These enhancements aim to increase the network's transaction processing capability, reduce potential bottlenecks, and strive to achieve payment speeds four times faster than Bitcoin while maintaining near-zero transaction costs. The LTCU blockchain is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, launched with a 100% fair, unannounced distribution, without an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), high pre-mine, or pre-allocated funds.
