Features (ie. Things that make Litecash special)

  • No premine. No ICO. No Founders Rewards. No developer rewards.
  • Initial block reward 275, halving after 1 year from start of mainnet, and halving thereafter every 4 years (ala BTC)
  • Users have complete control over privacy - users have complete control over their personal data in accordance to their will and applicable laws.
  • Confidentiality without penalty - confidential transactions do not cause bloating of the blockchain, avoiding excessive computational overhead or penalty on performance or scalability while completely concealing the transaction value.
  • No trusted setup required
  • Blocks are mined using Equihash Proof-of-Work algorithm.
  • Limited emission using periodic halving.
  • No addresses are stored in the blockchain - no information whatsoever about either the sender or the receiver of a transaction is stored in the blockchain.
  • Superior scalability through compact blockchain size - using the “cut-through” feature of Mimblewimble makes the Litecash blockchain orders of magnitude smaller than any other blockchain implementation.
