the scalability trilemma

All blockchains today face the same problem: the scalability trilemma. Since global consensus is slow and expensive, adding more nodes aids in decentralization, but hampers speed and overall scalability.

how we solve the problem

Nervos Network tackles the scalability trilemma by separating state generation and state verification/storage in a layered architecture.

nervos network: built with layers

As a public permissionless blockchain system, Nervos CKB provides powerful data abstraction, broad consensus, and strong security — all without sacrificing decentralization.

OUR TECHNICAL APPROACH:

CKB Virtual Machine

CKB-VM is a new blockchain VM that adopts RISC-V instruction sets, written in Rust.
