New Kind of Network(NKN)

Bill0728001: Third Changes


NKN, or New Kind of Network, is an [[Open-source software|open-source protocol]] for public [[blockchain]]-based [[peer-to-peer]] Network to share unused bandwidth and Internet connectivity. [1]


NKN uses a global addressing scheme based on public key, in order to enable direct peer to peer communication without centralized servers. The routing of packets is based on [[Chord (peer-to-peer)|Chord Distributed Hash Table (DHT)]], which maps each NKN address to a random and verifiable position on the Chord DHT ring. [2]


NKN’s consensus algorithm is based on [[Cellular automaton|Cellular Automata,]] [[A New Kind of Science]] and [[Ising model|Ising Model]], where a simple local majority rule can lead to system level convergence in a small number of iterations. The design goal is to scale to arbitrary numbers of equal consensus nodes.[3]


The project was launched in January 2018 and lists [[Stephen Wolfram]], creator of [[Wolfram Mathematica|Mathematica]] and [[WolframAlpha|Wolfram|Alpha]], and [[Whitfield Diffie]], inventor of [[Public-key cryptography|public key cryptography]] as advisers. [4][5][6]



NKN Mainnet was launched in July 2019. [7]
