& Liquidity
Litecoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables cost-effective and instant payments globally. It operates on a Proof of Work mechanism, using the Scrypt hashing algorithm to secure transactions and promote participation. The network features a block generation time of 2.5 minutes, facilitating faster transaction confirmations and a maximum supply of 84 million tokens.
The LTC token serves various purposes, including global payments and microtransactions, with smaller units referred to as litoshis. New tokens are rewarded to miners for validating transactions, undergoing a halving approximately every four years to manage inflation. Founded by Charlie Lee, Litecoin is supported by the Litecoin Foundation and maintained by a decentralized community and a global network of miners.
Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
Track record score 95 out of 100. Litecoin has a long operating history of 14.6 years and shows strong regulatory cleanliness with 0 regulatory actions. Incident history is mostly clean with 1 historical incident recorded, and the overall profile supports a high level of established legitimacy and continuity for an L1 protocol.
Developer health score 42 out of 100. The project has substantial community activity with 4,266 GitHub stars and 3,059 forks, and it also shows 48 PR contributors. However, commit cadence is low, with only 1 commit in the last 4 weeks, which reduces confidence in short-term development momentum relative to peers.
Network security score 77 out of 100. The chain age is strong at 14.6 years and the system has a hard supply cap defined at 84,000,000, with 100% of total supply circulating. Economic security is moderate based on market cap of $4,533,079,756, and incident history is relatively contained with 1 historical incident on record.
Social and behavioral score 64 out of 100. Social audience metrics are limited for TW and RD with linked accounts but 25 in combined audience visibility, and there is no social analytics snapshot available. Sentiment appears stable with 100% up and 0% down. Risk signals are mixed, showing 0 allegations, 1 bad press item, 0 regulatory actions, and 1 incident, plus there is no enrichment record for additional agent risk detail.
Adoption and liquidity score 66 out of 100. Trading activity is moderate to strong with $427,274,816 daily volume and the asset is widely available across exchanges, with 63 CEX listings (34 green-trust). Liquidity quality is balanced but not top-tier due to the market cap tier score of 22 for a market cap of $4,533,079,756.
Inherent crypto risk for Litecoin: even with a solid long track record and fully circulating supply, crypto assets remain exposed to market volatility, liquidity and pricing swings, and protocol or ecosystem changes over time. Network security and development indicators can shift, and social or incident events can affect sentiment and adoption even when they are not currently severe.
