Nimiq is the first open source and browser-based blockchain in the world. The Nimiq platform is built on top of the Nimiq Blockchain. The platform uses the NIM cryptocurrency token for transacting, and calls its minimum unit of NIM a Luna (100,000 Luna = 1 NIM). The Nimiq cryptocurrency wallet allows Nimiq users to run a Nimiq Node in their browser, synchronizing with the Nimiq network and then be ready to send and receive payments in seconds.
