Litecoin performance notes

Litecoin is a proof of work Layer 1 that launched in October 2011 and has run for 15 years without a recorded outage. It mines Scrypt blocks every 2.5 minutes, four times as often as Bitcoin, on the same UTXO model and Script language. Most miners also merge-mine Dogecoin for extra income. The network averages about 2 TPS, with fees near a third of a cent. MWEB, live since May 2022, adds optional confidential transactions.

GetBlock runs Litecoin Core nodes on mainnet and testnet in Frankfurt, New York and Singapore, with JSON-RPC and the Blockbook API on one API key. Blockbook indexes addresses, transactions and balances, so wallets and explorers skip running their own indexer. Limitless Nodes give flat-rate throughput from 25 RPS in Frankfurt, and Dedicated Nodes serve exchanges, custodians and payment providers. Crypto AML Check screens Litecoin wallets for sanctions and illicit funds.
