Welcome to the new internet!
The New Kind of Network
Easy To Use
NKN makes it easy for everybody to use and utilize our services. Our code is available in many programming languages so it's easy to adopt for every developer.
Optimized Routing
The NKN network always finds the most optimal route to it's destination. Using our own "proximity routing" algorithm, data is always taking the fastest possible relayers. Private and Secure Delivery
NKN works without the direct use of an IP address. Data is stored only in the local device, and always guarantees best protection of privacy and security.Solutions in the NKN Ecosystem

With nConnect, we offer a unique remote access solution with strongest security and ultimate privacy. This revolutionary service allows our users to reach to all their private data and personal files in just one click, whenever or wherever they want.
DataRide
With dataRide we provide custom built solutions (e.g. nCDN or nConnect) for customers, as well as documented resources for developers who want to code applications on their own.
Solving all the problems todays internet can't!
Millions of nodes
NKN's novel MOCA consensus algorithm is horizontally scalable and supports an arbitrary number of consensus nodes. NKN mainnet can support millions of full consensus nodes, more than Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Aggregated high speed
Nodes and clients can utilize the aggregated speed of several routes. Adding more NKN nodes to the network can horizontally scale throughput for the entire network.
Zero Server
Fully peer to peer and decentralized, with no need to develop and run centralized servers. Significantly reducing complexity and costs, as well as removing the single point of failure and a centralized target for attacks or hacking.
Unique and global ID
Unique NKN addresses enable services from anywhere in the world and at any time, and also helps people discover and search for applications and services.
Extra security and privacy
End-to-end and hop-by-hop encryption without Public Key Infrastructure or 3rd party certificates.
Low latency
NKN Supports all application types including real-time 3D gaming, AR/VR, and IoT, as well as edge computing and optimized routing.

Uncovering the invisible | NKN Universal Communication - A New Era of Communication Infrastructure that is reshaping our lives
On Thursday 20th July 2022 over Twitter Space, NKN co-founders Bruce Li and Yilun Zhang (CTO) provided updates of the NKN project as well as shared thoughts about future directions. The topics covered at: 1) NKN achievements up to mid-year 2023: Tech progression, Product updates, Business Development, Marketing new attempts, upcoming events, Community, Future plans/lite yearly roadmap. 2) Share new trends and recent movements of the Web 3.0, as well as future plans for NKN. 3) Q&A session
People often ask questions about what NKN can do outside NKN blockchain, for example: Can we use NKN to enable real time communication between two Ethereum addresses? Can we use NKN to do communication between different blockchain addresses, like Ethereum to Bitcoin? Can we use NKN to communicate between web2 addresses (e.g. domain, email address) and web3 addresses (e.g Ethereum address, ENS)? Now the answer is YES.
Built on top of the New Kind of Network (NKN) protocol, Universal Communication System (UCS) uses NKN as its network layer, effectively making NKN the TCP/IP layer in the UCS architecture. This groundbreaking system enables end-to-end encrypted communication without reliance on any centralized server, ensuring optimal privacy and security for all users.
