DigiByte is an open-source, global community-driven project that is volunteer-based and has never been funded through an ICO or similar event. Real-time difficulty adjustment and five different cryptographic algorithms (Scrypt, Sha256, Qubit, Skein and Odocrypt) ensure the prevention of malicious mining centralisation. The DigiByte blockchain consists of three layers that provide security, the infrastructure of the network and ensure communications. DGB is DigiByte’s native coin which is used as a store of value and a medium of exchange.
