DNS seeds are one of the methods used to find initial peers for Litecoin Core and SPV wallets like Litewallet.

testnet-seed.litecointools.comSeeding is provided by the litecoin-seeder, which crawls for available Litecoin Nodes and exposes a list of reliable nodes via a built-in DNS server. The litecoin-seeder can also filter via services provided by a node, such as `NODE_WITNESS` (0x8) or `NODE_MWEB` (0x1000000).
Querying can be done via a nslookup. Example provided below:
$ nslookup dnsseed.thrasher.io
