DGB Info

DigiByte is an open-source blockchain and asset creation platform that originated as a fork of Bitcoin in January 2014. It focuses on enhancing the security, capacity, and transaction speed of the original Bitcoin blockchain. DigiByte introduces a multifaceted approach to improve upon Bitcoin’s framework, utilizing five different algorithms to bolster its security features.

The operational structure of DigiByte is composed of three layers: the core protocol with nodes that relay transactions, a public ledger, and a smart contract platform termed the “App Store”. This layered architecture enables DigiByte to offer a robust platform for the development and execution of decentralized applications (DApps), digital assets, and smart contracts, emphasizing enhanced security through its multi-algorithm approach.

The native cryptocurrency of the DigiByte blockchain is DGB, which serves as the primary medium of exchange within the network. DGB is used for transaction fees, which are paid to miners for blockchain validation services. The introduction of DigiAssets, a platform for launching digital assets and DApps that uses DGB as its native token, represents an expansion of DigiByte’s functionality, catering to developers interested in deploying digital assets and smart contracts. Governance on the DigiByte network operates voluntarily, reflecting its commitment to maintaining an open-source, publicly accessible network.
