What is NKN and How Does It Work?
NKN (New Kind of Network) is a peer-to-peer network connectivity protocol launched in 2018 that aims to rebuild the internet infrastructure using blockchain technology. Founded by Yanbo Li, the project creates economic incentives for users to share their network connections and unused bandwidth, effectively crowdsourcing internet connectivity on a global scale.
The protocol uses a novel consensus mechanism called Proof of Relay, where network participants are rewarded for relaying data and maintaining network connectivity. NKN enables developers to build decentralized applications with secure, low-cost, and universally accessible networking capabilities, supporting everything from IoT devices to messaging applications and distributed computing services.
