### What is Nano?

---

Nano's goal is to become _"a global currency with instantaneous transactions and zero fees over a secure, decentralized network."_
### What is Nano?

We've applied the philosophy of _"do one thing and do it well."_ We are focused on building the best medium for value exchange in the world.
Nano is a digital payment protocol designed to be accessible and lightweight, with a focus on removing inefficiencies present in other cryptocurrencies. With ultrafast transactions and zero fees on a secure, green and decentralized network, this makes Nano ideal for everyday transactions.

---

### Key Features

* Nano utilizes a novel [block-lattice](https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-node/wiki/Block-lattice) architecture, unlike conventional blockchains used in many other cryptocurrencies.
* The network requires minimal resources, no high-power mining hardware, and can process high transaction throughput.
* Offers instantaneous transactions with zero fees and unlimited scalability, making Nano an ideal solution for peer-to-peer transactions.
* As of August 2018, the Nano network has processed over twelve million blocks with an unpruned ledger size of only 4.6GB.

For more information, see [Nano.org](https://nano.org/) or read the [whitepaper](https://nano.org/en/whitepaper).
