Litecoin (LTC) is a peer-to-peer proof-of-work cryptocurrency released in October 2011 as a faster, cheaper-to-use relative of Bitcoin. It keeps Bitcoin's basic design (a UTXO ledger, fixed supply, halvings) but changes three parameters: a 2.5-minute block target instead of 10 minutes, the Scrypt mining algorithm instead of SHA-256, and a maximum supply of 84 million LTC instead of 21 million. With more than a decade of continuous operation, it is one of the oldest blockchains still in wide use for payments and exchange transfers.
Official resources:
Litecoin was created by Charlie Lee, then a Google employee who later became an engineering director at Coinbase. Before Litecoin, a coin called Tenebrix had swapped Bitcoin's SHA-256 mining for Scrypt but reserved 7.7 million coins for its developers, which users criticized. Lee built a variant without that premine and released Litecoin as an open-source client on GitHub on 7 October 2011. The project is maintained by independent volunteer developers, with the non-profit Litecoin Foundation supporting development and adoption; it was not venture funded.
Key milestones:
September 2014: merged mining with Dogecoin Dogecoin began merge-mining with Litecoin, so Scrypt miners can secure both chains with the same work.
10 May 2017: Segregated Witness activated SegWit locked in and activated at block 1,201,536, fixing transaction malleability and enabling second-layer payment channels such as the Lightning Network.
October 2020: PayPal support PayPal added Litecoin to its crypto feature alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash.
September 2021: Walmart hoax A fake press release on GlobeNewswire claimed a Walmart partnership; LTC jumped about 30% before the release was exposed as false.
May 2022: MWEB activated Litecoin Core 0.21.2 (released 8 May 2022) shipped MimbleWimble Extension Blocks, which activated as a soft fork later that month.
2 August 2023: third halving At block 2,520,000 the block reward fell from 12.5 to 6.25 LTC.
Litecoin Core remains actively maintained: v0.21.5.8 was released on 12 September 2026.
Proof-of-work with Scrypt Miners compete to find blocks by hashing with Scrypt, a memory-hard function originally chosen to resist specialized hardware. Dedicated Scrypt ASICs now dominate mining, so the practical effect today is that Litecoin's hashpower is separate from Bitcoin's SHA-256 miners rather than GPU-friendly.
2.5-minute blocks The protocol targets one block every 150 seconds and retargets difficulty every 2,016 blocks (about 3.5 days). Faster blocks mean a first confirmation typically arrives sooner than on Bitcoin.
Fixed supply and halvings Supply is capped at 84 million LTC. The block reward started at 50 LTC and halves every 840,000 blocks, roughly every four years. After the August 2023 halving the reward is 6.25 LTC; the next halving is scheduled at block 3,360,000, which at the target pace falls around mid-2027. Each LTC divides into 100 million litoshis.
Bitcoin-compatible scripting Because Litecoin tracks Bitcoin Core's codebase, it supports the same transaction model, multisig, SegWit addresses and Lightning channels.
LTC is the native asset of the network. It pays transaction fees, rewards miners through the block subsidy, and is the unit transferred between users and merchants. Its low fees and wide exchange support also make it a common "transport" asset for moving value between trading venues.
It is often called "digital silver" to Bitcoin's "digital gold", which is a cultural framing rather than a protocol property.
Security comes from Scrypt proof-of-work: rewriting history requires out-mining the honest network. Merged mining with Dogecoin adds that chain's miners to the same Scrypt hashpower pool. Independent nodes running Litecoin Core validate every block against the consensus rules, and upgrades such as SegWit and MWEB were deployed as soft forks activated by miner signalling, so nodes that did not upgrade stayed on the same chain.
Litecoin shows how a Bitcoin-derived chain can keep a simple, predictable monetary policy while shipping upgrades that Bitcoin adopted later or never adopted. Its long uptime record, wide exchange support and opt-in privacy keep it one of the most practical proof-of-work assets for everyday transfers.
