Layer 1
Litecoin
Litecoin is one of the oldest payment-focused cryptocurrencies and was designed to provide faster confirmations and cheaper transactions than Bitcoin. It is useful for beginners because it represents an early and still-relevant example of a blockchain built primarily for straightforward digital payments.
Why It Matters
Litecoin matters because it has remained one of the most recognized payment-oriented crypto assets for over a decade and still serves as a reference point for fast, lower-cost blockchain transfers.
