Blockchain Based Donations - Be a Donor, Support Others

Lisk Sidechain

bdonor runs on a Lisk Sidechain. The bdonor-sidechain is basically a regular blockchain attached to the Lisk Mainchain. This has the following advantages:

  • It is independent from all other sidechains and regular blockchains. It has no scalability issues because no other application can “steal” its performance and space on this sidechain.
  • Is is secured not only by the bdonor delegates, but also by the Lisk Mainchain and by their proven and very reliable mainchain delegates.
  • It can use the whole Lisk ecosystem, including the Decentralized Exchange to trade tokens and other functionality provided by additional Lisk Sidechains.

Lisk SDK

The bdonor-sidechain has been created with the Lisk Alpha SDK. This software development kit makes the development of your own sidechain very easy and straight forward. The Lisk SDK is still in a early stadium. Its progress and roadmap can be seen on the Lisk SDK Website.

Javascript

Lisk and its sidechains are based on Javascript including node.js, one of the most popular programming languages used for web development.

For the frontend of bdonor we use vue.js and vuetify, but this can change with the progress of the project. Mobile devices will be supported with a PWA (Progressive Web Application).

DPoS

bdonor currently uses the same DPoS consensus algorithm as the Lisk Mainchain. This means that the bdonor-sidechain is processed and secured by the independent 101 highest voted delegates of this sidechain.
