About Nervos

The Nervos Network is an open source public blockchain ecosystem and collection of protocols solving the biggest challenges facing blockchains today.
The Nervos CKB (Common Knowledge Base) is the layer 1, proof of work public blockchain protocol of the Nervos Network. Any crypto-asset can be stored, with the security, immutability and permissionless nature of Bitcoin, while enabling smart contracts, layer 2 scaling, and the capture of total network value through a unique crypto-economic "store of value" design and native token, the CKByte.
The design of the Nervos Network is a sustainably secure, permissionless and decentralized Layer 1 blockchain that is built to scale with Layer 2 solutions, making Nervos the only PoW, multi-asset, store of value, smart contract platform.

Nervos CKByte

The CKByte (Common Knowledge Byte) is the native token of the Nervos CKB. The CKbyte represents ownership of the Common Knowledge Base blockchain and is used as a store of value and for resource management. Equivalent to owning land, the CKByte is used to store assets, smart contracts, and other types of “common knowledge.” You can choose to rent out your space, or simply “hodl” in the Nervos DAO for value preservation.
The CKbyte scales with value creation through other tokens, assets, data and smart contracts deployed on the network. As the Nervos network grows, so does the demand for the CKByte token. It is this innovative crypto-economic design that ensures the network’s "store of asset" properties, aligns all participants, and secures the network’s future indefinitely.

Nervos DAO

The Nervos DAO is an inflation shelter from secondary issuance used to manage state storage and provide sustainable incentives for miners. Store of Value users can lock their tokens in the Nervos DAO and receive interest in proportion to this inflation. In this way your tokens are never diluted beyond a fixed cap.
