**APIs profiled:** 10

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network based on the Bitcoin protocol, offering faster block times (2.5 minutes) and lower transaction fees. It exposes a JSON-RPC interface via Litecoin Core for direct node interaction, a built-in unauthenticated REST interface for public blockchain queries, and a Litecoin Space block explorer REST and WebSocket API (mempool.space-compatible) for querying transactions, addresses, blocks, UTXO data, mempool state, and fee estimates.
