## 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

##### nMobile

With nMobile, we created an all-in-one solution for decentralized chat, wallet integration, and solution utilization. It eliminates the possibility of security and privacy breaches by removing centralized servers entirely.

Show more

##### nConnect

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.

Show more

##### 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.

- High availablility
- Decentralization

#### 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

#### 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

#### 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

#### Extra security and privacy

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

- Additional security layer
- No central certificate authority

#### Low latency

NKN Supports all application types including real-time 3D gaming, AR/VR, and IoT, as well as edge computing and optimized routing.

- Low ping
- Fast access

## Build your own software based on NKN

Using NKN in your own software is easy as 1-2-3! Our SDK is available in multiple languages, we’ve made things easy to get started with, and an active community is always there to answer your questions. NKN SDK is available in:

- JavaScript
- Golang
- C++
- Java
- Python
- iOS/Android

## What others say about us

##### Baidu-Owned Video Streaming Giant iQiyi Taps Public Blockchain for Performance Boost

The joint effort marks a step forward in the development and interoperability of two emerging technological innovations, blockchain and edge computing, NKN said.

##### Narwhal: NKN’s New Mainnet Comes To Surface

The Narwhal Mainnet is NKN’s first step to create the world’s largest permissionless public blockchain by number of nodes. The testnet already registered 13,000 full consensus nodes, and now the project hopes to scale it up to “millions if not trillions of nodes.

##### Case Study: NKN

At the same time China Mobile was rolling out its 5G service, NKN began engaging with one of the largest Video Service Providers in China that have been experiencing phenomenal customer growth and looking for new ways to meet the growing demand.

##### An NKN Odyssey: A Billion Nodes with Dr. Zhang

Let me be explicit: the current NKN node code, without any modification, will work with one billion full nodes without any problem.
