The Segregated Witness (SegWit) update has received lukewarm support thus far since it was announced on Litecoin on January 28th. Beyond Bitcoin: ‘Testbed’ for SegWit. After Bitcoin, the SegWit scaling update has now been introduced to Litecoin along with some other cryptocurrencies including Vertcoin, Groestlcoin, and Viacoin.
