### Supported Chains

| Chain        | Symbol | Description                                                                  |
| ------------ | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Bitcoin**  | ₿ BTC  | The original decentralized cryptocurrency, secured by SHA-256 PoW consensus. |
| **Litecoin** | Ł LTC  | A "silver to Bitcoin’s gold" — faster block times and Scrypt-based mining.   |
| **Dogecoin** | Ð DOGE | Originally a meme coin, now widely used for microtransactions and tipping.   |

These chains are **UTXO-based**, meaning transactions are structured differently than EVM chains (e.g., Ethereum), and require specific handling for signing and address generation.
