LANA is an independent cryptocurrency, launched in May 2016. It runs on its own blockchain, making it a true crypto coin. LANA can be exchanged for products and services, and thanks to its limited supply, it also functions as a store of value. You can convert it to cash at any time by selling it on a cryptocurrency exchange. PLAN15 is an initiative within the LANA community that revives Bitcoin's growth story from its early days, offering a second chance to those who missed out the first time.
Key Features of LANA
Just like Bitcoin is divided into 100 million satoshis, one LANA is divided into 100 million lanoshis.
LANA has a capped total supply of 7.506 billion coins. For comparison, Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins. You can track all transactions and data on the Lana blockchain using the Lanacoin Blockchain Explorer.
LANA's consensus mechanism switched from a hybrid PoW/PoS (Proof of Work/Proof of Stake) model to a pure PoS system at block 750,000 (on September 19, 2022). Since then, the network consumes minimal energy for transaction validation.
Before this change, around 2.5 million coins were generated daily. After the switch, daily coin generation dropped to approximately 350,000 LANA. This drastic reduction, combined with the shift from miners to stakers, contributed to an immediate price increase of more than 500%.

Stakers (in a PoS system) have a vested interest in holding their coins. The more coins they stake, the higher the reward they earn through transaction validation. This structure supports price stability and discourages dumping, unlike the PoW model, which encourages constant selling to cover mining costs (reconstruction of sentence).
As a result, the 750,000th block marks a milestone after which LANA became fundamentally a new coin. PLAN15 followers recognize September 19, 2022, as LANA's rebirth.
Like Bitcoin, LANA is open source (link to GitHub). Anyone can contribute to its development and share ideas freely within the community.
Lana is a decentralized cryptocurrency. Importantly, LANA never had an ICO (Initial Coin Offering). There is no central company or investor behind it. Its growth relies entirely on community support. While some may view this as a weakness, PLAN15 sees it as a great strength. The fact that LANA stayed under the radar until block 750,000 gives it the unique position of a fresh start, similar to Bitcoin's early days.
Until recently, LANA had no whitepaper, since its community felt Bitcoin's whitepaper already covered the foundational philosophy. However, due to new European regulations (MiCA), a dedicated LANA whitepaper is now in development.
Lana is a fork of a Bitcoin fork, to be exact a fork from blackcoin-old/blacknet-ninja. It has the same algorithm as Bitcoin (more precisely double SHA256D, even more protected against attacks) and that's why it was chosen for the second chance. PLAN15 calls Lana the lost daughter of the father Bitcoin, which, unlike the latter, can carry out the original idea of Bitcoin's founder Satoshi Nakamoto much easier due to its features. Basically, LANA is exactly what Bitcoin should be to be owned practically by everyone on the planet today.
LANA is a fork of a fork of Bitcoin. More precisely, it forked from Blackcoin-old/Blacknet-Ninja. It uses the same algorithm as Bitcoin (Double SHA256D), which is even more resistant to attacks, making it ideal for carrying forward Satoshi Nakamoto's vision (reconstruction of sentence). PLAN15 calls LANA “the lost daughter of Bitcoin” — a coin with the potential to achieve what Bitcoin could have, had it been more accessible.
LANA's Biggest Advantage: Transaction Fees
Thanks to its fast transaction speed, minimal fees (reconstruction: why not: extremely low transaction fee), scalable block size, and optimal total supply, LANA is perfect for everyday use and long-term savings.
The transaction fee for sending LANA is only 0.00000100 LANA (100 lanoshis). At the time of writing, when one LANA is worth less than two satoshis, this fee equates to about $0.0000000015.
Even if LANA's price were to rise by over 100 million times to $150,000 per coin, the transaction fee would still be cheaper than a bank card processing fee. This makes LANA ideal for microtransactions, such as buying a morning coffee, even in a world where LANA is the only currency.
Each LANA block is 4 MB (four times the size of Bitcoin's block). This size can be expanded to 64 MB or more if needed, making LANA capable of supporting all global transactions.
PLAN15: A Bold but Realistic Vision
PLAN15 is a strategy for recreating Bitcoin's rise for those who missed it the first time. It guides followers through 15 steps, divided into three phases:
- Phase 1: Learning about LANA
- Phase 2: Building your own LANA microeconomy
- Phase 3: Joining others to form the LANA macroeconomy
PLAN15 officially begins at block 750,000 (September 19, 2022). At the time of writing, LANA is roughly where Bitcoin was in April 2011. If LANA were Bitcoin, its price would be around $270. If Bitcoin were LANA, it would be under 15 cents.
PLAN15 aims to repeat the story of Bitcoin for all those who missed it either due to ignorance or simply because they were too young. It guides its followers through 15 steps, which are divided into three phases, each phase containing 5 steps. In the first phase, the follower gets to know Lana, in the second phase he/she begins to develop his/her own Lana microeconomy, and in the third phase he/she begins to combine with others, who together form the Lana macroeconomy.
The launch of PLAN15 coincides with Lana block 750,000, which means that LANA's story begins on September 19, 2022, despite the fact that it was founded in 2016. At the time of writing, Lana is where Bitcoin was in April 2011. If Lana was Bitcoin, its value would be around $270 and conversely, if Bitcoin was Lana, it would be worth less than 15 cents.

PLAN15 officially begins at block 750,000 (September 19, 2022). At the time of writing, LANA is roughly where Bitcoin was in August 2011. If LANA were Bitcoin, its price would be around $265. If Bitcoin were LANA, it would be under 55 cents.
