NKN CTO Yilun Zhang’s tech overview and quick start tutorial:

Or have a peek at your peers’ smart inventions purely based on the NKN network. With almost a week ahead of 29th, we’ve already got quite a lot of interesting submissions going on here: nRide, a realtime location tracking for ride sharing and a collaborative whiteboard App demo built solely on top of our P2P network, serverless of course.

nRide: realtime location tracking using NKN for ride sharing, a demo reel from Martin Arrivets participating in the @NKN_ORG – @gitcoin GR11 hackathon. He used NKN's pub/sub service and real-time secure & private p2p data transmission. $NKN #BUIDL #web3 https://t.co/foSNQG241W pic.twitter.com/1nq6Cub2Lh
