Banano is a 4th generation cryptocurrency that leverages Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology to offer instant, feeless transactions. It’s designed with a fun, meme-centric ethos, aiming to disrupt the "meme economy" with its potassium-rich digital asset. This cryptocurrency is edible in concept, aligning with its playful take on the crypto space, and literally grows on trees in its virtual Banano Republic.

The Banano project has been arround since 2018.

$BAN is the native digital currency of Banano, used within its ecosystem for transactions and community engagement activities such as tipping, airdrops, and participating in various games and events. It is intended to be fun and accessible, aiming to introduce cryptocurrency in a lighthearted manner.

$WBAN is a wrapped version of $BAN that lives across various EVM-compatible chains. The $WBAN token on this page is the one that lives on the Fantom network.

The primary purpose of $BAN is to serve as the currency of the Banano ecosystem, facilitating instant and feeless transactions. It's used to engage community members through games, tipping, and rewards, making cryptocurrency fun and approachable for newcomers.

Main use cases of $BAN include:
- Community Tipping: Frequent tipping among users on social platforms like Discord, Reddit, and Twitter.
- Participation in Games: Used as stakes and rewards in various Banano-themed games and events.
- Airdrops and Giveaways: Distributed through community engagements and contests.
- Wrapped Banano (wBAN): Used on various blockchains like Ethereum, Polygon, and BSC to participate in DeFi activities.

The value of $BAN is influenced by its utility within the Banano ecosystem, demand for the coin in community events, and its circulation on various cryptocurrency exchanges. Market factors such as community engagement, adoption rate, and the broader cryptocurrency market trends also play significant roles.

$BAN has a total supply of 1.91 billion coins. It is distributed through faucets, games, contests, and community giveaways, maintaining an emphasis on fair and fun distribution. The ongoing supply distribution involves community participation extensively, keeping with the project's ethos of inclusivity and engagement.

$BAN brings the novelty of the Block-Lettuce™ DAG architecture, enabling fast and feeless transactions. It is unique in its approach to combine cryptocurrency with fun and education, promoting widespread accessibility and ease of use through its mobile wallet, Kalium, and other community-driven projects.

Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, $BAN emphasizes fun, community, and accessibility. It uses a gamification approach to encourage non-crypto users to engage with digital currencies. Its unique MonKey feature, which generates a visual avatar from wallet addresses, adds a personalized touch that differentiates it from more serious cryptocurrency projects.

The Banano team comprises individuals with playful pseudonyms and roles such as "Chief Shitposting Orangutan" and "Gandalf level code wizard," reflecting the project's lighthearted nature. The team focuses on innovation and community engagement, driven by a mix of fun and technical expertise to keep the ecosystem lively and engaging.
