LiteDAG ($LDG) has been listed on SafeTrade!

LiteDAG is a community-driven cryptocurrency protocol that launched its mainnet in August 2025, with development beginning in November 2023. The project grew out of Virel (VRL) after Virel's lead developer became unable to continue the project. A group of community members and developers stepped up, forked the codebase, and relaunched it as LiteDAG. This origin explains both the 1:1 snapshot migration of roughly 196.4M LDG from Virel at genesis and the project's no-insiders, no-VC character.
 

The MiniDAG Idea

LiteDAG describes itself as the world's first MiniDAG - a system that simulates a Directed Acyclic Graph on a linear blockchain. Each block stores references to the last N block hashes, and when a valid side block is detected, it is included and rewarded rather than discarded. Chain order is established as soon as a block is found, giving the network fast finality without the data overhead of a full BlockDAG structure.
 

Technical Highlights

• RandomLiteDAG PoW is a memory-hard algorithm designed to keep consumer CPUs competitive against ASICs, FPGAs, and GPUs

• Merge mining shares hashrate with partner chains, boosting security without splitting mining power

• Hybrid PoW/PoS means both miners and stakers participate in block production and earn rewards

• The codebase was written from scratch in Go, roughly 17,000 audited lines with no forked runtime dependencies

Tokenomics

Block rewards start at 20 LDG per block with a 15-second block time, producing around 115,200 LDG per day. Rather than sudden halvings, the reward drops by 10% every 91 days until it hits a permanent floor of 1 LDG per block (about 2.1M per year). Each block reward is split 50% to the miner, 40% to the staker, and 10% to the treasury. If no staker is active, that share is burned. There was no ICO, no VC funding, and no insider allocation.
 

Roadmap

Over the past two years the team has shipped ASIC-resistant PoW, merge mining, MiniDAG consensus, a block explorer, a web wallet, a GUI wallet for Linux and Windows, and hybrid staking. An Android wallet is currently in progress, with smart contracts research and quantum resistance planned further out.
