NKN is a connectivity protocol and ecosystem focused on providing an open, decentralized, and shared Internet. With the goal of decentralizing network connectivity and transmission, NKN also provides a network capacity exchange to bridge connectivity consumers and producers. NKN provides proof of relay / transmit leveraging its open global network of peer-to-peer nodes.

NKN and IoTeX completed a blockchain proof of concept in October 2018 centered around blockchain-powered smart home control and authorization to sharing economy renters. We will work together on R&D, along with other partners across the various infrastructure pillars with the goal of driving holistic decentralized use cases. We will also explore additional use cases in the future to further bridge our technologies.
