A Litecoin transaction is the process of sending Litecoin from one wallet to another using the recipient’s Litecoin address. Transactions are verified by miners and recorded on the public Litecoin blockchain.

2. How do I send Litecoin?
To send Litecoin, you need the recipient's Litecoin address. You create a digital signature to verify your identity, and then the transaction is broadcast to the network for validation.

3. How are Litecoin transactions confirmed?
After you send a Litecoin transaction, it is validated by miners through a process called mining. Once confirmed, the transaction is added to a new block on the blockchain.

4. How fast are Litecoin transactions compared to Bitcoin?
Litecoin transactions are typically faster than Bitcoin, with a block generation time of 2.5 minutes compared to Bitcoin’s 10 minutes. This results in quicker transaction processing and confirmations.

5. What is the role of miners in Litecoin transactions?
Miners validate Litecoin transactions by solving complex cryptographic problems. Once validated, the transaction is added to the next block on the Litecoin blockchain.

6. How are Litecoin transactions recorded?
Litecoin transactions are recorded on the decentralized Litecoin blockchain, a public ledger that stores all transaction data securely.

7. Why are Litecoin transactions considered low-cost?
Litecoin’s network is optimized for efficiency, resulting in lower transaction fees compared to other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This makes Litecoin ideal for fast, cost-effective transactions.
