Who We Are

Lisk is a Layer 2 blockchain dedicated to bringing Web3 adoption in high-growth markets back to Ethereum. By leveraging cost-efficient, scalable, and innovative Layer 2 technology, Lisk enables real-world applications in high-growth markets (particularly in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America) to operate efficiently on Ethereum for the first time. Lisk's founder-focused approach provides a comprehensive ecosystem of startup programs, tooling, seed liquidity, and knowledge bases to support local founders from inception to success.

Why We Are Here

As an original member of the Optimism Superchain, Lisk plays a pivotal role in building the industry’s first truly interoperable supernetwork, and we are committed to actively participating in shaping the future of Optimism through governance decisions that drive:

• Scalability and interoperability: supporting cross-chain composability and seamless coordination across Superchain networks.
• Financial inclusion and adoption: expanding DeFi and real-world use cases to ensure Web3 reaches those who need it most.
• Developer empowerment: advocating for open-source development, better tooling, and funding to accelerate ecosystem growth.
• Sustainable economic models: aligning incentives for long-term success across builders, users, and governance participants.

The Optimistic Vision is more than technology - it’s an opportunity to reshape finance, empower communities, and onboard millions of new users into Web3.

Governance Approach

Lisk will take an active leadership role in shaping the Superchain’s future:

• Proactive decision-making: not just voting, but shaping governance proposals to align with the ecosystem’s long-term vision.
• Collaboration and transparency: engaging openly with the Superchain community and maintaining clear governance communication.
• Real-world impact: prioritising initiatives that can drive meaningful adoption, particularly in high-growth markets.

The Lisk Delegate

The governance team for the Lisk delegate consists of:

• Jan (Chief Research Officer)
• Mona (Governance Lead)
• Seny (DeFi Ecosystem Growth)

Together, their deep understanding of blockchain technology, governance practices, and ecosystem growth ensures that Lisk’s participation in Optimism governance is strategic, well-informed, and aligned with the long-term success of the Superchain and its community.

Our Vision for the Future

The Optimism Superchain is redefining blockchain scalability, interoperability, and governance. Lisk is proud to be a key player in this transformation. Through strategic governance, real-world adoption in high-growth markets, and deep developer support, we are committed to ensuring the Superchain reaches its full potential.

We look forward to collaborating with the Optimism community to make Ethereum more accessible, scalable, and inclusive.

Let’s build the future together!
