### What is Nervos Network?

Nervos Network is a modular blockchain network designed to provide security, decentralization, flexibility, and interoperability on the base layer (Layer 1) with scalability achieved on the upper layers (Layer 2). It aims to create a peer-to-peer crypto-economy network, providing secure blockchain services and capabilities.

### How does Nervos Network work?

Nervos Network operates on a multi-layer architecture. The base layer, known as the Common Knowledge Base (CKB), uses a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism, providing security and decentralization. Its unique architecture also includes a layer for high-throughput transactions, enhancing scalability. The Nervos CKB employs a modified Nakamoto Consensus algorithm, NC-MAX, to improve security and network throughput while reducing lag time in transaction confirmations. Additionally, smart contracts can be executed in a secure virtual machine environment, allowing interactions with secondary networks.

### What are the potential use cases for Nervos Network?

Nervos Network can be used for various applications, including:  
- **Decentralized Finance (DeFi):** Supporting platforms for stablecoin issuance, decentralized exchanges, and lending/borrowing protocols.  
- **Identity Verification:** Enabling secure identity management solutions.  
- **Gaming:** Supporting scalable and interoperable gaming applications.  
- **Interoperable Transactions:** Facilitating asset transfers and smart contracts across different blockchains.  
The network is also being utilised in industries such as healthcare, eCommerce, and banking, providing solutions for secure transactions and international trading.

### What is the history of Nervos Network?

Nervos Network was founded in 2018 by Jan Xie and Daniel Lv, with the aim of overcoming blockchain scalability and interoperability issues. It launched following a successful public token sale in 2019. Key milestones include integration with China's blockchain-based Service Network in 2020, launching an Ethereum bridge, and supporting DeFi projects. Nervos Network has continuously developed its technology, marked by updates like a hard fork in 2022, and grown its market presence through unique solutions addressing blockchain's core challenges.
