DigiByte Introduction

DigiByte (DGB) is a decentralized global UTXO PoW based blockchain (just like Bitcoin) with a focus on Cyber Security, DigiAssets, Payments & Secure Communications Technologies.

The DigiByte blockchain was developed in 2013 and released in January 2014 by Jared Tate (Creator & Founder of DigiByte) with an open-source protocol.

Although based on Bitcoin, adjustments in the code allow for improved functionality, including 15-second block time, real-time difficulty adjustment and improved security.

Because of these adjustments in the code, DigiByte is very suitable for facilitating fast and secure transactions.

DigiByte is also the first major Altcoin to successfully activate SegWit (April 2017), MultiAlgo mining (September 2014), DigiShield (February 2014) and Odocrypt (July 2019).

Since 2014, many other blockchains like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Zcash & Dogecoin have adopted DigiByte technology such as DigiShield.

DigiByte has never been funded through an ICO, presale or token sale, nor is there a private company controlling the DigiByte Blockchain in line with our vision for a decentralized digital future.

DGB is the Digital Asset/ Cryptocurrency with a 1000:1 ratio to BTC that is being mined over 21 years (2014-2035) with a max supply of 21Billion in the year 2035. When mass adoption arrives, average people can still afford to buy an entire DigiByte.

With DigiAssets you can build on top of DigiByte, because it is a secure, scalable secondary layer on top of the global DigiByte blockchain that allows for the decentralized issuance of assets, tokens, smart contracts, digital identity and much more.

DigiByte have had 285,000 + full node downloads since 2017.

As of January 2020 12,000 nodes are active world-wide & the network is distributed by 5 parallel cryptographic hashing algorithms (PoW) which secure the network and make it truly un-hackable.

DigiByte transactions are nearly instantaneous and it takes 15 seconds for a first confirmation, this makes DigiByte 40x faster than Bitcoin.

Thanks to DigiSpeedDigiByte can scale On-Chain with 1066 TPS SegWit weighted, with fees being as low as 0,01 ct USD.

The security of the network, it's incredible speed (40 x faster than Bitcoin) & low fees makes DigiByte very suitable for performing fast and safe transactions.

As of January 2020 DigiByte has a total market cap of over US $70 million, but has reached a peak of $1.3B in the past. It is the world's longest, fastest and most secure UTXO(Unspent transaction output) PoW (Proof of Work) based blockchain in existence.
