Litecoin Mining Awards

Litecoin miners are rewarded with 25 LTC per block. This number, like in Bitcoin Halving, is reduced by 50% every 4 years. Litecoin is designed to produce a total of 84 million LTC (Litecoin). This number is 4 times more than Bitcoin.

Differences Between Litecoin and Bitcoin

There are differences between Litecoin and Bitcoin in terms of transaction speed. While the block processing speed in the Bitcoin network is 10 minutes, it takes 2.5 minutes in the LTC network. Due to this time difference, Litecoin has a much faster transaction confirmation feature than Bitcoin. Litecoin prefers the Scrypt algorithm instead of SHA-256 in the “Proof of Work” algorithm.

The reason why Litecoin uses the Scrpyt algorithm is because the ASIC and FPGA devices created for mining operations are used in Bitcoin and designing to SHA-256 will be quite costly.
