Description
Litecoin is a peer‑to‑peer cryptocurrency created in 2011 by former Google engineer Charlie Lee. It was designed as a “lighter” version of Bitcoin, offering faster transaction confirmation times and employing the Scrypt proof‑of‑work algorithm.
Litecoin runs on its own blockchain, uses a capped supply of 84 million coins—four times that of Bitcoin—and the smallest unit is called a litoshi. The ticker symbol is Ł. The network has often been used as a testing ground for Bitcoin protocol upgrades such as SegWit and the Lightning Network.
