What is DigiByte?

DigiByte (DGB) is a platform for creating assets and an open source blockchain. It was created in October 2013, and in January 2014, the first block of its DGB token was mined as a fork of Bitcoin (BTC).

DigiByte has been in existence for a long time as a public blockchain and cryptocurrency. To enhance security, it employs five different algorithms, and its original goal was to improve on the security, capacity, and transaction speed of the Bitcoin blockchain.

DigiByte is made up of three layers, which include a public ledger, a smart contract “App Store,” and the core protocol, with nodes that communicate to transmit transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Similar to Bitcoin, DigiByte uses a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus design and UTXO transaction scheme. However, DigiByte deploys five rotating mining algorithms compared to Bitcoin’s single SHA-256 algorithm. Block times within DigiByte are also only 15 seconds, compared to 10 minutes in Bitcoin.

Yes DigiByte is a fork of the Bitcoin protocol and changes some of the core components of Bitcoin to achieve faster transaction processing and a unique mining framework.

Moreover, DigiByte underwent four separate hard forks in the early years of its existence, primarily to optimize the mining system. All of the following hard forks below occurred between 2014 and 2015. The four hard forks and their general upgrades include:

  1. DigiShield
  2. MultiAlgo
  3. MultiShield
  4. DigiSpeed

DigiShield recalculates the mining difficulty between each block, which was designed to mitigate low difficulty mining across ‘multi-pools’ of miners.

MultiAlgo added the multi-algorithm mining of DigiByte designed to accommodate the various forms of mining including GPU, CPU, and specialized hardware such as ASICs. The goal is that by using more mining algorithms, more users are capable of mining on the network, increasing decentralization. The original single mining algorithm on DigiByte was Scrypt but now includes SHA-256, Qubit, Groestl, and Skein.

MultiShield activated DigiShield across all five of the mining algorithms in December 2014.

DigiSpeed reduced the block times by 50 percent — to 15 seconds — and also doubles the block size every two years. Currently, DigitByte can process roughly 560 transactions per second, which is set to increase every two years but will come at the expense of more cumbersome block storage for smaller nodes in the network.

DigiByte has a capped supply of 21 billion DGB, which will be reached in 2035. The supply of DGB follows a continuously decreasing emission curve, and a 0.5 percent pre-mine was allocated to the initial project developers.

When you first buy crypto, you’re issued with two keys: public and private.

  • A public key serves as an address that can be shared with other parties to perform transactions.
  • A private key represents a randomly generated number that signs transactions and protects your assets from malicious attacks. If it gets compromised or lost, you won’t be able to access your cryptocurrency wallet to spend, withdraw, or transfer your cryptos.

To safeguard and keep track of your keys, you can use online or offline wallets. Online wallets, also known as hot wallets, store private keys on systems or devices that are connected to the internet. Hot wallets are easy and convenient to use, however, they come with several drawbacks. Besides being susceptible to attacks and a honeypot for hackers, with hot wallets, the custody of private keys is often entrusted to a third party such as a crypto exchange, which means you never have full control over your funds. The safer choice are specialized hardware wallets that store private keys offline. Stealing private keys from a hardware wallet would require physical access to the wallet and corresponding PIN or the recovery phrase. What’s more, with hardware wallet, you don’t need to rely on third party custodians.

Ledger Nano is the industry-leading hardware wallet. With more than five million customers, Ledger Nano wallets have several layers of security that protect private keys, and hence your assets:

  • Your private keys are stored on secure element chips.
  • A PIN code and a 24-word recovery phrase are required to access the wallet.
  • Ledger Nano hardware wallets have been built using highly durable materials for protection against physical damage.

With full isolation between private keys and your computer/mobile, Ledger Nano cryptocurrency wallets keep your keys secure and give you complete control over your tokens.
