DigiByte launched on January 10, 2014, older than Ethereum, older than most projects people call classics.
It wasn't built by a team of companies or backed by VCs.
@jaredctate went at it alone, a former US Senate Page who attended West Point, got involved with Bitcoin in 2012, and saw problems worth fixing. Bitcoin was too slow and not secure enough, so he decided to build something better.
@DigiByteCoin pioneered multi-algorithm mining, real-time difficulty adjustment, and DigiShield, technologies that dozens of other chains quietly borrowed later. It was also the first major chain to activate SegWit before Bitcoin itself did.
Tate went on to speak at MIT and Harvard about blockchain technology and wrote "Blockchain 2035: The Digital DNA of Internet 3.0." Over 12 years he put $500K of his own money into the project. A real "DigiMan" who built
$DGB into something that still outpaces projects launched a decade later.
