LITECOIN

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world.

Litecoin is similar to Bitcoin, and in some ways a direct competitor. Like Bitcoin, Litecoin exists as a blockchain where participating nodes process transactions, and miners provide security and verification for each of those transactions.

Litecoin is an open source, global payment network that is fully decentralized without any central authorities. Mathematics secures the network and empowers individuals to control their own finances.

Litecoin features faster transaction confirmation times and improved storage efficiency than Bitcoin.

Since its launch in 2011 Litecoin has seen steady adoption with an active community of traders, merchants, and developers.
