“Halving” is on the way for Litecoin
Since the beginning of 2019, Litecoin has been sustainably recovering from its losses due to inside and outside factors.
Therefore, LTC’s Hash Rate has also been increasing since December 2018, and this is an indicator that miners are contributing to the network due to higher prices.

We still have a lot of work ahead of us. Need to make sure the tech is solid and come up with a plan to test everything and safely upgrade the Litecoin network. When we have a solid plan, we will write up a Litecoin Improvement Proposal (LIP) for the community to critique.
