1. INTRODUCTION
There are currently more than 20,000 cryptocurrencies on the market and I -obviously- have not researched/tested each one of them.
However, after many years in this industry, I have transacted with most of the best-known protocols and I can tell you with enough guarantees that you will not find cryptocurrency faster than XNO (Nano). And if you do, you won’t notice the difference because Nano confirms transactions in fractions of a second (on average).
2. XNO (NANO) IS THE FASTEST CRYPTOCURRENCY
Nothing better than testing the theory with pure empiricism:
- Download one of their best-known wallets (I particularly love Natrium for mobile).
- Create an account (it will take a few seconds. You just have to save your secret key).
- Send yourself some free XNO to your newly created Nano wallet from one of official faucets.
(*) If the speed doesn’t amaze you, create a second Natrium account (it’s a click) and send transactions between your addresses. As, in addition to being instant, it does not charge commissions, you can do it as many times as you want. Please note that, to prevent spam, after the first few transactions you may be placed in a priority queue. Even so, the normal thing is that they all arrive in less than a second.
3. OTHER FAST CRYPTOCURRENCIES THAT CONFIRM IN A FEW SECONDS
- VITE (≈ 1s)
- XRP (≈ 3s)
- XLM (≈ 3s)
- IOTA (seconds)
- TRX (seconds)
- BNB (seconds)
- SOL (seconds)
- LUNA (seconds)
Right now these are the first ones that come to mind, but there are many more.
