What is Nervos Network (CKB)?

Nervos Network is a layered blockchain platform designed to improve scalability, interoperability, and security in the cryptocurrency space. It features a two-layer architecture:

• Layer 1 (CKB): Prioritizes security and decentralization using the NC-MAX consensus mechanism, an evolution of Proof-of-Work (PoW) that focuses on enhancing block propagation and throughput.
• Layer 2: Built on top of CKB, these layers handle computation and state generation, enabling high-performance transactions without sacrificing the base layer's security.

Key Features of Nervos Network

• Consensus Mechanism: The NC-MAX consensus mechanism optimizes block propagation and throughput, ensuring quick transaction validation and resilience against attacks.
• Cell Model: Data is stored in a Cell Model, where each cell stores data and executes smart contracts. This model ensures data immutability and integrity.
• CKB-VM: The Nervos Virtual Machine (CKB-VM) supports a wide range of cryptographic primitives, enhancing interoperability with other blockchains. It's based on the RISC-V instruction set, providing a flexible environment for smart contract and dApp development.
