What is Litecoin?

"Charlie" Lee, a former Google engineer, created Litecoin (LTC) in October 2011. A number of modifications were made to Bitcoin's open-source code before Litecoin was created.

Similar to Bitcoin, Litecoin uses an open-source network for global payments that is not centralized. Litecoin differs from Bitcoin in aspects like its faster block generation rate and use of Scrypt as a proof of work algorithm.

A derivative of Bitcoin's original open-source code, it is considered one of the first altcoins. As a competitor to Bitcoin, it was initially very strong.

Due to the emergence of new cryptocurrencies in recent years, Litecoin's popularity has waned somewhat as the cryptocurrency market has become less saturated and more competitive.

It is widely considered that Litecoin is a reaction to Bitcoin. Lee referred to Litecoin as the "lite version of Bitcoin" when he announced its debut on a popular Bitcoin forum.

This is why Litecoin has many of the same features as Bitcoin, as well as some changes and improvements that the development team thought needed to be made.

With 150 premined coins, the total supply of Litecoin is 84 million coins. A new block is created every 2.5 seconds on the Litecoin blockchain. Litecoin's supply is designed to decrease over time in order to preserve its value.

When the hash and transaction information within a block are validated, the reward is halved and a new block is created. By halving, the number of Litecoins awarded is cut in half, which slows the creation of new coins.

Halving dates for LTC:

  • Aug. 25, 2015: 50 to 25 LTCs
  • Aug. 5, 2019: 25 to 12.5 LTCs
  • Aug. 23, 2023 (expected): 12.5 to 6.25 LTCs

Why is Litecoin unique?

Litecoin is one of the popular pure cryptocurrencies. This success can be largely attributed to its simplicity and clear utility benefits.

LTC is now accepted in more than 2,000 merchants and stores worldwide as of January 2021, making Litecoin one of the most widely accepted cryptocurrencies.

Speed and cost-effectiveness are the main benefits of Litecoin. The confirmation of Litecoin transactions usually takes just minutes, and transaction fees are comparatively small.

Because of this, it is an appealing alternative to Bitcoin in developing countries, where transaction fees may be the deciding factor for which cryptocurrency to support.

Also in late 2020, Litecoin saw the release of the MimbleWimble (MW) testnet, which is designed to test Mimblewimble-based confidential transactions on Litecoin.

Why is Litecoin secure?

Because Litecoin is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency, its cryptographic defenses are extremely strong, making it nearly impossible to crack.

The PoW consensus algorithm ensures that Litecoin transactions are confirmed quickly and without error, like Bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies.

In addition to preventing double-spends and other attacks, the Litecoin mining network ensures 100% network uptime.

What is cryptocurrency exchange and how to buy Litecoin?
