In this episode of Products With Purpose, Eli spoke with George Coxon Director of the Nano Foundation

Nano is the world's most efficient decentralized currency with 0 fees, network settlements in av. 0.2s and a negligible carbon footprint. It is a new currency that happens to be digital. Like the cash in your pocket, choosing to transact with Nano ensures that 100% of the value is transferred directly to the recipient.

The Nano Foundation is a not-for-profit organization and alongside other institutions, businesses and advocates encourage the growth and usability of a secure and decentralized payment network.

A background in Evolutionary Anthropology amplified George’s fascination with social behaviors, giving her a broad understanding of the ways by which efficient, decentralized digital money can empower the underbanked by offering a sustainable and fair medium of exchange anywhere on the planet.

Some of the highlights from this episode:

  • How George went from anthropology in Madagascar to champion of Nano
  • How Nano came to exist and what makes it unique
  • Solving the carbon footprint issues of crypto currencies
  • The potential future of a global currency
