Altcoin - "alternative coin" - is any kind of digital currency other than Bitcoin. Since the launch of Bitcoin, the world's first digital currency, many altcoins (as well as supporting blockchains) have been created. Altcoin digital currencies share many similarities to Bitcoin, but consistently and have significant differences. There are about 20,000 altcoins, and this number is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Altcoins often develop Bitcoin features. Ethereum, currently the most widely used blockchain, supports digital contracts and separate applications where Bitcoin does not. Altcoins are also often created to cater to the needs of different users. The Litecoin blockchain, for example, can process payments quarterly for the duration of Bitcoin.
While asset-backed and crypto-collateralized stablecoins are important components of the digital economy, algorithmically driven assets such as Ampleforth are developing with a more decentralised approach that is less influenced by conventional financial procedures.

This is accomplished by a rebasing mechanism, which changes the supply of AMPL on a daily basis, offering better price stability than fixed-supply cryptocurrencies.
