How secure is Litecoin for the transactions?

It's a decentralized cryptocurrency. So, miners can engage in the process of block validation. So, the litecoin network is very secure by the miners. Litecoin platform is very safe, and their developers take security issues very seriously. 

 

Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin deliberately designed to compromise security to increase transaction speed relative to Bitcoin. So, 84 million Litecoin will be mined over approximately the same time frame as 21 million Bitcoin. According to the records, Litecoin around creates new blocks in 2.5 minutes, and Bitcoin takes  10 minutes. Because blocks are made more rapidly with Litecoin than Bitcoin, it would be easier to reorganize Litecoin's historical records via a 51% attack than Bitcoin's. 

 

Creating the expectation Litecoin would handle smaller transactions requiring faster confirmation times that don't justify the use of Bitcoin's horsepower.

 

Transaction costs have varied dramatically over time with Bitcoin but have rarely been below $1. They are making the use of Bitcoin to finalize small retail transactions, the classic cup of coffee example, impractical.

 

Litecoin intends to lower costs enough to provide a crypto-native option for retail transactions like this. While being secure enough, merchants feel confident accepting it as a form of payment.
