Litecoin was created by Charlie Lee in October 2011 from Bitcoin’s code. It makes a block every 2.5 minutes, so it confirms faster than Bitcoin, and its supply cap is 84 million — four times Bitcoin’s. It is mined with Scrypt.
It has been used to try new technology before Bitcoin (SegWit, Lightning), and in 2022 it added MWEB, which lets users choose to hide transactions. On this map a single LTC building forms the city.
