I heard about NIMQ partnership with WEG BANK: https://www.coindesk.com/a-small-bank-in-germany-is-now-nearly-30-owned-by-crypto-companies
I see LISK is involved too,
I would like to ask if there is any direct cooperation between LISK and NIMQ or there are just separate partnerships?..

Regarding the relationship between Nimiq, LISK and WEG Bank:

- Nimiq owns stake in WEG bank. Lisk created an enterprise account in the same bank
- Nimiq and Lisk are both based in JavaScript (although a new high performance implementation of Nimiq in Rust is also being tested right now)
- Lisk focuses on Smart Contracts for Companies, allowing them to spin up their own Blockchain. Nimiq focuses only on payments
- Team Nimiq is a personal acquaintance of Lisk's Latin American Manager, that's the reason of this blog post.

In summary: there are indeed some similarities and synergies between Nimiq and Lisk. Right now there is no specific cooperation announced other than brainstorming possible ways to collaborate.
