Watch this team in 2026.

The future of funding is decentralized, distributed, and global. There’s an untapped opportunity in serving the first billion users in markets that leapfrog legacy financial systems with a new internet-native alternative. That's why we started the $15M Lisk EMpower fund.

Less than four months left! If you held LSK at the time of our migration to Ethereum in 2024, you’re still eligible to claim ERC-20 LSK tokens. The claim window closes on May 21st, 2026.

Africa’s cross-border payments are set to become a $1T+ market. And yet, moving money is still too expensive, too slow. The opportunity is great, but the underlying infrastructure needs an upgrade 🧵 (1/8)

New year, new handle.

🇰🇪Our team went to Kenya to do what we know matters most: get close to founders, listen first, understand their needs, and stay grounded in what building looks like when it’s tied to real life. We invited @SemudaraAbayomi to document it through his lens, to see what Lisk is about up close and to tell the story of the people building with us. 📹 This vlog is the result, and it captures it perfectly.

Max Kordek returns as full-time CEO and goes all in on Lisk. Today, we’re strengthening Lisk with a bigger team, increased funding, and full support behind our mission. @maxkordek is returning as CEO to lead this next chapter. Full announcement 👉 lisk.com/blog/posts/max…

Lisk x United Nations 🇺🇳 We’re excited to announce we’ve joined ScaleX, the @UN's new deep-tech accelerator led by @UNIDO, as its first partner. Together, we are launching the Lisk x ScaleX Web3 Incubator for founders in emerging markets to run real pilots with governments and industry 🧵

Behind closed doors, big things have been happening at Lisk. Today, we can finally start talking about one of them. 🚀 🌍💡 Last week in Riyadh 🇸🇦, our Head of Investments, @gideongreaves, attended the United Nations convention where the @UN officially launched ScaleX; a global accelerator helping startups run real pilots with governments and enterprises. 🏛️📈 ScaleX is led by @UNIDO, which is the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. A UN body responsible for advancing industrial growth and economic development worldwide. And here’s the part that matters: 👉 Lisk was announced as the first organization partnering with UNIDO on ScaleX. Together, we are creating the Lisk x ScaleX Web3 Incubator. A UN-supported initiative focused on applying decentralized technologies to industrial and supply-chain challenges in Emerging Markets. 🌐🤝 This partnership positions Lisk at the center of a global initiative connecting tech, industry, and sustainable development and aligns directly with our Mission in Emerging Markets. Governments, VCs, and ecosystem leaders were present, including representatives from Barbados 🇧🇧, Georgia 🇬🇪, and Slovenia 🇸🇮, many of whom expressed interest in future collaboration. A major milestone for Lisk and the beginning of a powerful new chapter for Web3 adoption. 💥

Builders in Southeast Asia need more than funding to grow. They need real support, the right people to talk to, and an ecosystem that actually shows up. That is why we are launching Lisk SEA Startup Support: ✨ Technical guidance 🤝 Product and strategy support ✅ Go-to-market or co-marketing support 💰 Funding opportunities up to 250,000 USD from the EMpower Fund 🫂 Direct feedback from the Lisk SEA team 🗣️ A 1 to 1 deep dive session No matter what stage you’re at, our aim is simple: Help you build something real and help you grow as a builder inside the Lisk ecosystem.

POV : web3 builder real situation - Endless chain research - ⁠Rising gas fees - ⁠Zero support Then they discover the Lisk EMpower Fund and everything changes. Watch what happens next … 😏 @LiskHQ

Lisk is built on the OP Stack and inherits Ethereum’s security while being fully EVM-compatible. That means your Solidity contracts, familiar tools, and existing workflows work on Lisk without any extra steps.

Less than 5% of global VC reaches Africa and LatAm. SEA is moving fast, but builders still lack real support. The Lisk EMpower Fund mission is simple: close the capital gap and help proven products scale globally. 🔗 lisk.com/fund @LiskHQ

In Buenos Aires for @EFDevcon, the @LiskHQ fam gathered from 18+ different countries. And the moment they landed, the shift was obvious. In Argentina, crypto is already becoming the economy. Stablecoins & on-chain payments are everyday tools. See how real adoption looks like👇
