Data snapshot: 2026-09-02 12:15 UTC.
DigiByte is a proof-of-work chain from 2014 that mines with five separate algorithms in parallel, so no single type of hardware can dominate the network — a deliberate answer to the mining concentration that affects single-algorithm coins. It has no premine, no ICO and no company behind it, which its community treats as the point and which also means very little marketing. DigiByte is one of the older proof-of-work chains still running and has never had an initial coin sale or a foundation treasury, which its community treats as its defining characteristic. It mines with five separate algorithms in parallel, so no single class of mining hardware can dominate the network, and it targets fast blocks. Development is volunteer-driven and the ecosystem is small. On this map DGB is a small-cap whose liquidity is thin, which means its percentage moves should be read with the same caution as any lightly traded asset.
Why does DigiByte use five mining algorithms?
Splitting the block reward across five algorithms prevents any one type of mining hardware from controlling the network, spreading security across different mining communities.
Did DigiByte have a token sale?
No. It launched by mining with no pre-sale and no foundation allocation, which its community considers a core part of its identity.
Is DigiByte actively developed?
Development is community and volunteer-driven rather than funded by a company or treasury, which affects the pace of change.
How should a small bubble with strong colour be read?
Carefully. On thinly traded assets a large percentage move can result from relatively little trading, so it signals less than the same move on a large-cap.
Market cap decides how big a bubble is drawn, so rank is what places DGB on the map relative to the rest of its sector.
