Hello and welcome to Lisk - a platform for decentralized applications & sidechains written in JavaScript! Developers can build, publish, distribute and monetize their applications within our custom built crypto-currency powered system.
We are happy that you took an interest into our platform and hope that we can convince you that we are the next logical step within the blockchain environment. Our ICO will start on the 22nd February, but you can already play around with our testnet client and even get some testnet LISK to play around with. It would be awesome if you join us on our Lisk.Chat and get in contact with us. We would like to hear your opinion about Lisk.

Initial Coin Offering (ICO)All information about our ICO are available on our blog and website! Please read the following blog post and our FAQ.ICO SummaryWhen does the ICO takes place?The ICO takes place on the 22nd February and will end on the 21st March.Which crypto-currencies can be exchanged?In our ICO we accept Bitcoin (BTC) and any other altcoin supported by ShapeShift, e.g. Ether, Monero, Nxt, Dash or Litecoin. These crypto-currencies are eligible for all bonuses and rewards.
Additionally, we accept Crypti (XCR) for a fixed conversion rate of 0,00001300 BTC per XCR. Crypti is not eligible for any bonus or reward, and will always be accepted at the given conversion rate during the ICO.
Our Lisk community member MalReynolds also released great charts in which you can see the daily ICO donations, how many LISK you get for every Bitcoin exchanged, how many LISK you get for every Crypti exchanged, and the current satoshi price of one LISK.How is the distribution?
1,000,000 LISK for early supporters (Bounty Campaign).
2,000,000 LISK for advisors, partners, and 3rd parties.
4,000,000 LISK for campaigns and bounties (after ICO).
8,000,000 LISK for the Lisk core team.
85,000,000 LISK for ICO participants.All Money is held in EscrowThe ICO takes place on the 22nd February and will end on the 21st March.All BTC will directly go into a 2-of-3 multi-signature Coinbase vault. That means the money can only be withdrawn if two of the three signees agree.Therefore we have partnered up with two trusted and reputable individuals who will get one key to the multi-signature vault each.

Paul Klanschek alias TwinWinNerD, CEO of CoinimalPlease be aware that both are independent escrow partners, Coinimal as a company is not involved in this partnership.Where can I participate?You will be able to participate on our custom-built website (will be activated once the ICO begins). Today we will also release a guide on how to participate.What bonuses can I receive?There will be 4 stages in which people can earn different bonuses for their exchanged BTC and ShapeShift accepted altcoins. (Not valid for exchanged XCR!)
First week: 15% bonus
Second week: 10% bonus
Third week: 5% bonus
Fourth week: 0% bonusSpecial reward for day 1 participantsIn order to provide a higher incentive to participate in the ICO from day one, we will be taking 200,000 LISK out of our own funds, and distributing them to all day one ICO participants according to their exchanged amounts. The extra reward will be given to users who donate BTC or an altcoin accepted by ShapeShift within the first day of the ICO launch.For more detailed information, please head to the Lisk ICO Terms on our blog!
