On 15th August, Lisk, made an announcement on their official Twitter page, that the migration of Lisk Core 1.o to Mainnet will be taking place on 29th August. Lisk is a platform that allows developers to deploy and develop their own blockchain and decentralized applications. In their official blog, Lisk stated that the migration will take place at a certain height.

Post August 29th, the Lisk Mainnet nodes will be upgraded to Lisk Core 1.0 from the old version, Lisk Core 0.9.16, they explained.

Lisk also announced that a team of engineers will be assigned to administer and manage the migration which will take place on the forecasted date.
