Nervos (CKB) Wallet

Get Started

Introduction to CKB

The Nervos Network is an open source public blockchain ecosystem and collection of protocols solving the biggest challenges facing blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum today.

The Nervos CKB (Common Knowledge Base) is the layer 1, proof of work public blockchain protocol of the Nervos Network. It allows any crypto-asset to be stored with the security, immutability and permissionless nature of Bitcoin while enabling smart contracts, layer 2 scaling and captures the total network value through its “store of value” crypto-economic design and native token, the CKByte.

The CKB consensus protocol NC-Max has three major innovations based on Bitcoin’s Nakamoto Consensus:

  • Two-step transaction confirmation to reduce orphan rate;
  • Dynamic block interval and block reward to best utilize bandwidth;
  • Considering all blocks in difficulty adjustment to defend against selfish mining.

Use

CKB Stake

Nervos DAO is a smart contract with which users can interact the same way as any smart contract on CKB. Holders can deposit their CKB in Nervos DAO at any time.

Nervos DAO is a time deposit that has a minimum deposit period (calculated in blocks), and the holder can only withdraw funds after a completed deposit period. If the holder does not withdraw CKB at the end of the deposit period, the CKB will automatically enter into a new deposit cycle.

CKB Transfer

The minimum transfer unit of a CKB is 1 Cell, and a minimum Cell is composed of capacity, lock, args, hash_type

  • capacity is equal to 8 bytes;
  • lock is equal to 32 bytes;
  • args is equal to 20 bytes;
  • hash_type is equal to 1 byte;

A total of 61 bytes are added, and 1 byte is equal to 1 CKB, so the smallest cell is equal to 61 CKB, that is, the number of CKB in each transfer must not be less than 61.
