Crypto Asset Liquidation in June

Total Expenditures for the Month of June

In the expenditures section of the Financial Update, you can see how much the Foundation has spent on various aspects of Lisk’s growth. For your convenience, we have divided this section into four areas:

Development

By far the biggest area of expenditure by the Lisk Foundation, this encompasses everything spent on the research, development, and design of Lisk Core, SDK, Desktop, Mobile, and Explorer.

Marketing

This key area of growth for Lisk includes not only traditional marketing like public relations, or performance, but extends to everything spent on business development, event management, creative design, and developer relations.

Bounties & Sponsorships

The stronger the Lisk community, the stronger our blockchain is going to be. Under this area of expenditure we outline all money spent on bug bounties, supporting proof of concept blockchain applications built with the Lisk SDK, or joint efforts with community members like the Lisk Center in Utrecht.

Operations

Here, we mention all expenses needed in the day-to-day running of the Lisk Foundation, such as salaries, office costs, or administrative contractors dealing with accounting or legal compliance.
