What is Nano?

Nano is a cryptocurrency established in December 2014, originally named RailBlocks. It employs a block-lattice data structure and a unique consensus algorithm called Open Representative Voting, which functions similarly to Proof of Stake without the inflationary rewards or locking of its native currency, XNO. Designed for efficiency, it supports low-power hardware and aims to facilitate everyday transactions with zero fees and minimal latency.

The architecture of Nano allows for scalability, as it utilizes individual blockchains for each account to streamline transaction processes and enhance security. This approach not only prevents access issues common in traditional blockchain systems but also maintains a decentralized network. The project focuses on developing its capabilities further while providing a high transaction throughput without the need for high-power mining resources.
