New L2 and new landing gear. On Ethereumsolution of the second layer of the type rollup multiply for several months. No wonder most of them do point campaigns in anticipation of their landing. A strategy that is now being adopted by long-term projects. This is the case of the project Lisk which just launched its layer 2 on Ethereum.
- Lisk has launched its Layer 2 on Ethereum, which marks a strategic shift towards Real-World and DePin assets.
- As of November 21st, an airdrop of 15 million LSK tokens was announced as a reward for dedicated users.
Lisk launches its layer-2
Launched in 2016 as a layer 1 blockchain, Lisk subsequently decided to perform a transition to become layer 2 of Ethereumin December 2023.
In the end, we had to wait until February 2024 for the first one Lisk layer-2 test network be deployed on Ethereum. Under the hood, Lisk uses a technology stackOPStacklike OP Mainnet (formerly Optimism) and Base.
This transition also represents a pivotal point in Lisk’s business. In fact, Lisk, through its new layer-2, specializes in Real-World Assets (RWA) and DePin (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks).
“With a focus on Real Assets and Applications (RWA) as well as Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), we will drive economic and social growth while staying true to Lisk’s original mission of democratizing accessibility. on blockchain technology. »
Lisk announces his landing
Almost 10 months after the launch of the testnet The Lisk L2 mainnet was finally deployed.
Along with the mainnet announcement, Lisk as well revealed its desire to reward users via airdrop. A total of 15 million LSK tokens will be distributed through this airdrop, or just over $14 million at the current price.
According to the information shared on the official website, this drop will be distributed after a points campaign that measures the engagement of each user.
In practice, the 1st season of the Lisk landing party will begin on November 21 for a period of 4 months. Once it is not usual, you will have to perform different actions on L2 Lisk and its different Dapps to collect more points.
“We designed this campaign to be transparent, engaging, educational and even fun, reflecting our mission to create easy-to-use and rewarding web3 apps. »
Another points campaign for an airdrop that probably won’t be up to par. Looking at historical data, The airdrops didn’t seem to help L2 growth. Indeed, we have seen a significant drop in activity following the distribution of airdrops. This demonstrates a tendency towards parachute breeding more than a real belief in a technological solution.
