About NKN

NKN (New Kind of Network) is a decentralized peer-to-peer network protocol that creates a connectivity layer using idle bandwidth. Participants run NKN nodes and relay data for others, earning NKN tokens for their contribution through a Proof of Relay consensus mechanism. The network has grown to 100,000+ nodes — one of the largest decentralized peer-to-peer networks globally. NKN provides programmable, secure data transmission with end-to-end encryption, useful for decentralized messaging, VPN-like privacy routing, and IoT device communication. The nMobile app uses NKN for private, censorship-resistant messaging without central servers.
