About Nimiq

Nimiq (NIM) is a browser-based cryptocurrency launched in 2018, designed to make crypto payments simple and accessible for everyday users. Unlike most blockchain networks, Nimiq requires no installation and lets anyone create a wallet and transact in under 30 seconds directly from a web browser. Its ecosystem features a built-in node for true decentralization, an in-wallet decentralized exchange supporting BTC, USDC, and USDT swaps, gas abstraction for stablecoin transactions, and a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism offering roughly 14% APY with one-second confirmation times and over 1,000 transactions per second.
