Litecoin (LTC) is an open source, worldwide decentralized, distributed Internet cash or digital currency, that depends on the Blockchain innovation that transacts (currently) four times quicker than BitCoin, with close to zero cost, to anybody around the globe. It was a fork of the Bitcoin Core client, differing primarily by having a decreased block generation time of about 2.5 minutes, increased maximum number of coins, different hashing algorithm (scrypt, instead of SHA-256), and a slightly modified GUI.

The Litecoin (LTC) was discharged through an open-source customer on GitHub on the seventh day of October, 2011 by Charlie Lee, a previous Google worker. The Litecoin (LTC) Network went live on October 13, 2011, 6 days after its discharged. Amid the long stretch of November 2013, the total estimation of LiteCoin (LTC) experienced huge development which incorporated a 100% jump inside 24 hours.

In May 2017, Litecoin turned into the first of the main 5 (as indicated by CoinMarketCap) cryptographic forms of money to receive Segregated Witness. Later in May of that year, the primary Lightning Network exchange was finished through Litecoin, exchanging 0.00000001 LTC from Zurich to San Francisco in less than one moment.

The Litecoin blockchain is equipped for dealing with higher exchange volume than its partner Bitcoin. With LTC, traders get quicker affirmation times.

The Litecoin Network means to process a square at regular intervals, as opposed to Bitcoin of around 10 minutes, which its designers assert considers speedier exchange affirmation. Litecoin utilizes scrypt in its verification of-work calculation, a consecutive memory-hard capacity requiring asymptotically more memory than a calculation which isn't memory-hard.

The Litecoin (LTC) came to a $1 billion market limit in November 2013.
