Litecoin halving is similar to that of Bitcoin, happening every four years. Here, the amount of Litecoin awarded to miners is cut in half, allowing less Litecoin to enter circulation over time and preventing inflation.

Litecoin’s initial block reward started with 50 LTC. Mining rewards have been reduced since then, first to 25 LTC on Aug. 25, 2015, and then to 12.5 LTC on Aug. 5, 2019. The last Litecoin halving in August 2023 set miner rewards at a current 6.25 LTC.
