Lisk Launches Mainnet and Airdrop Campaign with 15M LSK Tokens Available to Earn

Lisk

Lisk, a leading Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain dedicated to empowering web3 builders in high-growth markets, is pleased to announce the launch of the Lisk Mainnet and the introduction of its Airdrop campaign, beginning on November 21st. This will be followed by an App Bounty Quest campaign launching by the end of the year. The first season of the airdrop will run for four months, incentivizing new users and builders to engage with Lisk’s blockchain ecosystem. In alignment with this effort, Lisk is implementing a comprehensive plan reflecting its past year's progress through strategic partnerships and various programs. This launch represents a new phase for Lisk, and the results will be closely monitored. A 2023 report by analyst firm Chainalysis reveals that high-growth markets, which dominate its Crypto Adoption Index, are driving web3 adoption and highlight a key trend in global finance. Lisk's focus on high-growth markets is strategic, considering these regions' notable growth and adoption rates, positioning Lisk firmly for the future. Key Highlights of the Airdrop Campaign: User Engagement through Task Completion: Participants can earn points by completing tasks on the Lisk platform. The more tasks completed, the more points earned, leading to more LSK tokens airdropped based on total points accumulated. Partnership-Driven “Super Tasks”: In collaboration with partners, including Oku.Trade, Ionic, Creo Engine, Angle Protocol, Soccersm, and Momint, Lisk will offer special tasks open for two weeks, providing boosted rewards designed to incentivize user engagement. Each partner will have a dedicated two-week period for users to complete the super tasks and earn immediate rewards. These super tasks will include educational and engagement-focused challenges announced throughout the campaign, encouraging users to actively participate and deepen their knowledge of the platform. App Bounty Quests: Launching by the end of the year, the App Bounty Quests will reward applications that meet specific milestones set by the Lisk team, such as achieving a certain volume or number of active users monthly. Successful participants will receive a sizable LSK token bounty via airdrop. “We designed this airdrop campaign to be seamless, engaging, educational, and even fun, reflecting our mission to create web3 applications that are easy to use and beneficial,” said Dominic Schwenter, COO of Lisk. “The promise of mass adoption rests in the vision and dedication of builders in high-growth markets who are solving everyday problems for their communities and businesses via blockchain technology. I hope participants find a deep connection to our mission as we pave the way together. This launch marks a new era for Lisk, and we can’t wait to see the results of what we are creating." Lisk is one of the few historical projects that continues to thrive and was the first Layer 1 to evolve into a Layer 2. In December 2023, Lisk announced its migration to an Ethereum Layer 2 solution and became one of the earliest members of the OP Superchain alongside Optimism and Base, and followed more recently by significant projects like WorldChain (by WorldCoin), Soneium (by Sony), Unichain (by Uniswap), Ink (by Kraken), to name a few. This announcement comes on the heels of significant progress for Lisk. The network is poised for substantial growth and user engagement, with partnerships forged with major players such as: Circle: Launched the Circle Bridged USDC Standard, offering Lisk projects seamless access to USDC. This enhances both developer and user experiences, while reducing liquidity fragmentation across EVM blockchains and rollups. Rarible: Lisk NFTs are now available for live trading, with the initial mint launched at Coinfest Asia in September. The launch featured an exclusive airdrop from Indonesian artist Yahya Rifandaru. LayerZero: Enables seamless token transfers and omnichain application development across supported chains, enhancing interoperability within the Lisk ecosystem. Rainbow Wallet: Native integration of the Lisk network into the Rainbow Wallet app and browser extension allows automatic token balance detection, NFT indexing, DeFi position tracking, in-app swaps, and cross-chain asset bridging. Fireblocks: Lisk will be supported by Fireblocks for secure asset storage and transfer, ensuring institutional-grade security for token management and enterprise solutions. Velodrome: The leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Optimism’s mainnet, Velodrome, is launching on Lisk from day one, aiming to enhance liquidity and leverage the existing Superchain ecosystem. In addition to the above, Lisk has partnered with Angel Hack, Aya Labs, CV Labs, Key Difference Labs, and others to establish accelerator programs to support developers building real-world solutions in high-growth markets. In September, the Optimism Foundation accepted Lisk’s grant proposal for 500,000 OP tokens to grow USD and non-USD-backed stablecoins on Lisk and the Superchain. The overall airdrop campaign boasts a budget of up to 15 million LSK tokens. For more information and to participate in the airdrop campaign, visit Lisk’s official channels on X, Discord & LinkedIn and join our growing network of builders.

TRON DAO Unveils TRON-Peg USD Coin: A New Gateway to Borderless Transactions

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, November 7, 2024 - TRON DAO has officially launched the TRON-Peg USD Coin on the TRON blockchain, an innovative cross-chain solution designed to streamline borderless transactions and broaden TRON’s stablecoin ecosystem. By facilitating seamless and efficient cross-chain transfers, TRON-Peg USD Coin expands the possibilities for users to leverage USDC across the TRON ecosystem. Efficient Cross-Chain Functionality TRON-Peg USD Coin enables seamless USDC transfers between Ethereum and TRON, serving as an essential stablecoin bridge. Qualified users can easily acquire TRON-Peg USD Coin through a streamlined cross-chain process: when USDC-ERC20 is deposited into Ethereum’s bridge contract, the system detects the transaction, mints an equivalent amount of TRON-Peg USD Coin on TRON, and transfers it directly to the user’s TRON address. Similarly, general users wishing to move TRON-Peg USD Coin back to Ethereum can initiate the process through the designated token contract on TRON. Cross-chain transactions between TRON and Ethereum can also be conducted through supported exchanges. Transparent and Secure with Free Cross-Chain Services TRON-Peg USD Coin offers users free cross-chain transaction services. Additionally, its reserve assets are fully transparent in real-time, ensuring that reserves consistently exceed the total supply. This guarantees that users can always redeem their USDC on Ethereum at a 1:1 ratio. Users can verify reserve assets in real-time. Security remains a top priority, with TRON-Peg USD Coin rigorously audited by ChainSecurity, a leading blockchain security company led by security experts from ETH Zurich. The comprehensive 24-page audit reinforces TRON’s commitment to user security and contract integrity. Ioannis Sachinoglou, lead engineer at ChainSecurity, stated: “This Tron-Peg USD Coin bridge audit allowed us to explore TRON’s cross-chain infrastructure in depth. We analyzed the bridge’s mechanisms, as well as the interactions between the TRON and the Ethereum networks. Collaborating closely with the TRON team, we worked to identify and address potential vulnerabilities, ultimately reinforcing the bridge’s robustness and enhancing user trust. We're looking forward to further collaborating with TRON and supporting the security of their ecosystem.” Shaping the Future of Stablecoin Technology With TRON's position as a major player in the stablecoin market, representing over one-third of the entire stablecoin supply, TRON DAO is committed to continuously refining TRON-Peg USD Coin with enhanced security and user-focused value. These enhancements aim to position TRON-Peg USD Coin as a trusted choice for secure, seamless transactions, empowering users worldwide.

Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
