Litecoin (LTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee in 2011 as a faster, more scalable alternative to Bitcoin. It uses a modified Proof of Work consensus algorithm called Scrypt, enabling quicker block generation times (2.5 minutes per block) and lower transaction fees. Litecoin is often used for smaller transactions and micro-payments due to its efficiency and lower costs. It has a maximum supply of 84 million coins, four times that of Bitcoin.
With Kryptos, you can easily track your Litecoin wallet in real-time and gain insights into your holdings, generate holdings and tax reports, and manage your portfolio.
