Litecoin LTC

On 2024-12-21 the current Litecoin price/exchange rate is 97.47 EUR.

Litecoin (symbol - LTC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency based on the Bitcoin protocol. 

It’s a peer-to-peer network designed for fast and secure overseas transactions with low costs.

Although it shares the same ideas as Bitcoin, Litecoin serves more as a means of buying and transactions. 

Also, Litecoin uses a different algorithm (called "scrypt"). Litecoin network has its own cryptocurrency LTC.

Litecoin blockchain uses the Proof-of-Work concept, which means LTC coins can be mined. 

Any user who supports the network with an electronic device and validates the transactions can be rewarded with LTC coins.

At the moment of writing this text, there are around 73 million LTC coins in circulation. 

The maximum amount of Litecoin tokens that can exist is limited to 84 million. It is estimated that the last Litecoin will be mined in 2140.

The main benefits of Litecoin are:

Also, Litecoin recently launched the MimbleWimble test network. 

The goal of this protocol is to test the confidentiality of transactions on the Litecoin network. 

Once this protocol is fully available, Litecoin users will be able to transfer funds in a completely private and secure way.

Litecoin is mined in a similar way as Bitcoin since it also uses a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism. 

Litecoin mining uses the Scrypt algorithm, as opposed to the SHA-256 algorithm that Bitcoin uses. 

The first miner to generate a hash (and validate) a new transaction, and add a new block will receive a reward in the form of Litecoin. 

After the last Halving of Litecoin, each miner who successfully confirms a new block will receive 6.25 LTCs.

The mining process is very competitive and requires expensive equipment.

Charlie Lee founded Litecoin in 2011, two years after Bitcoin appeared. 

According to founder Charlie Lee, Litecoin was supposed to be a "lighter" (Lite) version of Bitcoin.
