Nano Faces Delisting | ChangeNOW and NOWPayments Cut Ties
A wave of disappointment hits the Nano community as ChangeNOW and NOWPayments announce the delisting of Nano. The move, confirmed to a partner on August 12, 2026, was unexpected and blindsided many businesses relying on these platforms. Critics are questioning the integrity of these services after they acted without warning.
The Reason Behind the Delisting
The delisting decision caught Nano representatives off guard. They learned about it through a third-party partner rather than direct communication from either platform. As reported by Nano, the reasoning stemmed from high integration costs that both ChangeNOW and NOWPayments considered too burdensome to maintain.
"We are incredibly disappointed with how this has been handled after 6 years of close partnership," said a derailed Nano spokesperson.
After several queries seeking clarity on the decision, Nano received no satisfactory explanation or engagement, with inquiries about network support provisions largely ignored.
Community Outrage
User reactions reflect a deep-seated frustration within the Nano community:
Distrust in Services: Many people have voiced concerns like, "ChangeNOW feels like one of those fake decentralized services that generally works for now but is right on the edge of oblivion (along with your funds)."
Infrastructure Solutions: Some are advocating for alternatives, suggesting that if infrastructure costs were the primary barrier, solutions such as Nano RPC and PoW are available without extensive maintenance.
Concerns Over Support: There's a notable skepticism surrounding the lack of routine updates and transparency from ChangeNOW and NOWPayments. Users are asking, "When is the v29 update coming?" pointing to a larger issue of support and communication.
What Lies Ahead?
The delisting is set to disrupt many businesses that accept Nano through these platforms. As Nano seeks to fill this gap, they assure the community they will keep them updated on potential alternatives. Moreover, industry experts suggest that Nano could emerge stronger by shifting focus to smaller, more flexible platforms that can more readily accommodate their needs.
Potential Community Initiatives
The delisting might spark community-led funding initiatives to support continued development. Engaging the user base might result in a renewed commitment to improving adoption rates.
