Nervos Network operates on a dual-layer architecture. The base layer, also known as the Common Knowledge Base (CKB), uses the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism and its native cryptocurrency, CKByte (CKB), to drive the ecosystem. This layer is responsible for network security, resource management, and data storage. The computation layer, on the other hand, processes transactions in real-time and is where developers carry out programming tasks. Nervos Network aims to simplify the creation and use of decentralized apps (dApps) by combining the security of the PoW algorithm with scalability and data sharing capabilities between layers. The network's economic model aims to be scalable, with the intention of allowing participants to contribute to the project's growth by using platform features, in exchange for access to a decentralized, open, and censorship-resistant platform.
