NKN Mid-Year AMA with the founding team on Twitter Space
On Thursday 20th of July 2023, we held our Mid-Year AMA with the founding team on Twitter Space. NKN Co-founders Bruce Li and Yilun Zhang met with our community members online and presented our progress in the past half year as well as our plans for the future.
Tech progression, product updates, marketing new initiatives, upcoming events, and future plans are all covered in this AMA, and our co-founders both shared thoughts on recent trends in the industry. Live and pre-collected community questions are also answered at the end of the session, ranging from developing support to the launch of Nolaris, our sister project that intends to build out new infrastructure with satellite internet.

Launching NKN Universal Communication Service (UCS) | A new communication infra that is about to revolutionize our lives
This month, we have launched NKN Universal Communication Service (UCS), a next-generation decentralized communication protocol designed to bridge the gap between the traditional Web 2 services and an opening era of Web 3 applications.
The smooth and borderless compatibility of NKN Universal Communication is the essential key to achieving modern communication, offering a secure and decentralized communication platform.

NKN Resolver | Powering off-chain communication for ETH/ENS address and any web2/web3 identities
Ayo! To all Web 3 developers, especially if you are on Ethereum and EVM compatible chains, please let us introduce the NKN Resolvers, powering off-chain communication for ETH/ENS addresses and any Web 2/Web 3 identities. You can now use NKN as your off-chain communication stack, sending messages, files, and A/V streams over 100Tbps total bandwidth.
With this newest plug-in in NKN SDK, we are saying YES to all these questions from developers:
- Can we use NKN to enable real-time communication between two Ethereum addresses?
- Can we use NKN to communicate between different blockchain addresses, like Ethereum to Bitcoin?
- Can we use NKN to communicate between Web 2 addresses and Web 3 addresses?
