What is Litecoin?

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created in 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer, as a lighter and faster alternative to Bitcoin. It uses a modified proof-of-work algorithm (Scrypt) and produces blocks every 2.5 minutes — four times faster than Bitcoin. Often called "digital silver" to Bitcoin's "digital gold," Litecoin has a maximum supply of 84 million coins and is one of the longest-running cryptocurrencies.
