More secure, Faster,

Forward thinking.

DigiByte is more than a faster digital currency. It is an innovative blockchain that can be used for digital assets, smart contracts, decentralized applications and secure authentication.

What makes DigiByte stronger than others?

DigiByte is a rapidly growing open-source blockchain created in late 2013 and released in early 2014 After 9 years of forward thinking development, DigiByte has become one of the safest, fastest, longest and most decentralized UTXO blockchain in existence

DigiByte has never been funded through an ICO or significant amount of premined coins There is no CEO or a company controlling the DigiByte blockchain It is a volunteer based and global community driven project

DigiByte uses 5 cryptographic algorithms and real time difficulty adjustment to prevent malicious mining centralization and hash power fluctuation One of which is Odocrypt that changes itself every 10 days for ASIC resistance

DigiByte blocks occur every 15 seconds which is 40x faster than Bitcoin and 10x faster than Litecoin Early SegWit implementation and blockchain rigidity enable up to 1066 on-chain transactions per second with negligible fees

Over the past 7 years, DigiByte has repeatedly set itself apart with multiple blockchain firsts, such as DigiShield guard, MultiAlgo mining, SegWit implementation, Odocrypt algorithm, Dandelion++ privacy protocol, DigiAssets and Digi-ID

This is how the DigiByte blockchain works.

The three layers are the most innovative parts of the DigiByte blockchain providing the network infrastructure, security and communications to function with cutting edge speed

The top layer is like an app store with clear real-world uses All types of digital assets can be created with the DigiAssets protocol on top of the DigiByte blockchain Decentralized applications (dApps) can be built on top of the DigiByte blockchain Also smart contracts that leverage the rigidity and security of the DigiByte blockchain can be encoded easily

Digital asset / Public ledger.

The middle layer provides security and administration A Digital Byte of data, a representation of larger data or a unit that holds value, and cannot be counterfeited, duplicated or hacked An immutable public ledger where all transactions of DigiBytes are recorded DigiByte uses five proof of work algorithms for security New DigiBytes come from mining only

Core protocol / Global network.

The bottom layer provides communication and operating procedures A very low-level way nodes on the DigiByte global network communicate Thousands of people are running DigiByte software all across the planet Any server, computer, tablet or mobile phone connected to the DigiByte network becomes a node that helps relay transactions Start contributing to the DigiByte blockchain in the optimal way

Open source / Permissionless.

Just like this website, the DigiByte blockchain is completely open source and free to use released under the MIT license, which gives you the power to run and modify the software Transparency allows for independent verification of binaries and their corresponding source code DigiByte Protocol on GitHub DigiByte Core Development on GitHub
