NFTs Coming to Litecoin (LTC)

Not to be left out, Litecoin (LTC) has announced a strategic foray into the NFT space. The global payment processing platform, via OmniLite, will make it possible for interested persons to create and manage NFTs on Litecoin (LTC).

OmniLite for Litecoin will help bring new possibilities to the Litecoin Foundation. Creating more use cases for digital assets. The introduction of NFTs to the Litecoin ecosystem is just one of such possibilities. With OmniLite, interested persons will be able to issue, create, and manage NFTs without leaving the Litecoin ecosystem.

Omni to OmniLite

The recently launched OmniLite platform is based on the initial Omni protocol, also known as Mastercoin. Bitcoin also made use of OmniLite as its secondary layer on its blockchain. Popular stablecoin Tether (USDT) also initially went live on Omni in 2014. Approximately three years later, USDT became an ERC-20 token, moving from Omni to Ethereum.

The recently launched OmniLite platform was created by the combined effort of both Omni and Litecoin developer Loshan. With OmniLite, Litecoin Foundation users will be able to create and manage assets on the LTC blockchain. Quite similar to Omni, which makes use of the Bitcoin network, OmniLite will operate using the OP_RETURN. This means that tokens generated on OmniLite will be an extension of Litecoin. Therefore, transactions using these tokens will be recorded on the LTC blockchain.
