$LTC

Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that offers fast, secure, and low-cost payments by leveraging the unique properties of blockchain technology. It is based on the Bitcoin (BTC) protocol but differs in the hashing algorithm used, maximum market capitalization, block transaction time, and other factors.

Litecoin has a block time of only 2.5 minutes and very low transaction fees, making it suitable for microtransactions and point-of-sale payments. It was launched via an open-source client on GitHub on October 7, 2011, and the Litecoin network went live five days later, on October 13, 201.
