Overview of Litecoin
Litecoin is a cryptocurrency developed by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer and MIT graduate.
Launched in October 2011, Litecoin was one of the first cryptocurrencies to launch after Bitcoin. It is designed to complement Bitcoin, but solve some of the issues that faced Bitcoin in serving as a global digital payment system – such as fees and transaction times.
In the last 8 years its creator, Lee, has become a leading figure in the industry even collaborating with other crypto experts to create Magical Crypto Friends. (A show on cryptocurrency news where he is known as Chikun).

How do I get a Litecoin Wallet?
There are two ways to create a Litecoin (LTC) Wallet:
- When you select your LTC trading pair on the Luno Exchange, and place an order, a new LTC Wallet will automatically be created for you which will be used to store your newly traded LTC.
- Another way to create an LTC wallet is by manually adding it to your account.
