The $NOCK supply is verifiable and transparent.
We’re focused on incentivizing computers to do useful work verified with ZKPs, starting with AI inference.
Nockchain is building a fast, private, programmable base layer secured by Proof of Useful Work.
Nockchain bootstrapped ZKPOW and is the largest ZK proving network in the world. It's built on Nock, a language stack developed for Urbit that turned out to be amazing for ZKPs.
First, we subsidized and incentivized ZKPs.
Now, we’ve got plenty of fast, cheap ZKPs.
Next, we use ZKPs to make verifiable Puzzles of many kinds of compute.
Incentivize Compute with Puzzles. Create Compute Markets.
Nock nock.
I made a new investment which is called $nock
It benefits from 2 narratives that will do will in the short-mid term which is privacy and verifiable compute
Most of these features will go live soon which reminds of buying $tao before subnets went live at $50
Hoping to see a 5-10x from here especially as core features slowly start to roll out
So $NOCK just cut daily sell pressure by ~70% while making the chain ~3x faster.
One of the biggest updates since the project went live, imo.
Here is why this is huge:
Before
• 16.38K NOCK/block
• ~8 min blocks
• ≈ 2.95M/day to miners
After
• 1,638/block to miners
• 410/block to protocol fund
• 2.5 min blocks
• ≈ 943K/day to miners
Result
• Less inflation
• Less miner dumping
• Faster settlement
• More demand-side incentives coming
Also, from the founder @loganallc
“The protocol fund will primarily be used later to incentivize various onchain activities once we release the fully useful PoW and the namespace”
On May 21, 2025, Nockchain went live. Genesis attested to Bitcoin block 897767. Just a proof puzzle and an open invitation.
In under a year, the network has generated over 1 billion zero-knowledge proofs. Nockchain became the largest proving network in the world.
Today we announce the next phase. Faster, more agile and more scarce than ever.
