What a halving is
A halving is a rule built into Litecoin: every 840,000 blocks the reward for a new block is cut in half. It slows down the issue of new LTC until the maximum supply of 84 M LTC is reached.
How the date is estimated
The date is calculated from the number of blocks left and the average block time over the last 24 hours (~2.5 min). Blocks are found at a random pace, so the estimate shifts by a few days: the halving happens at block 3,360,000, not on a fixed date.
