DigiByte is a highly scalable peer-to-peer digital currency that enables industry-leading transaction speeds with negligible fees. DigiByte offers a highly robust means of making digital payments, supports a strong ecosystem and is the longest running cryptocurrency in the world .
DGB is one of the few forward-thinking blockchains that is not merely limited to being used as just a digital currency (despite the fact that DigiByte truly excels in this area over and above every other Proof of Work blockchain), but rather as a multi-functional and highly purposed blockchain.
Market Demand:
According to a survey by bitFLyer, because of the corona-virus crisis, Europeans trust more in the future of cryptocurrencies: 66% of those surveyed believe that this will be a feasible alternative in the next ten years.
By the year 2021, eCommerce is expected to generate $4.5 trillion in sales per year and make up 16% of total retail sales. By the year 2040, it’s estimated that 95% of all purchases will be through eCommerce.
As an option for the future, cryptocurrencies seem to be the perfect payment method in ecommerce as this is a digital transaction system.
Secure and battle-tested in the wild for 6 years, DigiByte has proven that its security as a blockchain is for real. Its most unique feature is the fact that the blockchain network uses five mining algorithms when most only use one. These five different mining algorithms are meant to prevent mining centralization and make the network more secure and decentralized.
In addition to having five mining algorithms, DigiByte also claims to have the “most advanced difficulty stability” of any current blockchain. The advanced difficulty adjustments are meant to protect the DigiByte blockchain from malicious attacks and further improve security.
A new DigiByte block is mined approximately every 15-18 seconds vs 10 minutes for Bitcoin. It’s 40 times faster than Bitcoin, and its five-year lifespan so far easily outpaced Bitcoin’s transactions in throughput alone. At 280 transactions per second, DigiByte hasn’t slowed in its old age, proving it’s a more scalable payment and mining option than Bitcoin.
The Team
Jared Tate is the founder and creator of the DigiByte blockchain. Jared has been involved with Bitcoin since 2012. In the fall of 2013, he decided to make several improvements to the Bitcoin core protocol which culminated in the launch of DigiByte in 2014. DigiByte has pioneered many blockchain enhancements such as DigiShield, MultiShield and MultiAlgo which have all now been implemented by many other blockchains. DigiByte was also the first major blockchain to adopt SegWit.
Tate has been invited by MIT, Harvard and the US Capitol to speak on blockchain tech. He is also the co-author of the book Blockchain 2035 The Digital DNA of Internet 3.0, which is the first book written by a blockchain founder.
