DigiByte (DGB) is a scalability- and security-focused blockchain network that aims to function as a platform for decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. Founded in 2013, it is one of the longest-running blockchain networks and operates as an open-source project designed to facilitate mainstream use and adoption of blockchain technology.

DigiByte uses a three-tiered blockchain architecture that consists of an application layer upon which DigiByte DApps operate, a public ledger layer maintained by DigiByte, and a network of nodes that work to secure the DigiByte network and validate transactions.

The long tenure of DigiByte within the blockchain industry has resulted in several major platform and feature launches. Relatively recent additions to the DigiByte project have resulted in the launch of DigiByte Digiassets, which can be used by developers and enterprises to tokenize real-world assets such as securities and precious metals, as well as legal documents and deeds. #DGB $DGB
