#DigiShield is an advanced difficulty adjustment algorithm that ensures fair mining and protects the network from malicious attacks.

It achieves this protection by recalculating block difficulty between each block, allowing for a faster correction when a multi-pool begins or ceases contributing to #DigiByte rather than recalculating once every 2 weeks as is the case with Bitcoin.

The DigiShield code has been adopted by other blockchains, such as Ethereum, Zcash, Dogecoin, and many others
