About Litecoin (LTC)
Litecoin (LTC) describes itself as a peer-to-peer Internet currency for instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world: open-source, decentralised, with no central authority, and a Layer-1 chain of its own.
Charlie Lee adapted Bitcoin Core's code and launched it on 9 October 2011, which makes it one of the earliest Bitcoin offshoots. Its proof-of-work is secured by Scrypt, a memory-hard algorithm unlike Bitcoin's SHA-256, and it targets a new block roughly every 2.5 minutes for quicker payment confirmation. Supply is capped at about 84 million coins, and in May 2022 the network activated opt-in MWEB confidential transactions.

FAQ
Buying Litecoin: FAQs
Can my first Litecoin order be tiny?
Yes. Litecoin orders on Digital Surge start at $1 AUD, so a first purchase can stay small. Most people simply type a dollar figure in AUD and let the platform work out the LTC, rather than counting in coins themselves.
Does buying Litecoin take long?
Not usually. The slow steps happen only once: proving who you are, and making a first deposit that PayID trims to almost nothing. After that an order confirms in moments, with the LTC appearing in your balance the instant it fills at the live AUD price.
Can I sell or swap Litecoin on Digital Surge?
Yes. Your Litecoin can be sold for Australian dollars whenever you like, or swapped for a different coin in a single step inside the Digital Surge app. The AUD from a sale lands in your balance, ready to send on to the bank account you have linked.
Which network does a Litecoin withdrawal leave on?
Litecoin's own. LTC is a native Layer-1 coin, so the network and the coin are the same thing, and Digital Surge lists and settles it plainly as LTC. Withdrawals go to a Litecoin address, with no host chain or token standard to choose.
How many Litecoin will ever exist?
Litecoin has a fixed maximum supply of around 84 million coins, four times Bitcoin's 21 million cap, with the block reward halving on a set schedule. It is a design choice set at launch in 2011, not a live market figure, and it means no more than that ceiling will ever be created.
How do I look up today's Litecoin price?
The live LTC price sits in the tracker at the top of this page, quoted in Australian dollars and refreshed as the market moves. The converter just beneath it prices any amount either way, in AUD or LTC, on the same rate you will see at checkout.
