Even though a lot of causal crypto enthusiasts may not have heard of DigiByte (DGB), the cryptocurrency is touted to be one of the most promising financial prospects of 2020. Founded in 2014 by Jared Tate, what makes Digibyte so unique is the fact that it is completely decentralized and offers tx speeds that are much higher than many of its digital counterparts. For example, it is nearly 40 times faster when compared to BTC because of its amazing block times.
Technically speaking, Digibyte was the first blockchain platform to successfully implement the Segregated Witness (SegWit) protocol that allows tx confirmation data to be maintained separately from their associated block info. This allows Digibyte to process transactions at an extremely high rate without compromising on the security side of things (even in the slightest). The ultimate goal of DigiByte is to create a global payment system accessible to people around the world.
