Green cryptocurrencies for the environment: Nano (XNO)
With the motto “no fuss, no fees, no waiting” and uniquely designed to provide simple peer-to-peer value transfer, Nano provides individuals with the most efficient and accessible digital money possible, connecting them to the global economy with minimal impact. Nano leverages the Open Representative Voting (ORV) consensus mechanism that expands on other designs by providing security with extreme efficiency using delegated, weight-based voting, allowing consensus to be achieved with minimal resource usage. Nano is able to offer fast and commission-free transactions thanks to the Block Lattice, a data structure where all accounts have their own Blockchain, rather than compete with the others on a central Blockchain.
Consensus is generated through voting representative, where accounts can freely choose their representative at any time, thus providing more control for users to decide who validate transactions. There are three main reasons Nano is fast and energy-efficient compared to other decentralised currencies:
- the distribution method
- the lack of transaction fees
- the ledger’s design and consensus mechanism for securing transactions.
The energy usage of a single Nano transaction has been calculated as low as 0.111Wh. 2 seconds of Bitcoin transactions use more energy than 65 million Nano transactions do.
In November 2018, the Nano Foundation announced that Nano has been selected as an official “Gold Label Project” by Binance Info.
