Nano is a 3rd generation cryptocurrency with zero fees, super quick transactions and high scalability. Each account is part of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), which results in lightweight nodes that requires no mining, thus very low environmental impact. These features makes Nano ideal for peer-to-peer transactions, donations and purchases in everyday life all around the world! Feel free to browse this page to know more about Nano, how it can be used and how to obtain it.
Simple Comparison
Coin | Fee | Speed [Sec] | Scalability [TPS] | Energy [Wh/Tx] |
---|---|---|---|---|
Nano | 0*1 | 0.3*3 | 100-1000*5 | 0.032*7 |
Bitcoin | Fee market*2 | 600-3600*4 | 10*6 | 950,000*8 |
Multipliers | Infinite | 2000-12000x | 10-100x | 1/30,000,000x |
*1 No mining, no fees.
*2 Typically around 0.1-1 USD/transaction but was $37 while the network was saturated. No upper limit and controlled by demand.
*3 Median time of sending from node A until detected confirmed and fully settled on node B. As of Jul 2019, node v19. PoW not included but that is mostly precalculated before sending.
*4 Depends on the fee. A high fee typically results in transactions to be cleared in 10min but with lower fee take 1h or more.
*5 Only limited by node hardware. 7000 TPS was done in early lab. No real test on mainnet has been made yet but will be as soon as planned protocol optimizations have been done. 100 TPS has already been seen on the network.
*6 Estimated hardcoded maximum allowed per block with Segwit.
*7 Mid 2018 value based on PoW needed for each tx. Reference: GTX1070 GPU at 100W + 100W computer.
*8 Mid 2018 value. Depends on hashrate which depends on market. Also depends of current tps.
The Green Choice
- A Vestas V164 wind turbine can power 400,000 nano transactions, per revolution! Enough to power 80,000 tx/sec
- 4 square meters of solar panels can power 7 tx/sec
- 1 nano tx is equivalent of the energy a 10W LED lamp uses in 11 sec
Test Nano
Without the need to own any nano you can try the power of fast and fee-less transactions on the real live network!
If you want to transact with your own nano you can easily create a wallet and obtain some free nano from any of the faucets found below.

Contribution
Do you want to add a link to your own project or you found something else? Just clone repo at Github , edit index.md and make a pull request. You can also contact me at Reddit or in the Nano Discord Server (just ask for Json).
Voting Representative
If you have a nano account you can help decentralize the network by choosing a representative other than the official reps that is default. Best is to choose someone you really trust. If you want you can choose This Node that has been running 24/7 since Feb 2018. I intend to keep it running for a long time and upgrade hardware when necessary! Graphical stats of this monitor here.
Donations
It takes some effort to maintaining this content. If you want to contribute to this project then any small donation is always appreciated!
