Jared Tate is the founder and creator of the DigiByte blockchain. DigiByte is a public, rapidly growing and highly decentralized 5-year-old blockchain. DigiBytes are digital assets that cannot be destroyed, counterfeited or hacked, making them ideal for protecting objects of value like currency, information, property or important digital data. DigiBytes can be sent over the DigiByte Blockchain and forever recorded on an immutable public ledger that is decentralized on thousands of computers across the planet. After 5 years of consistent, committed development, rapid community growth and new use cases, the DigiByte Blockchain has become the world's longest, fastest and most secure UTXO blockchain in existence. Jared has been involved with Bitcoin since 2012. In the Fall of 2013, he decided to make several improvements to the Bitcoin core protocol which culminated in the launch of DigiByte on January 10th, 2014. DigiByte has pioneered many blockchain enhancements such has DigiShield, MultiShield & MultiAlgo which have all now been implemented by many other blockchains. DigiByte was also the first major blockchain to adopt SegWit.
