(ANB)

None is a standalone crypto asset traded under the ticker ANB. Its headline difference from many other coins is a fixed maximum supply of 777.7 billion ANB — a limit written into the protocol, unlike tokens that can be minted without restriction. Beyond that, it works like most cryptocurrencies: peer-to-peer transfers recorded on a shared public ledger.

There's no central company or bank keeping the books — instead, a distributed network of nodes verifies every transaction and appends it to a public blockchain, which is what makes double-spending practically impossible. The exact consensus mechanism (proof-of-stake, proof-of-work, or another variant) depends on the chain the project is built on, so the official documentation is the best source for deep technical specs.

ANB has a hard cap of 777,700,000,000 coins — the absolute maximum that will ever be created, enforced by the protocol itself. Once that ceiling is reached, no new coins can be minted, so the total supply is fully predictable from day one. It's the same scarcity principle Bitcoin made famous with its 21 million coin limit, just on a much larger scale.

ANB is stored in a cryptocurrency wallet — either a software wallet (a mobile app or browser extension) for everyday convenience, or a hardware wallet for maximum security, provided the wallet supports the coin. Sending and receiving is as simple as sharing your wallet address and confirming the transaction in the app. You can also keep ANB on an exchange that lists it, but with self-custody only you hold the private keys, which is generally considered the safer option.
