About
DigiByte (DGB)

DigiByte (DGB) stands as a highly secure, decentralized, and rapidly transacting public blockchain technology, first conceptualized in 2013 and launched in 2014. Its primary purpose is to offer a robust infrastructure for secure digital payments, decentralized applications, and digital asset creation, prioritizing security and scalability. The core technology of this digital asset is distinguished by its unique multi-algorithm proof-of-work consensus mechanism. By employing five independent mining algorithms (Odocrypt, Skein, Qubit, Scrypt, SHA256D), DigiByte significantly enhances network security and decentralization, making it more resistant to single points of failure and 51% attacks. Another pivotal feature is DigiShield, an advanced real-time difficulty adjustment algorithm that protects the blockchain from malicious mining practices and ensures block time consistency.

The native DGB coin is integral to the ecosystem, serving as a fast and low-cost medium of exchange within its decentralized network. It also facilitates the creation and transfer of DigiAssets, which are secure, customizable digital assets built on top of the DigiByte blockchain, representing anything from real-world equities to digital collectibles, leveraging its strong cryptographic security. With one of the longest continuously running UTXO blockchains, DigiByte's commitment to on-chain scaling and true decentralization positions it as a foundational layer for various Web3 infrastructure components. This digital ledger provides a resilient platform for a variety of peer-to-peer transactions and asset management applications, showcasing its enduring tokenomics and utility token characteristics within the broader cryptocurrency landscape, distinct from smart contract platforms that rely on gas fees.
