The project was created as an upgrade of Bitcoin. There are not many differences, but some of them are very significant.

We’re crowdfunding for atomic swaps in Nexus Wallet, through basicswapdex. The idea is to have a something similar to shapeshift or changenow inside the app, but in a decentralised and non-kyc private way. 

Basicswapdex supports MWEB swaps, and all donations are tax deductible as the Litecoin Foundation is a 501(c)3. And donations are matched by Litecoin Creator Charlie Lee.
