Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created in 2011 by Charlie Lee as a 'lighter' version of Bitcoin. Often called 'digital silver' to Bitcoin's 'digital gold,' Litecoin offers faster transaction confirmations and a different hashing algorithm (Scrypt).
LTC is the native cryptocurrency of the Litecoin network. With 2.5-minute block times (4x faster than Bitcoin) and lower transaction fees, Litecoin is designed for everyday payments and quick value transfers.
