Decentralized finance, or DeFi, is a subset of crypto-currencies that uses the blockchain to create peer-to-peer financial systems, doing away with central institutions such as banks or brokers.

Cryptomine and AI data center Mawson Infrastructure Group has signed a 64MW digital colocation customer agreement with Canaan ...

The central change lies within the algorithms. Litecoin uses crypt while Bitcoin’s algorithm is based on SHA-256. The S-crypt algorithm makes extracting Litecoin far faster in generating a block ...

The PoW consensus mechanism used by Bitcoin relies on the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, which requires significant computational power to solve. This energy-intensive process makes it extremely ...

Scrypt is a memory-intensive algorithm that requires less specialist mining gear than Bitcoin’s SHA-256 algorithm. LTC also has a larger supply than BTC, with a maximum of 84 million coins to ...
