As mentioned, Litecoin uses a code very similar to the one used for Bitcoin. But Bitcoin's participants, known as "miners," compete with each other using specialized computer equipment to be the first to discover new blocks. Unlike this proof-of-work consensus, LTC incorporates the Scrypt proof-of-work algorithm. As a result, it makes it possible to issue cryptocurrencies with consumer-facing hardware.
