DigiByte is a highly secure, multi-algorithm UTXO blockchain built for scale. Operating with 15-second block times and a twelve-year history of uninterrupted uptime, the network provides a battle-tested foundation for DGB, DigiAssets, decentralized Digi-ID authentication, and — very soon — DigiDollar.
Available across the ecosystem
A pure proof-of-work UTXO chain that has shipped industry firsts since 2014 — DigiShield, MultiAlgo, SegWit, Odocrypt, Dandelion++, DigiAssets and Digi-ID.
40× faster than Bitcoin and 10× faster than Litecoin. Fifteen-second confirmations mean point-of-sale payments, exchange deposits and asset transfers all finalize in the time it takes to read this sentence — without the contention or fee spikes of slower chains.
DigiByte secures blocks through five independent proof-of-work algorithms — SHA-256d, Scrypt, Skein, Qubit and Odocrypt. Each one targets a different mining ecosystem (CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC) and Odocrypt re-randomizes itself every 10 days to keep ASIC dominance off the table. Attacking the chain means attacking five algorithms at once.
DGB is mathematically limited to 21 billion coins, emitted on a transparent monthly-reduction schedule. No dev tax, no governance unlocks, no hidden allocations. Predictable scarcity is what makes a monetary asset credible — and it's why every byte of DGB carries demonstrable, verifiable value over time.
Since January 2014 the mainnet has produced blocks every fifteen seconds without interruption. No re-orgs at depth, no governance forks, no emergency hard forks. That uptime, paired with thousands of independently-operated nodes worldwide, is the kind of operational track record critical infrastructure needs — and almost no other chain can show.
Pulled directly from the DigiByte network every minute, bypassing all third-party APIs.
Governed by a strictly predictable monetary policy, DGB is hard-capped at 21 billion coins and operates on a fully transparent emission schedule with a fixed, mathematical distribution.
Issue custom digital assets natively on the DigiByte network, from tokens and stablecoins to identity records. Every asset settles in 15 seconds and is secured by a global proof-of-work consensus.
Fungible token, collectible, certificate, voucher — anything mintable on a UTXO base layer.
Set name, supply, divisibility and IPFS-anchored metadata so wallets and explorers can render it natively.
Pay a few sats of DGB in fees, broadcast the transaction and the asset is live across the network.
Transfer to any DGB address. Embeds in DigiByte Mobile, DigiAssetX, web wallets and explorers out of the box.
Digi-ID relies on decentralized cryptographic signatures instead of traditional passwords, securing user identity without centralized brokers.
Traditional single sign-on relies on centralized data brokers. Digi-ID is entirely decentralized. Users authenticate by signing a unique challenge directly from their device, removing third-party servers from the process entirely.
No, holding cryptocurrency is optional. While many DigiByte wallets natively support Digi-ID, users can choose to use a standalone authenticator app designed exclusively for secure logins.
Developers can use our drop-in libraries for Node.js, PHP, Python, and Go, or install the native WordPress plugin. Full resources are located in the developer hub below.
Access a reliable, battle-tested RPC with fixed, predictable fee structures. DigiByte provides the foundation to deploy nodes in minutes and build on a genuinely decentralized network.
