OmniLite is based on the earlier Omni Protocol, which was known as Mastercoin. It was a secondary layer on the Bitcoin blockchain, where Bitcoin users were given the opportunity to create custom tokens.
Developed by Omni and Litecoin Developer Loshan, alongside the assistance of the Omni Foundation, OmniLite is an effort to allow users to create as well as manage assets on the Litecoin Blockchain.
OmniLite will use OP_RETURN to record token transactions on the Litecoin blockchain and supports wallet mode through Litecoin Omni, which is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS at the current time.
Additionally, the application programming interface (API) is also available.
