A pure and powerful JavaScript Litecoin library.
Litecoin is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Litecoin network allows for highly resilient litecoin infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement litecoin apps and services.
