# Litecoin

[Litecoin](https://litecoin.org/) (LTC) is a cryptocurrency designed for fast, secure, and low-cost payments using blockchain technology. Based on the Bitcoin protocol, Litecoin features a faster block time of 2.5 minutes and lower transaction fees, making it ideal for micro-transactions and point-of-sale payments.
