The DigiByte blockchain was developed in 2013 and released in <a href="https://www.digibyte.io/digibyte-frequently-asked-questions" alt="https://www.digibyte.io/digibyte-frequently-asked-questions" title="https://www.digibyte.io/digibyte-frequently-asked-questions">January 2014</a> by <a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=Creator_&_Founder_of_DigiByte" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=Creator_&_Founder_of_DigiByte" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=Creator_&_Founder_of_DigiByte">Jared Tate</a> (Creator & Founder of DigiByte) with an open-source protocol.
Although based on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin" alt="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin">Bitcoin</a>, adjustments in the code allow for improved functionality, including 15-second block time, real-time difficulty adjustment and improved security, because of this DigiByte is very suitable for facilitating fast and secure transactions.
DigiByte is also the <a href="https://twitter.com/digibytecoin/status/857995712843448320?lang=en" alt="https://twitter.com/digibytecoin/status/857995712843448320?lang=en" title="https://twitter.com/digibytecoin/status/857995712843448320?lang=en">first major Altcoin to successfully activate SegWit </a>(April 2017), <a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=MultiAlgo" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=MultiAlgo" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=MultiAlgo">MultiAlgo mining</a> (September 2014) and <a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiShield" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiShield" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiShield">DigiShield</a> (February 2014).
Since 2014, many other blockchains have adopted DigiByte technology such as <a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiShield" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiShield" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiShield">DigiShield</a>.
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.
<a href="https://twitter.com/digibytecoin?lang=en" alt="https://twitter.com/digibytecoin?lang=en" title="https://twitter.com/digibytecoin?lang=en">DGB</a> is the Digital Asset/ <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cryptocurrency.asp" alt="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cryptocurrency.asp" title="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cryptocurrency.asp">Cryptocurrency</a> and is being mined over time (<a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=Why_so_many_coins?_21Billion" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=Why_so_many_coins?_21Billion" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=Why_so_many_coins?_21Billion">21 Billion over 21 years 2014-2035 with a 1000:1 ratio to BTC</a>) with a max supply of 21Billion in 2035. When mass adoption arrives, average people can still afford to buy an entire DigiByte.
DigiByte is secured by 280.000 nodes world-wide and is distributed by <a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiByte_Mining_Breakdown" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiByte_Mining_Breakdown" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiByte_Mining_Breakdown">5 parallel cryptographic hashing algorithms</a> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work" alt="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work">PoW</a>) which secure the network and make it truly un-hackable.
DigiByte transactions are nearly instantaneous and it takes 15 seconds for a first confirmation, because of this DigiByte is 40x faster than <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin" alt="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin">Bitcoin</a>.
Thanks to <a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiSpeed" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiSpeed" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiSpeed">DigiSpeed</a>,DigiByte can scale on-chain with 560 TPS now and will attain 280.000 TPS in 2035 with fees being as low as 0,01 ct USD.
The security of the network and its incredible speed (<a href="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiSpeed" alt="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiSpeed" title="https://www.dgbwiki.com/index.php?title=DigiSpeed">40 x faster than Bitcoin</a>) & low fees makes DigiByte very suitable for performing safe and fast transactions.
As of July 20th 2019 DigiByte has a <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/digibyte/" alt="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/digibyte/" title="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/digibyte/">total market cap of over US $140 million</a>, but has reached a peak of $1.3B in the past. It is the world's longest, fastest and most secure PoW (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work" alt="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work">Proof of Work</a>) UTXO(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unspent_transaction_output" alt="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unspent_transaction_output" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unspent_transaction_output">Unspent transaction output</a>) blockchain in existence.
