In 2016 at the time of the Lisk ICO the Lisk blockchain started with 100,000,000 LSK at a market value of $5,800,000. Approximately 6 years later, in February 2022, there are around 140,000,000 LSK available at a market value of $240,000,000. This represents an over 40x return, given the LSK token price now.

At launch, only 8% of the initial LSK token supply went to the Lisk co-founders, which is at the lower end of today’s standards.

Today, the annual inflation rate of the LSK token is only about 2% which is one of the industry’s lowest rates.

Lisk was founded by Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows.

Max Kordek is the CEO of Lisk and a globally recognized crypto entrepreneur. At just 24 years old, Max co-founded Lisk and raised over 14,000 BTC during its ICO in 2016 and within the same year co-founded Lightcurve, a leading blockchain studio based in Berlin. Since then, Max has become increasingly involved in the global crypto community, speaking at many of the top blockchain conferences in the world. Today, he is working relentlessly to help the industry gain traction.

Oliver Beddows is the CTO of Lisk and a veteran crypto developer since 2014. Together with Max, he co-founded Lisk and developed it to be a go-to platform for JavaScript developers and also co-founded Lightcurve, a leading blockchain studio in Berlin. Since then, Oliver is introducing revolutionary blockchain innovations and is deeply committed to make the world a better place with the technologies he builds.
