Bigger Amounts Transactions for a Small Fee

According to the latest facet, Litecoin network processed one of the largest transactions ever. A transaction of Ł1,159,005.90779568 that valued at ~$62M has been processed costing only Ł0.00922 ($0.5).

Though not the first time a transaction of this value has been processed but it is certainly worth noticing and as shared by Litecoin.com, “a perfect real-world example of the benefits of Litecoin and decentralized cryptocurrency in the global settlement and movement of money in the internet age.”

As accounted in the official explanation, the transaction has been a consolidation of funds from a few Legacy addresses to a new Segwit “M” address.

Apparently, four LTC transactions of 5,000 LTC each made up multiple inputs of 20,000 LTC. Though it is not known who is the owner, the transaction has been made by the previous richest address on the network. However, it is likely that it’s an exchange cold wallet who will get better security with this move.
