The ecosystem targets anyone unfamiliar with blockchain technology, offering self-custodial asset swaps, built-in node functionality, and stablecoin transactions with automatic fee management. Users access the network through a fully web-based, client-side interface without downloading software or managing private keys manually.
How it works
Nimiq operates as a Layer 1 blockchain using a purpose-built Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism with Argon2d hashing.

A built-in node within each wallet directly connects users to the network, enabling decentralization without complex setup requirements.
