Introduction to Nimiq (NIM)
Nimiq is "Crypto for Humans": The world's first browser-centric blockchain payment protocol, maximizing usability and scalability without compromising on decentralization. NIM is a native token that runs on the Nimiq blockchain and is used as the payment coin of the Nimiq ecosystem. It's designed for fast, easy and low-cost online and point-of-sale payments as simple as PayPal, but with the permissionless and decentralized properties of a true cryptocurrency. With an open-source and free software suite of payment applications, NIM offers the tools to facilitate true peer-to-peer payments not only in e-commerce but also in brick-and-mortar stores with the lowest, installation-free barrier to entry in the industry.
