Swap XNO: anonymous Nano swap

These are reference figures from our own rate feed, not quotes — every swap is re-priced across our liquidity partners at the moment you confirm, and the best receive amount wins. How that comparison works is on the methodology page.

Network

Nano

Nano abandons the shared blockchain. Each account has its own chain that only its owner can add to, and a transfer is a pair of entries — a send on one chain, a receive on the other — with representatives voting to settle any conflict. Because nothing has to be packed into a shared block, there is no block interval to wait for and settlement takes well under a second.

There are no fees at all. Not low fees: none. That is the design’s whole claim, and it is the property that makes Nano interesting as a way to move value rather than to hold it.

The honest counterpoint is spam. A network with no fees has no economic brake on transaction volume, and Nano has been flooded before — its answer is a small proof-of-work per transaction and prioritisation by account balance, which mitigates rather than removes the problem. The ledger is also fully public, so cheap and instant does not mean private.

• Before you send. A Nano address begins `nano_` and is 65 characters. It replaced the older `xrb_` prefix, and the same account works under either — but send to the `nano_` form your wallet shows you.
• Set a refund address. Funds go back there automatically if a swap cannot complete — a deposit below the minimum, or one arriving after the quote window closed. Without one, a refund needs a message to support instead. See refund handling.
• Nothing is held for you. Deposits are forwarded, not stored, and the data kept is the amount and the two addresses — purged once the swap finalizes. The full picture is on the privacy page.

The usual way to buy Nano is a centralized exchange: open an account, pass identity verification, link a bank account or a card, and pay in fiat currency. It works, and every step of it is recorded against your name — the purchase, the payment details and the address you withdraw to. If you already hold any other coin there is a shorter route: convert it into XNO here. A Nano swap needs no account and no verification, exchange processing is automatic once the deposit lands, and the XNO goes straight to a wallet you control, so you keep full control of the keys from the first minute.

What this site does not do is take a card or a bank transfer. There is no fiat on-ramp, by design, because the on-ramp is exactly the step that requires identity. If you hold nothing yet, buy something liquid on an exchange you are prepared to be verified at, withdraw it, and swap from there. The swap is the step with no account in it — the withdrawal before it still sits on a public chain under your name, which is Bitcoin anonymous explains.

Minimum amount

The live minimum amount of XNO for each pair is shown in the widget before you confirm. It moves with network conditions rather than being a fixed figure, and there is no maximum.

Network fee

The fee for delivering coins to your wallet address is already inside the receive amount. The one cost outside the quote is the transaction fee your own wallet pays to send the XNO deposit.

Exchange rate

XNO exchange rates are compared in real time across several partners when you enter the amount, and re-priced server-side the moment you confirm, so the rate you see is the rate the order is created with.

Processing time

A swap out of XNO runs once your XNO transaction to the deposit address has the network confirmations the partner requires. How many it waits for depends on the amount and on network congestion, so the tracking page shows the live count.

XNO is quotable against anything else we list — a wide range of digital assets is listed, and every supported coin can be swapped against every other, and the popular routes each have a page of their own.
