DigiByte (DGB) is a decentralized global UTXO blockchain created in 2013 with an open-source protocol.
DGB is the Digital Asset/ Cryptocurrency and is being mined over time with a max supply of 21Billion (over 21 years) in 2035. The DigiByte blockchain was developed in 2013 and released in January 2014 .


Although based on Bitcoin, adjustments in the code allow for improved functionality, including 15-second block time, real-time difficulty adjustment and improved security.
The DigiByte blockchain has 5 different ways of confirming transactions, this makes DigiByte one of the safest networks, with a zero chance of a 51% attack (a take-over of the majority of all the mining power).


The security of the network and its incredible speed (40 x faster than Bitcoin) makes DigiByte very suitable for performing safe and fast transactions.
As of July 20th 2019 DigiByte has a total market cap of over US $140 million, but has reached a peak of $1.3B in the past. It is the world's longest, fastest and most secure PoW (Proof of Work) UTXO(Unspent transaction output) blockchain in existence.
