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.
We released a new mainnet version v2.2.0 at https://github.com/nknorg/nkn/releases. This version adds a few major features including client authorization, client message cache, transaction pool sync. In addition, this version contains several performance optimization, bug fixes and security patches. Upgrade is highly recommended.
We released a new mainnet version v2.1.7 at https://github.com/nknorg/nkn/releases 13. This version introduces fast sync and light sync for faster block sync and smaller ledger size. Experimental release of fast sync and light sync In this version we are introducing two new sync mode: fast sync and light sync. Fast sync: node will sync the same full […]
– nMobile is an extra secure and trusted chat app, available on iOS and Android today.
– Why nMobile? To eradicate the roots of security hacks and privacy issues of popular chat apps such as whatsapp and signal, by removing all centralized servers.
– Targeted audience: people who put highest priority on security and privacy, such as crypto community, minority groups, and financial/legal/health professionals.
– Why is it better? nMobile runs on dataRide, a blockchain powered distributed communication system by over 20,000 independent, open source and community run relay servers.
With today’s launch of NKN 2.0, we look beyond blockchain technology and set our gaze upon a much larger prize. Our steaming hot prize is Network as a Service, or in plain English, how we can connect all the people and things in the world, quickly and securely.
With the successful completion of this audit, the security of the project is significantly improved and every functional module can be operated in a relatively safe and secure manner. This is a crucial milestone and prerequisite for NKN 2.0.
Recently the developers of the community-known NKNx ecosystem ChrisT and lightmyfire and the creator of nStatus, Mutsi, decided to join force and form the first NKN Open-Source community called “Rule110”.
