Litecoin miners use the Scrypt proof-of-work algorithm to add blocks and receive LTC. The network targets about two and a half minutes per block. That target is an average, so a payment can wait longer or shorter for its first confirmation.
Litecoin also offers an optional privacy feature called Mimblewimble Extension Blocks, or MWEB. Amounts are hidden for transfers inside MWEB. Support varies by wallet and exchange, so check the recipient’s deposit instructions before using it.
Litecoin has its own issuance schedule and an 84 million LTC supply limit. The circulating supply on this page estimates the coins already in the market. Use it alongside the cap to see how far issuance has progressed.
