NKN is a new type of network infrastructure and ecosystem driven by blockchain technology that is open, decentralized and shared by the community. NKN encourages users to share excess network bandwidth, assists equipment service providers to effectively allocate network resources, and encourages individuals and enterprises to deploy more nodes to join the network to provide data transmission services for other nodes, so as to obtain economic benefits in return.
NKN's goal is to use blockchain technology to create new opportunities for network transmission, and to solve the problems of resource allocation, transmission efficiency and value transmission in the current network. It has become a public chain infrastructure that blocks another core element of information technology - network transmission resources after the blockchain-based computing power of Ethereum and the blockchain-based storage capacity of Filecoin/IPFS. Its technical innovations lie in dynamic routing, network relay proof, highly scalable consensus mechanism and resource sharing incentives.
