Nervos Network is a blockchain protocol built on a Proof-of-Work blockchain. Proof-of-Work secures the blockchain by utilizing crypto miners, and major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently Proof-of-Work.
These miners are compensated in CKbyte, the native cryptocurrency of the Nervos Network blockchain. On its layer 2, CKbyte is intended to be both a value store and a reserve asset.
