The intuitive usability of the Nimiq Blockchain is following the fundamental idea which every commercial payment provider is following: Their product design shows crystal clear that a frictionless payment process is the most important value to customers, because only if it is so easy that it leaves you without any big question marks, you feel confident to trust their technology with your money in your daily life.
Cutting-edge Blockchain research and web technology streamlined to create an open payment protocol designed to lower multiple barriers of entry.
Installation-Free Native to the Web Platform. Written in Javascript ES6, communication via WebSockets + WebRTC.
Sync in Seconds Light clients first. To establish distributed consensus, the required Blockchain data is less than downloading a song.
Instant Transactions Off-chain transactions scale beyond paying for a coffee. They unleash micro transactions and atomic swaps for cross-chain compatibility.
Experts are independently and voluntarily contributing to the community. If no expert has rated the ICO, only ICO analyzer's results are used. Always research before investing as these ratings should not be taken as an investing guide of any kind.
Ratings and ICO analyzer results are being updated (re-calculated) every few hours.
