About This Pair

About Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin (LTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created in 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer. Often referred to as "silver to Bitcoin's gold," Litecoin was designed to be a faster and more lightweight version of Bitcoin. It features faster block generation times and a different hashing algorithm, making it a popular choice for everyday transactions.

Technical Features

Litecoin uses the Scrypt hashing algorithm instead of Bitcoin's SHA-256, which initially made it more accessible for consumer-grade hardware mining. With a block time of just 2.5 minutes (compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes), Litecoin offers faster transaction confirmations. The maximum supply is capped at 84 million coins, exactly four times Bitcoin's limit.

Technological Innovations

Litecoin has been a testing ground for Bitcoin upgrades. It was the first major cryptocurrency to implement Segregated Witness (SegWit) and the Lightning Network. In 2022, Litecoin activated the MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) upgrade, which enhances privacy and fungibility while improving scalability through smaller transaction sizes.

Transaction Confirmations

Litecoin transactions are typically considered secure after 6 confirmations, which takes about 15 minutes. This is significantly faster than Bitcoin and makes Litecoin suitable for point-of-sale payments and everyday transactions. Transaction fees are generally much lower than those of Bitcoin, particularly during times of high network congestion.
