Nano is easy to send. I built a tool to make it easier to spend.
Nano has no fees. But are you actually in profit? I built NanoTracker to find out.
TL;DR: NanoTracker.app shows what your Nano cost you, whether each payment puts you in profit or loss, and whether it makes sense to pay from your existing stack or swap first. Enter any public Nano address. No seed phrase, password or email required. I'm looking for bug hunters and native speakers. Accepted contributions earn 12 months of Pro for free.
Disclosure: I'm Johannes, a private individual and the sole developer of NanoTracker, not a company. This post was drafted with an AI agent; the project and opinions are mine.
Why I built it
Nano transfers money in about a second, with zero network transaction fees. But sending Nano is only one part of using it as everyday money.
Three questions kept coming up:
- What did my Nano actually cost me, and am I in profit or loss?
- Should I spend the Nano I already hold, or swap first and keep my existing stack?
- How do I keep proper records for accounting and taxes?
I built NanoTracker to answer those questions without asking users to hand over control of their wallets.
What it does today
Wallet analysis and profit/loss
- Enter a public Nano address. No seed phrase or private keys required.
- See historical and current values in 23 currencies.
- Calculate profit and loss per payment using FIFO accounting.
- See the average acquisition price of your Nano.
Holding periods and records
- Track holding periods under German private-sale rules.
- Recognise transfers between your own wallets so the holding period can continue.
- Keep personal and business wallets separate.
- Export transaction data, accounting records and a tax file.
Tax rules differ by country. The holding-period calculations currently focus on Germany; I do not claim that the same rules apply elsewhere.
Spend or swap?
NanoTracker helps you compare paying with Nano you already hold against swapping first.
The basic rule is: if the coins selected for spending are in profit, paying from your stack may make sense. If they are in loss, swapping first may be worth considering. German holding-period rules can also affect the decision.
This is a decision aid based on defined assumptions, not financial or tax advice. You can inspect the calculator and live swap spread at https://nanotracker.app/wasnun/.
More features
- Weekly spending and top-up overview with calendar reminders.
- Merchant tools for QR payment requests, incoming payments and daily closing.
- A fee comparison for documented mobile-money services in Tanzania.
- An API for software agents: daily rates are free; wallet profit/loss costs $0.002 per call and spend-or-swap costs $0.001, paid in Nano via x402. The first call per IP is free.
- German, English, Swahili, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, Spanish and French. Some translations still need native-speaker review.
Privacy matters to me: no third-party scripts, no tracking, and no cookies before login.

Why this matters for Nano
Nano is already fast and feeless at the network level. My goal is to make it easier to use as money, not just as something people send between wallets or hold while watching the price.
Knowing your cost basis helps you understand the consequences of spending. Clear records make accounting easier. Merchant tools reduce some of the practical friction of accepting Nano. And an API lets software agents make the same calculations automatically.
The tool does not eliminate price volatility, exchange spreads or tax obligations. It helps make those things visible.
I'm looking for testers
NanoTracker is still in beta, but it is usable now. I develop it alone, so bugs are expected. I would rather find them with real users than pretend the project is finished.
1. Serious bug reports — 12 months of Pro
Examples include incorrect balances, wrong profit/loss calculations, missing transactions, data loss, crashes or security issues.
2. Native-speaker reviews — 12 months of Pro
Choose Swahili, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, Spanish or French. Check the main pages and either /fees/ or /wasnun/. Tell me what is incorrect, confusing or unnatural.
To qualify, log in with your wallet first and submit your report using the Feedback button at the bottom of the site, or visit https://nanotracker.app/?feedback=1. Reports posted only in Reddit comments cannot qualify for the reward.
I review reports personally, combine duplicates and decide whether a report qualifies. The limit is one bug reward per person and one language-review reward per language. Further free Pro months are available through referrals.
For each report, I store the report text, any contact detail you choose to provide, and the account wallet used for login. I do not store an IP address with the report. Please report security vulnerabilities privately through the feedback channel rather than posting details publicly.
Your turn
What would you want NanoTracker to show that it does not show yet?
I built it to solve my own problems with using Nano. Now I want to find out which problems other Nano users have.
