DigiByte $DGB

DigiByte is an innovative blockchain that serves more than just as a digital currency. It allows for digital assets, smart contracts, decentralized applications, and secure authentication. Created in 2013, DigiByte has evolved over 6 years into one of the safest, fastest, longest, and most decentralized UTXO blockchain in existence, setting it apart from others.

Truly Decentralized and Secure

DigiByte operates on a volunteer-based and global community-driven project, devoid of any CEO or company controlling the blockchain. Its security is boosted by five cryptographic algorithms and real-time difficulty adjustment to prevent malicious mining centralization and hash power fluctuation. A unique feature is the Odocrypt that alters itself every 10 days for ASIC resistance.

Speed and Forward Thinking

With a block occurrence every 15 seconds, DigiByte is 40x faster than Bitcoin and 10x faster than Litecoin. Its early SegWit implementation and blockchain rigidity enable up to 1066 on-chain transactions per second with negligible fees. Over the past 6 years, DigiByte has rolled out multiple blockchain firsts, such as DigiShield guard, MultiAlgo mining, SegWit implementation, Odocrypt algorithm, Dandelion++ privacy protocol, DigiAssets, and Digi-ID.

DigiByte Blockchain Layers

The DigiByte blockchain operates on three innovative layers providing the network infrastructure, security, and communications. The top layer is akin to an app store with numerous real-world uses, including all types of digital assets that can be created with the DigiAssets protocol on top of the DigiByte blockchain.

The middle layer focuses on security and administration, operating as a digital byte of data, a representation of larger data or a unit that holds value, and is immutable. The bottom layer provides communication and operating procedures, allowing any server, computer, tablet, or mobile phone connected to the DigiByte network to become a node that helps relay transactions.

Open Source and Permissionless

Likewise to the DigiByte.io website, the DigiByte blockchain is completely open source and free to use under the MIT license, which grants the freedom to run and modify the software.

A Digital Currency for all Users
