In a step towards enhancing blockchain accessibility and adoption, Obligate is gearing up for its upcoming deployment on the Lisk network, a Layer 2 solution and member of the Optimism Superchain.
As part of the collaboration, Lisk and Obligate aim “to address challenges in emerging markets by enhancing access to decentralized financial services.”
Obligate will utilize Lisk L2’s network, reportedly “known for its high efficiency, speed, and scalability secured by Ethereum within the Optimism Superchain.”
This initiative aims to empower businesses in emerging markets “by offering more accessible capital solutions through blockchain technology, circumventing the typical issues and high interest costs often encountered with traditional banking intermediaries.”
“Lisk has consistently led the way in making blockchain technology accessible, “focusing specifically on solving real-world problems in emerging markets.”
Dominic Schwenter, CPO of Lisk, said:
“Integrating Obligate’s platform with Lisk not only promotes financial inclusion but also pioneers advanced solutions for real-world assets (RWA) and off-chain assets (OCA). This deployment is a crucial step towards our goal of introducing the next billion people to the Web3 ecosystem.”
Benedikt Schuppli, co-founder and CBDO of Obligate, said:
“Lisk L2’s design to support real-world applications and assets aligns perfectly with Obligate’s mission to offer secure and regulated blockchain solutions. Our partnership will provide robust, efficient, and transparent financial options to the regions most in need, and we are eager to witness the positive impacts of our joint efforts.”
The deployment of Obligate on Lisk L2 is “particularly significant for its potential effects on real-world assets. By facilitating more straightforward and efficient capital access, Lisk L2 and Obligate will assist businesses in leveraging their physical assets for funding, thereby fostering economic growth and stability.”
This collaboration also capitalizes “on Lisk L2’s technological strengths, including enhanced scalability and user experience, which are essential for adopting blockchain solutions in markets with varying degrees of technological infrastructure.”
Lisk claims that it “provides a cost-efficient, fast, and scalable Layer 2 (L2) network that is secured by Ethereum.”
As a Web3 infrastructure project, Lisk further claims that it “has been democratizing blockchain accessibility for developers and end users globally since 2016. Its core focus is to solve local problems in Emerging Markets by bringing solutions around real-world assets (RWA), off-chain assets (OCA), and DePIN onchain. As a member of the Optimism Superchain Lisk is contributing to onboarding the next 1 billion people to Web3.”
