Nimiq is a blockchain project focused on creating a simple, secure, and censorship-resistant payment ecosystem. Its mission is to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical knowledge. The project's unique "browser-first" approach allows users to connect directly to the blockchain with just a web browser, eliminating the need for complex software installations. Originally launched with a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm, Nimiq has been transitioning to a new Proof-of-Stake algorithm called "Albatross," designed to significantly increase transaction speed and energy efficiency. The ecosystem is supported by the Nimiq Foundation, which aims to foster the development and adoption of the Nimiq protocol.
