mean the number of coins suddenly halves.
In LISK, halving is a mechanism where the supply decreases by 1 LSK each time, not the entire currency by half.
Put differently, when 3,000,000 LSK blocks have been created, the new issuance decreases by 1 unit.
LSK’s halving cycle is once a year, every November.
Bitcoin’s halving cycle is every four years, so you can see how relatively fast LSK halving is.
Inflation refers to the phenomenon of currency expanding relative to the society’s demand for money.
Also known as: prices soaring, called inflation.
The true story of why cryptocurrency risk (LISK) was hard-forked
On August 29, 2018, LSK underwent ahard forkand it was successfully completed.
