DigiByte (DGB) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency launched in 2014, designed to be a faster and more scalable alternative to Bitcoin. It was originally built on Litecoin's codebase, employs a multi-algorithm mining process, and frequently adjusts block difficulty to enhance security and decentralization. Despite its transaction processing speed far exceeding Bitcoin's, concerns about network centralization and low participation remain, with data as of August 2024 showing that the number of network nodes is still very limited.
