Nano Foundation

Core Goals

The Nano Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation built by passionate volunteers following a collaboration model. We believe that making tangible change in the world is possible through grass-roots action and collective-effort.

Alongside other institutions, businesses and advocates, we build and encourage the growth and usability of a secure and decentralised payment network, nano (ticker: XNO, symbol: Ӿ).

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, nano stands out with a vision that is both unique and transformative: to establish a fee-free & sustainable currency that makes digital payments accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Protocol Development

With its ultra-efficient block-lattice design, the network is optimized to provide the fastest transaction speeds of any cryptocurrency.

Supporting Services

To actively participate in the creation and support of a robust ecosystem, with a focus on fostering adoption and integration of large and small-scale services.

Education and Resources

To help educate and inform people about nano and its use case as a global digital currency, by creating an accessible collection or resources and materials.
