Launched in 2014, DigiByte is a cutting-edge blockchain that has stood the test of time. With over 11 years of continuous development, it's not just another cryptocurrency — it's a robust, open-source project powered by one of the most passionate and globally distributed communities in the crypto space.
💥 Lightning-Fast Transactions
DigiByte boasts 15-second block times ⏱️ — making it 40x faster than Bitcoin and 10x faster than Litecoin. It’s also SegWit-enabled, allowing for even more efficient throughput. Combine that with ultra-low fees, and you get a payment system that's perfect for daily use and microtransactions.
🛡️ Rock-Solid Security
Security is in DigiByte’s DNA. Built on Bitcoin’s proven foundation, DigiByte enhances protection with five mining algorithms (MultiAlgo), including Odocrypt, providing resilience against centralization. The DigiShield protocol helps the network stay resistant to 51% attacks, maintaining a trustless, robust environment.
🌐 Truly Decentralized
There’s no CEO, no central company, and no controlling authority. DigiByte is a grassroots movement led by volunteers around the world. With tens of thousands of full nodes, it ranks among the most decentralized UTXO blockchains in existence — a true example of blockchain done right.
🧱 Powerful Technology Stack
DigiByte is built on a three-layer architecture:
- The top layer powers DigiAssets, enabling token creation, smart contracts, and dApps 🧩
- The middle layer acts as a secure public ledger for all transactions
- The bottom layer is the core protocol, enabling global communication and network operations
This layered design ensures speed, scalability, and security — the perfect foundation for innovation.
🆔 Next-Gen Authentication with Digi-ID
Digi-ID is a revolutionary authentication protocol. It eliminates the need for usernames, passwords, or even two-factor authentication. Users can log in using biometrics or a PIN through Digi-ID–supported apps 🔐. Since no personal data is stored, there’s no risk of data breaches — making it one of the most secure login methods available today.
🌟 100% Community Powered
DigiByte is not an ICO, and it was never premined ❌. With a total supply of 21 billion DGB, it’s designed for mass adoption. The network is sustained by a community of unpaid volunteers — developers, marketers, educators, and users — all working together to grow a truly decentralized financial ecosystem 🙌.
🌿 Taproot-Enhanced Privacy & Efficiency
DigiByte’s integration of Taproot brings a major leap forward in transaction flexibility and confidentiality. This Bitcoin-born upgrade allows for more complex smart contract functionalities while streamlining transaction data, which improves scalability. It also enhances privacy by making advanced scripts indistinguishable from standard transactions — all while preserving DigiByte’s lightning speed and rock-solid security.
