About these developer resources
Litecoin.org is here to help you build with Litecoin with documentation on foundational concepts as well as the development stack. Plus there are tutorials to get you up and running.
-
Inspired by the Mozilla Developer Network
-
we thought Litecoin needed a place to house great developer content and resources.
-
Like our friends at Mozilla, everything here is open-source and ready for you to extend and improve.
Help us make litecoin.org better
