Why Litecoin?

Litecoin started out as a “clone” of Bitcoin in 2011: it shared almost all of its code, with just a few key differences that aimed to make it a better medium for day-to-day commerce in the digital age.

meaning it’s proportionately cheaper than Bitcoin. Its hashing algorithm is memory-based rather than CPU-based, making it easier for the average person to mine.

In many ways, Litecoin is targeting the same niche as Bitcoin Cash: it aims to be the digital cash to complement Bitcoin’s function as a store of value. One of the most critical factors to the success of a digital cash is mass adoption, and we intend to help facilitate this adoption through our integration of LTC across multiple orderbooks.
