Nano Guide

Understanding Nano Cryptocurrency

This guide will help you understand what Nano is, how it works, and how to use it on our platform. Whether you're new to cryptocurrencies or an experienced user, you'll find valuable information here.

What is Nano?

Nano is a digital currency designed to provide fast and fee-less transactions. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, Nano doesn't rely on mining or staking, making it extremely energy efficient. Its unique block-lattice architecture allows each account to have its own blockchain, enabling near-instant transaction confirmations.

Key Features of Nano:

Fee-less Transactions: Send any amount of Nano without paying transaction fees.
Near-Instant Speed: Transactions are typically confirmed within less than a second.
Energy Efficiency: Nano uses minimal energy compared to proof-of-work cryptocurrencies.
Scalability: The network can handle high transaction volumes.
Decentralization: Nano operates on a distributed network of nodes, ensuring no single point of failure.

How Nano Works:

Nano uses a unique block-lattice structure where each account has its own blockchain. When a transaction occurs:

The sender creates a "send" block on their blockchain.
The receiver creates a corresponding "receive" block on their blockchain.
The network validates these blocks through a consensus mechanism called Open Representative Voting (ORV).

This architecture allows transactions to be processed independently, resulting in high throughput and minimal latency.
