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.
In the last 8 months, The Nano Foundation has moved to a completely volunteer-led operating model. This article will bring you along on our journey so far, what has led us towards this change in operating model, and our vision for the future.
