What is NKN?
NKN, short for New Kind of Network, is a peer-to-peer connectivity protocol launched in 2018 and founded by Yanbo Li. It sets out to help rebuild internet infrastructure with blockchain technology by paying people to share their network connections and spare bandwidth.
The protocol runs on a consensus method called Proof of Relay, which rewards participants for relaying data and keeping the network connected. That approach crowdsources internet connectivity on a global scale, with more than 25,000 active nodes reported worldwide.
For developers, NKN offers tools to build decentralised applications that need secure, low-cost and widely accessible networking, from IoT devices to messaging and distributed computing. NKN is the token used to take part in the network and reward that activity.

FAQ
Buying NKN: FAQs

What can I do with NKN tokens?
NKN tokens let you take part in the network as a relay node and earn rewards for transmitting data. They can also be used to pay for network services, reach the developer APIs, and take part in decisions about how the network is run.
How does NKN's Proof of Relay work?
Proof of Relay rewards network participants for successfully relaying data packets between nodes. Rather than competing on raw computing power, this method ties rewards to real network work, so relaying data helps keep the connectivity and data flow of the network running.
