Litecoin Difficulty Chart
The Litecoin difficulty chart plots historical difficulty retargets and the current LTC difficulty target. Higher difficulty means more hashes are required to find the next block.

What is Litecoin difficulty?
Litecoin mining difficulty measures how hard it is to find the next valid block hash. The network retargets difficulty every 2,016 blocks (~two weeks) to keep average block times near 150 seconds.
When more hashrate joins the network, difficulty rises so blocks are not found too quickly. When miners leave, difficulty falls. Use our LTC mining calculator to see how difficulty and price affect your daily profit.
Litecoin difficulty FAQ
Direct answers about LTC difficulty, what moves it, and what it means for mining returns - figures update with live CoinWarz data.
What is Litecoin mining difficulty?
Litecoin mining difficulty measures how much work is required to find a valid LTC block. It is a dimensionless number - currently about 98.78M on CoinWarz - that the network raises or lowers so blocks keep arriving roughly every 2 minutes 30 seconds regardless of how much Scrypt hashpower is online.
What is the current LTC difficulty?
LTC difficulty is approximately 98.78M in the latest CoinWarz snapshot. That is up about 3% over the last 30 days. The chart and daily history table on this page track every recorded change.
How often does Litecoin difficulty change?
Litecoin retargets automatically to hold its 2 minutes 30 seconds block time target. When Scrypt miners join the network blocks come in early and difficulty rises; when they leave, blocks slow and difficulty falls. The daily history below shows the realised pace of those adjustments rather than a fixed calendar schedule.
Does higher LTC difficulty mean lower mining profit?
Yes, all else equal. Your share of LTC block rewards is your hashrate divided by total network hashrate, so a difficulty increase cuts the coins you mine per day at the same hashrate. Whether profit falls depends on whether the LTC price moves with it - the estimate on this page applies today's difficulty and price to your own hardware.
How are Litecoin difficulty and hashrate related?
They move together. Network hashrate is estimated from difficulty and observed block times, so a sustained rise in Scrypt hashpower shows up as higher difficulty within a few retargets. Compare both on the Litecoin hashrate chart to see whether difficulty is catching up to hashpower or lagging behind it.
