## What it is
The Lisk SDK is a TypeScript framework for building blockchain applications and sidechains on the Lisk ecosystem. It provides modules for consensus, transactions, tokens, and node operation so developers can create application-specific blockchains in JavaScript/TypeScript.

## Use cases
- build a custom blockchain application in TypeScript
- launch an application-specific sidechain
- create custom tokens and transaction types
- run and operate a blockchain node
- develop dApps with a JavaScript blockchain SDK

## When to choose
- you want to build a blockchain app in TypeScript/JavaScript
- you are maintaining or studying an existing Lisk-based sidechain
- you need a modular blockchain framework with ready-made modules

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained SDK - the repository has been archived
- you want general-purpose smart contract development on EVM chains
- your project is not related to the Lisk ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
