Litecoin: a closer look

What Litecoin is

Litecoin (LTC) appeared in 2011: Charlie Lee made a lighter and faster version of bitcoin. The coin is among the oldest on the market — and still in active circulation.

How Litecoin works

The consensus is Proof of Work on the Scrypt algorithm, a block comes out roughly every 2.5 minutes, four times more often than in bitcoin. The supply cap is 84 million coins, and the block reward halves about once every four years. Since 2022 the optional MWEB extension for confidential transactions has been available.

What Litecoin is for

LTC is moved between exchanges when fees in the bitcoin network are high, and it is used to pay where fast and cheap transfers are needed.

Sending LTC

Addresses start with L, M or ltc1. Fees are low, and the first confirmation usually arrives within a few minutes.

Where to keep Litecoin

Almost all multi-currency and hardware wallets work with LTC.

What to keep in mind

The price follows the market and above all bitcoin, and the moves can be sharp.
