Nimiq

Nimiq is a Blockchain Ecosystem for payments designed to make cryptocurrencies easy to use for everyone without compromising decentralization.

Designed with mass adoption in mind: NIM is the easiest crypto to use. Buy/sell from a bank account, swap for BTC, manage and stake directly with no software download, no installation, no plugin, no personal data required. Just open a website and it works! Safe and true to the spirit of crypto: 100% non-custodial. Your keys – your coins.

Nimiq invented the fiat-crypto atomic swap! Atomic swaps between crypto like NIM and (ETH coming soon) and fiat currencies like EUR (USD next) with no registration or sign-up are now possible. Earned swap fees are converted to NIM and held to create scarcity.

Performance and Scalability: We expect ~1000 TPS and finality in one second, pushing 2.0 to the theoretical limits of single chain blockchain protocols.

Nimiq’s “super-halving”: The transition to Nimiq 2.0 will reduce the emission rate from currently ~3000 NIM to only ~525 NIM per minute.
