Overview
LTCThe Litecoin genesis block is the first block mined on the Litecoin blockchain network.
The genesis block represents the starting point of Litecoin's blockchain ledger and the beginning of its scrypt-based mining process.
The 50 LTC mining reward from the genesis block was sent to Litecoin's creator, initiating the distribution and circulation of LTC.
By using scrypt as its proof-of-work algorithm, Litecoin set out to complement rather than compete with Bitcoin, while also aiming to improve on areas like transaction speed.
The genesis block of Litecoin kickstarted its blockchain and mining process, issuing 50 LTC to its creator Charlie Lee.
Litecoin paved the way for many subsequent altcoins and helped demonstrate the viability of blockchain systems beyond Bitcoin.
