Nockchain is a lightweight chain for heavyweight compute. It uses ZK-Proof of Work (zkPoW). Miners create a ZK-Proof (ZKP) of a fixed puzzle computation, then hash the ZKP, and earn $NOCK based on their computation power. Total raised $ 5M Delphi Ventures , octu, Breed VC,..

NOCK Details
Mining starts May 19th.
Total Supply: 2^32 nocks (around 4.29 billion).
Fair launch: 100% of $NOCK will be issued to Miners.
$NOCK is used to pay for blockspace on Nockchain.
10-min block times (like Bitcoin)
For Testnet, we run "Miner" and a "simulated local testnet" with a fake genesis block, to connect our Miner to it.
Once Mainnet live, public peers are published, so we just need to run Miner alone. It connects to public peers.
Mainnet to be launched in 19th May
The earlier you start mining, the BIGGER rewards you are going to earn.
