Have you ever felt that coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin are not secure and scalable enough? If you have, then DigiByte is something for you!
DigiByte is a community-driven project that has no single point of failure, no ICO, no centralized company behind it, and the founder, developers, and the community are unpaid volunteers that eliminate the bankrupt risk. DigiByte is more than a faster digital currency. It is an innovative blockchain that can be used for digital assets, smart contracts, decentralized applications, and secure authentication.
The Bitcoin.com Exchange is happy to announce that we are listing DGB on our platform and available for trading from tomorrow!
What is DigiByte?
It is the longest Proof of Work UTXO based blockchain with three layers. The three layers are for smart contracts, decentralized applications, and digital assets. The public ledger is the middle layer where the DGB coin can serve as its base digital asset.
DigiByte was founded by Jared Tate, who is the founder and creator of the DigiByte blockchain. Jared dedicated full-time development towards DigiByte since October 2013. He has been invited by MIT, Harvard, and the US Capitol to speak on blockchain tech. He is also the co-author of the book “Blockchain 2035 The Digital DNA of Internet 3.0”, which is the first book written by a blockchain founder. DigiByte (DGB) is like any other cryptocurrency suitable for payments or transferring value.
Why DigiByte is different?
DigiByte has been working for years thus it managed to prove its security as a blockchain network. Originally, it was launched as a single proof-of-work algorithm but the most unique feature of the project is something else. It was made to prevent mining centralization and to make the network more secure and decentralized therefore it uses five mining algorithms while other networks only use one.
In addition, DigiByte claims to have the “most advanced difficulty stability” of any blockchain through DigiShield, which is being used in Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Zcash, Dogecoin, and many other blockchains. DigiShield re-targets DigiBytes ‘ difficulty in realtime to protect against multi-pools and an over-inflation of easily mined new coins.
DigiByte is 40x faster than Bitcoin because of its 15-second block time compared to BTC 10 minutes blocktime. DigiByte was also the first major Altcoin to implement Segregated Witness technology to improve scalability. From a security and scalability perspective, DigiByte unarguably is ahead of Bitcoin and Litecoin.
How is it produced?
DGB has a fixed supply and a schedule for distribution. There will only be a total of 21 billion DigiBytes created within 21 years. Since there was no ICO, new DigiBytes are always created through mining. The last DGB will be mined approximately in 2035.
