What is Litecoin?

Litecoin (LTC) has been a part of the cryptocurrency landscape since its launch in 2011. Developed by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer, Litecoin was designed to make digital payments faster and more accessible. If Bitcoin is considered "digital gold," Litecoin is often called "digital silver" because of its speed, affordability, and reliability as a payment option. Litecoin processes transactions about four times faster than Bitcoin, with new blocks created every 2.5 minutes instead of 10. This quicker speed enables faster confirmations, making Litecoin more suitable for day-to-day transactions. Plus, its fees are consistently low, which is why so many people use it for small payments like tips or donations. In 2022, Litecoin introduced a privacy feature called MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB), which allows users to make confidential transactions if they choose. Litecoin remains a strong player in the crypto space. With low fees and fast transaction times, Litecoin is widely used for cross-border payments, e-commerce, and even small transactions.
