What is Nervos Network?
Nervos is a blockchain that allows for the creation and use of interoperable dApps (decentralized applications) in a fast and scalable network. It aims to be the home of the universal dApp ecosystem. It combines the security of a proof-of-work consensus while allowing for smart contracts.
Why does Nervos Network have value?
Nervos Network consists of a main chain and many Layer 2 chains, where developers can build and deploy scalable dApps. It eases the process of accessing different blockchains and cryptos.
