OKX will list DigiByte (DGB) on May 7th

OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is set to list DigiByte (DGB) on May 7th, expanding its offerings to include the renowned multi-algorithm cryptocurrency.

As one of the oldest and most recognized cryptocurrencies, DigiByte is a flagship project in the blockchain industry. It is a secure, efficient, and scalable cryptocurrency that has been a mainstay in the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap for a considerable period.

Those who prefer to purchase DGB in U.S. dollars can do so on-ramp at a select few exchanges, while the majority of platforms facilitate trading in cryptocurrency pairs.

DigiByte is a platform for asset creation and open-source projects that began as a fork of Bitcoin in January 2014. The project focused on increasing the security, capacity, and transaction speed of the original Bitcoin blockchain. Introducing five different algorithms for mining, DigiByte provides a multi-faceted approach to improve upon Bitcoin’s framework.

This multi-algorithm structure is designed to enhance the network's security features. The operational structure of DigiByte is composed of three layers: the core protocol with nodes that relay transactions, a public ledger, and a smart contract platform termed the “App Store”. This layered architecture enables DigiByte to offer a robust platform for the development and execution of DApps, digital assets, and smart contracts, emphasizing enhanced security through its multi-algorithm approach.

The native cryptocurrency of the DigiByte blockchain is DGB, which serves as the primary medium of exchange within the network. DGB is used for transaction fees, which are paid to miners for blockchain validation services. The introduction of DigiAssets, a platform for launching digital assets and DApps that uses DGB as its native token, represents an expansion of DigiByte’s functionality, catering to developers interested in deploying digital assets and smart contracts. Governance on the DigiByte network operates voluntarily, reflecting its commitment to maintaining an open-source, publicly accessible network.
