The Nervos Network, or the Nervos CKB (Common Knowledge Base), is a public, permissionless Layer-1 blockchain that manages data and assets in a highly secure and decentralized manner. The Nervos blockchain forms the base layer of the Nervos ecosystem, while Layer-2 solutions built on top of its infrastructure offer scalability and near-instant transaction times.
The Nervos CKB also serves to store value within the Nervos Network in a public, secure, and censorship-resistant manner. It offers decentralized custody services for assets, identities, and other common knowledge created on Nervos.
Nervos aims to offer a multi-layer architecture developed with security and decentralization at its core. It aims to be a blockchain platform for universal applications, going beyond trying to achieve blockchain interoperability.
CKByte or CKB is the native token of Nervos, and each CKByte token allows its holder access to one byte of data storage on the decentralized network. The CKB token also serves as the currency of the Nervos blockchain and is used to pay transaction and computation fees.
