Max Kordek: The Lisk project is non-profit with a registered Foundation in Switzerland and diverse board members out of business, technology, and legal sectors. Our interview follows.ĮKMH: What led Lisk to joining Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA)? I caught up with the globally recognized crypto entrepreneur via email to gain more insight about his views on COPA, blockchain innovation, goals and core values, and what sets Lisk apart from its competitors. In addition to his roles as Co-Founder and Lisk President, Kordek also cofounded Lightcurve, a Blockchain product development studio and consultancy firm with a special focus on coding, marketing and support, and serves as its director. In combining their cryptocurrency-related patents, COPA members are creating a patent library designed to directly combat offensive use of patents which stifle innovation and industry growth. Launched in September 2020 by the global financial services company Square, Inc., the COPA consortium requires members to make their patents freely available for all to use- except in extenuating circumstances. This past March Lisk joined the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance(COPA) as its first blockchain developer-focused member to help bolster innovation within the blockchain community through the promotion of open patent collaboration. Headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, the Lisk network is operated using a highly efficient Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm, secured by democratically elected delegates, maintains a significantly lower energy consumption than Proof of Work networks such as Bitcoin. An industry leader in blockchain interoperability, Lisk allows for side chain deployment onto the Lisk blockchain, thereby enabling blockchain application scalability while still connecting to the wider Lisk ecosystem.
