BANANO Monthly Update #26 (June 2020)
Jun 1, 2020 • 9 min read
BANANO has started its third year already quite strong so far despite lots of craziness everywhere. Now it’s June already, meaning it’s time for another freshly pressed Monthly Update from the BANANO ecosystem! The idea of those monthly updates is to keep our community informed, provide a good starting point for new people looking at the project, and to be transparent about BANANO’s ongoing distribution activities and community growth.
This BANANO Monthly Update June 2020 summarizes all important happenings in the BANANO ecosphere in May 2020, which already was the 26th month since the BANANO main-net launch.

What the Fork is BANANO?
For those of you who don’t know BANANO yet: BANANO is a cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin or Ethereum, just a much newer generation). BANANO was forked from the cryptocurrency Nano in April 2018 and thus is powered by DAG technology — here to distrupt the meme economy. Yes, BANANO has memes! And also feeless and near-instant transactions, a highly active community, and active technical development! The BANANO community doesn’t take themselves too seriously, but we’re here for the long run and we enjoy what we do.
On top of this, BANANO is super easy to use. Just try our slick mobile wallet called Kalium and get your first free $BANANO from one of our faucets within minutes! Also, BANANO has a free ongoing distribution through innovative faucet games. You can find more details on our official website: banano.cc, and you’ll find help getting started at banano.how.
BANANO is already traded on several exchanges. You’ll find current information collated at Coingecko (and Coinmarketcap) and an overview about all current exchanges here.

New faucets and modifications will follow over time, and adjustments might always be made to ensure that BANANO’s free distribution stays fair, and also doesn’t make our community members too dependent on BANANO earnings.
Within May 2020, we’ve freely distributed a total of ~21 Million BANANO (April 2020: 35 Million; March 2020: 35 Million; February 2020: 26 Million). Just to name the major events, this has happened through faucet payouts (Black Monkey, Bananominer, Powerplant, Monkeytalks, BoomPow), tipping allowances and celery (rewards) to all core team members, major contributors and moderators.
BANANO Tipbots as we use them at Discord, Reddit, Telegram and Twitter are instrumental for showing newly joining members how easy-to-use and fast BANANO truly is, and to actually have everyone use BANANO for what it’s made for — tipping others!
Example Twitter/Telegram Tipbot: In total, since the Tipbot was started in Mid April 2019 until May 1, 2020, more than 37 Million BANANO were tipped in more than 294,000 transactions, only at Twitter and Telegram!

In any case we can assure you we’re working hard on updates and also on bigger exchange listings, and will get everything done one after each other and continue developing the BANANO ecosphere. We’re all here for the long-term in shaping this unique crypto experiment called BANANO ❤
