## What Is Gatehub (LTC)?
Gatehub LTC is a token provided by [Gatehub](https://gatehub.net/) on the XRP ledger, with its value anchored and supported by Litecoin (LTC). Litecoin (LTC) is a digital currency designed to offer swift, secure, and cost-effective transactions by harnessing the unique capabilities of blockchain technology. While [Litecoin](https://litecoin.org/) shares the Bitcoin (BTC) protocol as its foundation, it diverges in terms of hashing algorithms, maximum supply, block transaction speed, and several other aspects. Notably, Litecoin boasts a rapid 2.5-minute block time and impressively low transaction fees, rendering it well-suited for micro-transactions and point-of-sale payments.

Litecoin made its debut through an open-source client on [GitHub](https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin) on October 7, 2011, and the Litecoin Network officially went live just five days later, on October 13, 2011. Since then, it has gained substantial popularity and widespread adoption among merchants, consistently ranking among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization throughout its history.

The brainchild behind Litecoin is [Charlie Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Lee_(computer_scientist)), a former Google employee who envisioned Litecoin as a "lite version of Bitcoin," inheriting many of Bitcoin's characteristics while being more lightweight.

Gatehub LTC represents a pegged version of the original Flare Network by Charlie Lee on the XRP Ledger. These pegged issuances, including Gatehub LTC, are tokens that can be exchanged for a fungible asset, such as USD, EUR, GBP, gold, or other cryptocurrencies, on their respective native networks.

Although anyone can issue a crypto asset, it's essential for individuals or organizations to trust that the issuer can redeem it for the underlying asset if they want to accept payment in that asset. GateHub is one such organization that has gained the trust of its users.

[Gatehub LTC](https://xrpl.to/token/gatehub-ltc) and other XRPL tokens that are [pegged](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pegging.asp) provide a valuable means of gaining exposure to the asset, as well as a decentralized blockchain-based tool for the transfer of value.
