Lisk, despite not reaching its peak in 2017, continues to attract attention, as per a recent report from CoinGecko on January 2nd.
Even though Lisk was once among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, it has seen a decline in popularity over the past six years. However, with the blockchain industry evolving in 2023, Lisk now holds the 244th spot in CoinMarketCap rankings. This shift has been accompanied by an 83% decrease in market capitalization, dropping from $919 million to $152 million.
The recent resurgence of interest in Lisk is attributed to an announcement of an expansion strategy involving Gelato, a platform that supports Lisk, integrating into the Ethereum ecosystem by transitioning to an Ethereum Layer-2. This move places Lisk alongside OP Mainnet, Base, and other OP Chains, marking it as the first Layer-1 to embrace Optimism’s superchain vision.
Lisk is actively working towards onboarding 100 million users to the world of crypto and web3 by providing a user-friendly blockchain application platform and a leading JavaScript SDK. Launched in 2019, the Lisk SDK enables developers to create application-specific blockchains using JavaScript, the most widely used programming language in the world.
Currently, Lisk is priced at $2.05, showing a 51.1% increase in the last 24 hours and a 24.4% increase in the last month.
For more information, Lisk has also launched an accelerator program for web3 startups and developers. Follow Us on Google News for the latest updates.
