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.

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.

  • High availablility
  • Decentralization
10G

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.

  • Always fastest route
  • Load balanced
server

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.

  • 100% secure
  • 0% Downtime
ID

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.

  • Reliable data transactions
  • Communication everywhere
security

Extra security and privacy

End-to-end and hop-by-hop encryption without Public Key Infrastructure or 3rd party certificates.
