Feeless is a Nano cryptocurrency node, wallet, tools, and Rust crate. This is not the official project for Nano, only an implementation written in Rust. The official Nano node implementation lives here.
🚸 This is a work in progress. The API will probably change without notice until v0.2. 🚸
I decided to start this project as a personal adventure of understanding Nano. I give no promises about my future motivation to complete this project 🤐.
Please visit the documentation website for general information, features, installation, CLI usage and more.
Nano is digital money that significantly improves on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The main features of Nano are:
-
No transaction fees.
-
Extremely fast to send money—less than 1 second for 100% confirmation.
Bitcoin takes 10 minutes on average for ~80%1 confirmation. Nano is more asynchronous than Bitcoin—individual transactions are voted on separately from the rest of the network. -
Highly decentralized.
Using the Nakamoto coefficient measurement, it is more decentralized than Bitcoin2 3.
-
No inflation.
-
Green—Massively less energy use than Bitcoin.

Nano is also known as: Nano cryptocurrency, Nano coin, RaiBlocks.
