What blockchains can be found on WhiteBIT?

Blockchain is a data register that contains all information about the transactions carried out within the network. All transaction data remains registered and cannot be changed. Bitcoin is the most famous blockchain nowadays. The technologies, however, do not stand still, and the emergence of alternatives is pretty natural.

Let’s look at the characteristics of the cryptocurrencies that you can find on our exchange. Here’s what you should pay attention to when considering a particular blockchain:

• The consensus algorithm is a mechanism used to achieve agreement on the principles of operation within the network.
• Emission refers to how quickly new coins are released.
• Transaction fees.

You can find information about the deposit and withdrawal fees, as well as the amount of the minimum deposit and the minimum withdrawal amount, on the Fees page.

BTC

Bitcoin is the world’s first cryptocurrency, whose blockchain has become the gold standard for various projects operating nowadays. However, low transaction speed caused by the quantitative growth of transactions is one of the main problems that Bitcoin enthusiasts face. A distinctive feature of Bitcoin is that the network is decentralized; no authorities can make serious decisions about the network optimization fast. It is done by the community of users who store, sell, mine, and buy cryptocurrency, thereby ensuring the network’s life.
