summary
Litecoin aims to add MimbleWimble privacy via extension blocks, after evaluating confidential transactions that were initially ~20× larger but recently reduced toward ~3× size; the team is collaborating with Beam on design and implementation and refuses to rush. The project also owns part of WEG Bank in Germany and explores crypto/fiat merged accounts, watches custody products like Casa and interest platforms (BlockFi, Celsius), and prioritizes fungibility over cosmetics.
