BANANO Monthly Update #43 (November 2021)

Nov 3, 2021 • 6 min read

It’s time for another fresh 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 November 2021 summarizes all important happenings in the BANANO ecosphere in October 2021, which was the 43rd 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 disrupt the meme economy. 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 at exchange.banano.how.

Updated data from November 1st, 2021:
Circulating Supply: 1,333,933,632
Burned Total: 1,483,382,782
Total Supply: 1,919,440,886

You can always check the current BANANO supply via this API.

More ways to get free BANANO and other non official faucets can be found at banano.how

New faucets and modifications of current ones 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.

BANANO is distributed through faucet payouts (Bananominer, Powerplant, Monkeytalks, BoomPow), BananoJobs, tipping allowances and celery (rewards) to core team members and contributors, plus we have regular events and contests organized by the core team or the community.

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!

Community activity on all platforms is key for BANANO growth and ripening in context of free and fair distribution! To keep track of this, here’s the monthly overview about our main social media/news channels with follower counts as of November 1st, 2021 compared to counts from January 2020:

BANANO Outlook

As you can see, the core team and all the BANANO community supporters are constantly working on different new projects adding up to the BANANO ecosphere. The recent upgrade to V22 is meanwhile completed and most issues during the upgrade have been fixed. We’ll continue developing new things and improving all the stuff we already have up and running. There always will be new events, giveaways and other happenings such as innovative airdrops, new faucets and faucetgames, and we are working hard to make a new version of Banano Runner become real in the not too distant future (yeah we’re saying this since forever, but it will come eventually, no worries). Good things simply take time. We’re always working on different new things and will keep you updated. We’re all here for the long-term in shaping this unique crypto experiment called BANANO ❤

Stay tuned, and if you have an idea and/or ability to contribute to the BANANO ecosphere whatsoever feel free to contact us!
