Nano (ticker NANO) is a cryptocurrency built for fast, everyday payments with no fees attached. Each account on the network has its own blockchain, and a small proof-of-work task is used to prevent spam instead of making miners compete. The total supply is fixed at 100,000,000,000 coins, so no new Nano can ever be minted beyond that hard cap.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nano and how is it different from Bitcoin?
Nano (NANO) is a payment-focused cryptocurrency designed to be instant and fee-free, unlike Bitcoin, where transactions can take minutes and fees vary with network load. Instead of one shared blockchain, every Nano account has its own chain, which lets transfers settle almost immediately. It was created purely as digital money, not as a platform for apps or smart contracts.
How does Nano's consensus work?
Nano uses a proof-of-work component, but not the way Bitcoin does — there are no miners competing for rewards. Instead, a tiny PoW calculation is performed when a transaction is created, acting as a spam filter so flooding the network is costly. Agreement on transactions is reached through representatives voting on account balances, which keeps confirmations fast and lightweight.
How is Nano's supply and emission structured?
Nano has a hard cap of 100,000,000,000 coins, and that supply is fixed — there is no ongoing mining or staking emission. The original coins were distributed for free to anyone who completed captchas back when the network launched, which was a deliberate choice to avoid ICOs and pre-mines. This means no inflation from new coins entering circulation.
How can you store and use Nano?
Nano is stored in wallets that support the NANO ticker, including official desktop and mobile wallets listed on the project's site at nano.org. Sending and receiving is as simple as any other crypto: copy an address or scan a QR code, and transfers typically confirm in seconds with zero network fees. Before using it anywhere, it's worth checking the official site for the current list of recommended wallets and services.
