The Lite.IM team launched the Litecoin service for the first time on Telegram's popular messaging application. All a user needs to do is open his website at https://www.lite.im/ and follow the instructions to type in a phone number. After that, you will receive a text message asking you to follow the link that opens a conversation with the Lite.IM bot on the platform.
During the launch of the Telegram service in August, Charlie Lee had invited the crypto community to focus more on the adoption of encryption during the current bear market. His words were in reference to the new Lite.IM Telegram service.
Zulu Republic Team, the creators of Lite.IM, said this about the launch of Telegram.
From the first day of the Zulu Republic, we have been guided by a vision of how the world might look if the founding ideals of the cryptocurrency revolution were actually realized …
Today we bring this vision a step closer to reality by announcing lite.im, a new project by the Republic of Zulu which aims to expand access to cryptocurrency to a wider population than ever before.
Lite.im offers Litecoin services to anyone who also has a basic mobile phone, regardless of whether or not he has access to the Internet.
With a simple Telegram or SMS message, lite.im users will be able to interact with the Litecoin blockchain, sending and receiving funds from anywhere in the world where a cell phone signal can be found.
