Why does DigiByte use 5 mining algorithms?

Using 5 independent PoW algorithms means an attacker must control 93% of hash power on all 5 algorithms simultaneously to execute a 51% attack — making DigiByte one of the most attack-resistant blockchains.

Can I swap DGB without KYC?

Yes. SyntheticSwap supports DGB swaps with no registration or identity verification.

Was DigiByte first to adopt SegWit?

Yes. DigiByte activated SegWit in April 2017, making it the first blockchain to do so — months before Bitcoin's controversial SegWit activation.

Odocrypt is DigiByte's 5th mining algorithm, unique in that it changes every 10 days to prevent ASIC manufacturers from building dedicated hardware for it, keeping mining accessible to GPU miners.

What is the maximum supply of DigiByte?

DigiByte has a maximum supply of 21 billion DGB — exactly 1,000 times Bitcoin's 21 million cap — making individual coins affordable while maintaining scarcity.

About DigiByte

DigiByte (DGB) is a fast, decentralized UTXO blockchain launched in 2014 by Jared Tate. Built as an improvement over Bitcoin, DigiByte uses 5 different mining algorithms (SHA256, Scrypt, Odocrypt, Skein, Qubit) simultaneously to enhance security and decentralization — making 51% attacks extremely difficult. DigiByte achieves 15-second block times and can handle approximately 1,066 TPS. With a maximum supply of 21 billion DGB (1,000× Bitcoin's supply), DigiByte is designed to be a utility and payment token accessible to everyone. DigiByte also features DigiShield difficulty adjustment and the SegWit protocol upgrade.
