Following the Lisk blockchain upgrade to the Optimism Superchain
this week, Dutch startup Klayr Labs announced it would be taking
over the Layer 1 technology and starting a new blockchain in June
named “Klayr.” Moving forward, Klayr Labs will run operations and
maintenance and ecosystem development for the Layer 1 platform.
The Klayr Labs team is based in the Netherlands and is rapidly
scaling its team to bring even more developers to the highly
customisable and easy-to-use Layer 1 blockchain. With a
well-documented SDK and years of established performance, their aim
is to provide digital ownership to a million people through the
Klayr toolkit by 2030, thereby expanding the healthy ecosystem of
web3 users.
Late last year, the Layer 1 blockchain Lisk announced that they
intended to join the Optimism Superchain. The leadership at the
Onchain Foundation, keen to maintain the years of development
invested in Lisk and to support the developer ecosystem seeking to
remain on Lisk’s Layer 1, identified a leadership team from within
the community that could bring the technology and the spirit of the
Layer 1 forward. They found this in the team of Colecti, who
developed the Lisk blockchain’s first digital asset and NFT
marketplace. Active within the web3 and blockchain sector since
2017, the four founders (Lukas Bronsvoort, Jurre Machielsen,
Raphaël Cornelis and Sander Mandemaker) are veteran tech
entrepreneurs with vast experience developing blockchain
applications and companies. Aside from their work with Colecti,
they founded the largest blockchain-focused coworking space in the
Netherlands, the Lisk Center Utrecht, and the Lisk blockchain
explorer Liskscan.
Together, the Colecti founders established a partnership with
the Onchain Foundation to provide technical support and funding to
Klayr Labs for at least two years, thereby ensuring the continued
existence of the Layer 1 technology and support for its developers
and dApp creators.
“We have been developing in this ecosystem for many years, so we
are familiar with what makes this blockchain one of the best Layer
1s for transaction speed, flexibility, and security: its sidechain
interoperability. At the same time, we know it will be even better
for developers to have more choice in how they build on Klayr, and
that includes having mainchain accessibility,” said Lukas
Bronsvoort, co-founder and CEO of Klayr Labs.
