COO Dominic Schwenter sa Paglalakbay ng Lisk sa Layer-2 at Focus sa Emerging Markets

Nakipag-usap ang BeInCrypto kay Dominic Schwenter, COO ng Lisk, para talakayin ang mga latest na developments sa pag-launch ng mainnet ng Lisk at ang nagbabagong role ng project sa blockchain ecosystem.

With a rare legacy sa Web3 na umaabot ng mahigit 8 years, strategically nag-shift ang Lisk mula sa Layer-1 (L1) papunta sa Layer-2 (L2) approach, aiming na manguna sa pag-tackle ng scalability challenges at gawing accessible ang blockchain technology, with a strong focus sa emerging markets.

Sa Loob ng Paglalakbay ng Lisk Patungo sa L2 at ang Collaborative Scaling ng Ethereum

Since itong itinatag noong 2016, nakita ng Lisk ang significant growth sa Web3 space at maraming natutunan along the way. Binabalikan ni Schwenter ang early days during the interview with BeInCrypto.

“Nung itinatag ang Lisk, mas bago pa lang ang space kumpara ngayon. Kakalaunch lang ng Ethereum, at bago pa lang ang concept ng smart contracts. Ang founding principle ng Lisk ay gawing accessible ang blockchain technology sa mga JavaScript developers worldwide. Nasa radar na rin namin ang scaling,” sabi niya.

Ang pioneering approach ng Lisk ay involved sa pag-build ng first JavaScript-based L1 blockchain from scratch. This infrastructure, combined with a focus on app-specific sidechains, set the stage for Lisk’s emphasis on accessibility at community-driven development.

“Isa sa mga bagay na nagpapa-unique sa Lisk ay ang aming long-term approach. Palagi kaming aware na matatagalan ang adoption ng blockchain, baka nga umabot pa ng isang dekada. This vision shaped our team structure, fund management, at overall strategy,” paliwanag ni Schwenter.

In 2024, boldly nag-transition ang Lisk mula L1 to L2, joining forces with Optimism (OP) at iba pang leading blockchain projects. Kasama na ngayon ang Lisk sa OP Superchain, a collective of interoperable L2 solutions designed to scale Ethereum habang pinapanatili ang security benefits nito.

“Lisk is now 100% focused on our Layer-2, which is EVM-compatible on the OP stack as part of the OP Superchain,” described ni Schwenter.

For him, ang Superchain offers a unique advantage by promoting interoperability at collaboration rather than competition among blockchains. Big names like Uniswap’s Unichain, Sony’s Soneium, at Kraken’s Ink have also joined the Superchain, signaling its potential as a powerful, interconnected framework. Being part of this “interop set” allows Lisk to work with these networks, na committed sa enhancing blockchain interoperability.

Additionally, naniniwala siya na crucial ang cooperative approach na ito for the mass adoption of Web3, as it tackles the industry’s fragmented nature.

“It creates the consumer layer on Ethereum, enabling teams to focus on building rather than competing in the infrastructure space,” explains ni Schwenter.

On the other hand, nakikita ni Schwenter na ang integration ng Lisk sa Superchain provides access to Ethereum’s liquidity at leverages Ethereum’s decentralized security. Binibigyang-diin ni Schwenter ang potential impact ng L2 sa pag-unlock ng full potential ng Ethereum by allowing scalable applications to be built without the prohibitive costs of L1 fees.

Mula sa Stablecoins hanggang sa Agrikultura: Ang Aktibong Diskarte ng Lisk sa Mga Market na Mabilis ang Paglago

Ang commitment ng Lisk sa emerging markets, particularly sa regions like Africa at Southeast Asia, ay central sa mission nila. According to data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), ang emerging economies ngayon ay nagco-contribute ng approximately 40-45% ng global GDP. With population growth rates reaching 1.5-2% annually, these developing areas are prime for blockchain adoption.

Recognizing the demand for blockchain solutions na address ang practical needs, nakipartner ang Lisk sa local builders, governments, at organizations to support this expansion by providing scalable, cost-effective technology na align sa economic at developmental needs.

“Emerging markets are leading the way in applying blockchain to real-world challenges, addressing genuine, pressing needs. Ang mga solutions na dine-develop doon may power to transform everyday life at may significant business potential. Doon kami nagfo-focus ng efforts: where we believe too few others are looking,” remarked ni Schwenter.

For Lisk, this focus includes areas like stablecoins at real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Binigyang-diin ni Schwenter ang importance ng RWA, noting na popular ang stablecoins, particularly those that bear yields, sa emerging markets as they provide access to credit for small businesses at similar needs.

Ang approach ng Lisk is to support practical use cases na address real problems, like bringing data on-chain or solving agricultural challenges for small farmers. Nag-share din si Schwenter ng insights kung paano nag-establish ang Lisk ng locally based community sa mga regions na ito to build trust.

“We’re focused on building trust at personal connections sa emerging markets. Many blockchain projects come and go, but we’re committed to developing a sustainable community at ecosystem doon,” he explained.

Ano ang Susunod para sa Lisk sa 2025?

With the recent mainnet launch, nag-set ng ambitious goals ang Lisk for the upcoming year. Ang mainnet will kick off with an airdrop campaign, offering a gamified experience for users to earn points at rewards.

“We’re rolling out several seasons of airdrops over the coming months, including a mix of point-based systems at raffle sprints with exclusive incentives for specific applications within the Lisk network,” shared ni Schwenter with BeInCrypto.

Looking forward to 2025, plano ng Lisk na maging isa sa first OP stack L2s to implement fault proofs, further decentralizing its infrastructure. Binibigyang-diin ni Schwenter ang significance ng mga developments na ito.

“We believe that this interoperability at focus on emerging markets position us uniquely in the Web3 landscape. We’re excited for the paradigm shift this will bring in terms of how chains at applications are built at adopted,” he concluded.
