Litecoin was created in 2011 by a Google employee Charlie Lee. Currently, this cryptocurrency is one of the largest by market capitalization. Litecoin was created as one of the first forks of the Bitcoin blockchain. Also, it is safe to say that Litecoin is one of the first altcoins. While Bitcoin is based on SHA-256 algorithm, Litecoin utilizes a lighter scrypt algorithm.
Filecoin is a decentralized storage system that aims to “store humanity’s most important information.” The project raised $205 million in an initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017, and initially planned a launch date for mid-2019. However, the launch date for the Filecoin mainnet was pushed back until block 148,888, which is expected in mid-October 2020.
Dash was launched in 2014 and changed several names before becoming Dash as we know it today. The initial goal of the project was to create a cryptocurrency network which would operate faster and cheaper than Bitcoin and would be capable to maintain more privacy. Holders of large amounts of Dash have different privileges (Instant Send, Private Send, etc).
Dash is an open-source project. It has its own blockchain. The currency is supported by many crypto wallets and it has gained significant market capitalization. Another great achievement is its numerous partnerships including cooperations with Western Union, web stores, etc.
