FAQ

1. What is CKB?
Built on RISC-V and secured by Proof-of-Work, CKB is the most flexible and interoperable blockchain. It serves as the ultimate foundation of Nervos, a modular blockchain network built from the ground up to ensure outstanding security, decentralization, flexibility, and interoperability.
2. What makes CKB secure and flexible?
The security and flexibility of CKB come from its features: 1. PoW consensus, the same mechanism that secures Bitcoin, with Eaglesong hash function, ensuring robustness and decentralization. 2. Cell model, enabling flexible state storage and scalability. 3. RISC-V powered CKB-VM, supporting versatile smart contracts. 4. Protocol-level account abstraction, enhancing user experiences.
3. What is the relationship between CKB and RGB++?
RGB++ is a new L1 asset standard that enables the seamless leap of Bitcoin L1 assets to CKB without the need for a cross-chain bridge. CKB's unique architecture empowers RGB++, extending Bitcoin's capabilities with smart contract functionality and scalability.
4. What is CKB's tokenomics model?
CKB's tokenimics is designed to ensure the network's long-term sustainability and security. The native token, CKByte, serves three key functions: paying for computation, transaction fees, and state rent. The model includes two issuance mechanisms: Base Issuance, which subsidizes security early on with a predictable halving schedule, and Secondary Issuance, a small, fixed annual inflation incentivizing miners, compensates Nervos DAO participants and supports ongoing development. By holding CKBytes in Nervos DAO, users can offset the inflationary effects of Secondary Issuance and earn interest while contributing to the network's security and stability.
5. What types of applications can be built on CKB?
CKB's flexibility allows developers to build various decentralized applications, including DeFi protocols, games, social networks, and wallets. Visit the Ecosystem page to explore the growing range of applications on CKB.
6. What is the vision of the CKB Eco Fund?
CKB Eco Fund is dedicated to fostering innovations on the Common Knowledge Base (CKB).
7. How can I participate in the CKB ecosystem?
There are many ways to get involved: you can discuss within the community, apply for Spark grants and CKB Community Fund to build applications on CKB, mine or trade CKB, or join the Nervos DAO to earn rewards. Choose your path and become a part of the CKB community.
8. Where can I buy CKB tokens?
CKB is available on more than 30 mainstream exchanges, including Binance, Huobi, Gate.io, KuCoin, and MEXC. Visit CoinMarketCap for a complete list of CKB markets.
