The most important question to ask when evaluating a sidechain's proposal is «Who is the custodian of the bitcoin while I am transacting on the sidechain?»

At the same time, the equal number of LSK tokens will be replicated on the sidechain and can be used by yourself as normally, which means that in the case of a badly written sidechain or blockchain application, all LSK tokens are safe and can be retrieved easily by the sidechain owner.
