Hi Rise Team,
Your first post says this...
Will Rise be Different From Lisk?
We picked LISK as a starting point due to how it was designed to run Smart Contract, Dapps, and had an easy to use, nearly ubiquitous programming language as it's base, to have the widest possible audience to start with.
...but Max from Lisk says this...
Differences:
- While Ethereum is a smart contract platform, Lisk is a dapp platform. That means at Ethereum you can only develop single smart contracts which costs real ETH for every step, and you need to combine several contracts to form one dapp.
Disadvantages:
- At Lisk you can't develop smart contracts which are always being performed by all miners on the network.
Please elaborate and explain more clearly how/if Rise will run Smart Contracts. Thank you.
I want to apologize for the confusion. The OP was mistaken with commenting about Lisk being capable about smart contract's. Alty's suggestion that when that comment was written, Smart contracts were being discussed heavily between myself and my development partner, as it was on my mind it made it into that comment about Lisk.
Max, of course, is correct, that Lisk cannot do smart contracts, but that is by their choice. I like the concept of Smart Contracts, as a separate function from DApps, which would provide the same functionality. As such, we will be building Smart Contracts into the system. We are still working on an overall roadmap to prioritize development, so we will see where Smart Contracts land in the process, but it is something I want to build into Rise prior to launch.
