What is the block time of the Litecoin blockchain?

The target block time of the Litecoin blockchain is 2.5 minutes.

Block time describes the intended average interval between newly mined blocks. Litecoin was designed to produce blocks four times as often as Bitcoin: Litecoin targets 2.5 minutes, while Bitcoin targets 10 minutes. This can allow transactions to receive initial confirmations more quickly, although actual timing varies because mining is probabilistic.

Litecoin was released in 2011 by Charlie Lee as a source-code fork of Bitcoin. It uses the Scrypt proof-of-work hashing algorithm rather than Bitcoin’s SHA-256, and its maximum supply is 84 million coins—four times Bitcoin’s 21-million limit.

The figure is a target, not a guarantee that every block arrives exactly 150 seconds after the previous one. Litecoin’s difficulty-adjustment system helps keep production near that average as mining power changes. The 10-minute figure belongs to Bitcoin, while Dogecoin is commonly associated with a one-minute block time.
