What is Litecoin (LTC)?
Litecoin (LTC) is one of the pioneer cryptocurrencies that debuted in the crypto space after Bitcoin. LTC was launched in 2011 as Bitcoin-inspired crypto. Litecoin’s creator Charlie Lee calls it a “coin that is silver to Bitcoin’s gold”. Just like Bitcoin, the Litecoin blockchain also operates on the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus
Bitcoin and Litecoin have key differences in their supply cap, hashing algorithm, and transaction speed. LTC has a fixed supply cap of 84 million which is greater than Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap. Unlike Bitcoin’s SHA-26 hashing algorithm, Litecoin uses the Scrypt algorithm. It takes around 2.5 minutes for a block to be generated on the Litecoin blockchain whereas it would take 10 minutes on Bitcoin.
