Let's start from the beginning.
Before Lisk there was/is Crypti. Crypti stayed at a marketcap of 500k and even lower for years, because nobody gave a shit about it. All of a sudden two guys from Crypti announced that they will stop developing for it and, unhappy with the way it was advancing, forked out Crypti and renamed their project to Lisk.

I'm only an advisor at Lisk and do not work there, but I wish the team good luck.
I'm focusing on my own blockchain 2.0 project, which we will announce soon

Boris seems to be working on another project, but I am not entirely sure about it. If there's an ICO for that, I will definitely show my support
