What is Godwoken?
Godwoken is an EVM compatible layer 2 built on Nervos Layer 1.
Godwoken is an optimistic rollup ultimately inheriting security from layer 1.
Godwoken provides instant transaction finality with low fees and a completely Ethereum compatible environment on Nervos
Why choose Godwoken?
Be the first to benefit from a powerful, secure, inherently multi-chain blockchain ecosystem with low fees and quick transaction times.
With Nervos, Ethereum blockchain developers will be able to port dApps seamlessly, allowing them to be part of the next generation DeFi ecosystem.

Beyond Interoperability, Towards Universal Application
Early internet applications lived on segregated networks needing different ways to access and interact.
Now, in today's decentralized world we again see this segregation into different ecosystems with poor interoperability.
The Nervos Network solves this problem by offering a suite of integrated solutions that allow the developer to build Universal Apps.
Access to any asset, any Blockchain
Choose your interface, choose your crypto and stick with it, but still access the entire space.
The frustration of multiple wallets, exchanges and seed phrases is no more with Nervos.
Operate dApps from any wallet or solutionFeel the power of Universal Apps as you navigate every one of them from your chosen solution.
Nervos brings the dApp ecosystem to you, and your wallet.
Code with flexibility, bring dApps from anywhere

THE NERVOS CULTURE
The Nervos Network is being built by a team of developers with deep roots in the crypto space.
We are a diverse group with backgrounds in engineering, cryptography, token-economics and community building – currently more than 95+ people across the world.
TOKEN
The CKByte (CKB) — A pioneer in cryptocurrency utility
CKB is a cryptocurrency that can be used as a secure store
of value, like Bitcoin. It can also be a value token behind smart
contracts, like ETH. Store, execute, and even rent space on the
Nervos Blockchain with CKBytes.
What is CKByte?
The CKByte is the token that fuels the Nervos Network. It is not Bitcoin, and it is not ETH -- it is more than that.
The unique crypto-economic design makes it an ideal use case for Store of Value as well as capturing the total value of the network to increase security and aligning the interests of Users, Miners, Developers and Node operators.
How is it unique?
Our token is unique because it can achieve more than just one use. $CKB is not just storing value, or just executing smart contracts, it does both and more.
$CKB's crypto-economic design is not just to facilitate transactions, but also for long-term value preservation which scales with network growth and value creation.
$CKB is a powerful tool for the network, but a strong stand alone crypto as well.
What can it be used for?
Being a unique token that stretches the limits of what you know in cryptocurrency to be possible, $CKB comes with a lot of uses.
You will be happy to know $CKB ticks the boxes to be used as a medium of exchange, as well as a store of value.
You can use $CKB in executing your smart contracts or for use in dApps and even in renting out space on the blockchain.
What is Nervos DAO?
The Nervos DAO lets you lock CKBytes, that are currently unused, in order to receive rewards from secondary issuance.
Think of it like this, if you are depositing in the Nervos DAO, your holdings will never be diluted by secondary issuance.
Although it may seem slightly complicated at first, the Nervos DAO, alongside every aspect of $CKB, is developed in a totally permissionless, decentralized and trustless way.
How to purchase $CKB?
The best way to purchase the $CKB token is to visit one of the exchanges listed below.
If you need some more help, we have a step-by-step guide that will take you through the process of purchaing $CKB.
The best way to purchase the CKB token is to visit one of the following exchanges.
HOW DO I STORE MY
CKB AND KEEP IT SAFEThere are a number of ways that you can keep your CKB safe on either software or even hardware wallets.
Additionally, CKB is available at several exchanges, where it can be stored, but for added security, it is worth looking into some other options.
NeuronNeuron is the Nervos Network’s native wallet
https://github.com/nervosnetwork/neuron/releasesimTokenEasy and secure digital wallet trusted by millions
https://token.im/LedgerOne of the more popular hardware wallets and it offers support for storing CKB.

To take a deeper dive into the Nervos Network to understand our
position in the blockchain ecosystem, as well as the Layer 1 and
crypto-economic design.
The Nervos Positioning Paper
It is important that we help our communities understand what we try to accomplish, the trade-offs we have made, and how we have arrived at our current design decisions.
The Nervos Positioning Paper will give a clearer picture of where the Network sits in the current blockchain ecosystem, and where it will find itself in the future.
Read the Paper.Crypto-economics of the Nervos Common Knowledge BaseWe understand a well-designed crypto-economic model is needed to provide incentives so that participants pursue their own economic interests to lead to a desired behavior to contribute to the blockchain network’s success.
We invite you to read our Crypto-Economic paper to understand how we embrace the full gambit of blockchain technology.
Read the Paper. Nervos CKB: A Common Knowledge Base for Crypto-Economy
Nervos is a layered crypto-economy network that separates the infrastructure of a crypto-economy into two layers:
a verification layer (Layer 1) and a generation layer (Layer 2) for high-performance transactions and privacy protection.
Find out more about how these layers operate in this overview of the Nervos Common Knowledge Base.

Nervos CKLabs is designed to provide a resourceful,
engaging and effective support program in order to catalyze early-stage
projects and help build a thriving ecosystem.
Who is the program for?
Engineers that have built an MVP and need help getting their dApp to the next level. You should be familiar with CKB and be building an application that
people can use today.
We welcome both new and existing projects that want to port over to CKB.
What will it get you?
A successful inductee into CKLabs will receive:
Funding: Up to $100k in exchange for tokens and/or equity.
Networking: Warm introductions to our panel of investors.
Support: Four months of dedicated support from the team.
The support will see you receive bi-weekly calls with a program manager as well as monthly calls with a co-founder for big picture stuff.
There will also be access to key people who designed the Nervos Network and a dedicated discord channel. Finally, your project will also get the marketing and media support when you are ready to launch.
The Grants Program was created to empower innovation and development, and to support the growth of a diverse and thriving ecosystem.
COMMON VISION,
COMMON GOALS,
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Our long term vision for Nervos is to be fully decentralized in all aspects
and community-led. Part of our journey to achieving this is bootstrapping and empowering individuals, projects and teams who share a common vision
for the project.
If you share our vision and have the experience and skills to deliver on any project within the scope of a grant category currently open – we invite
you to apply.
What is the application process?
The grant application process consists of 3 rounds.
1) A grant proposal abstract needs to be posted to Nervos Talk Forum for
initial approval of the concept and team.
2) A detailed technical specification posted into the same thread below the abstract
3) A final Q&A Discussion with the review council.
GRANT CATAGORIESThe scope of the grants program will be broad and across all aspects of ecosystem building to allow anyone around the world the potential to join the community and help grow the Nervos Ecosystem.
Initial grants open for application focus on infrastructure building and developing the foundation for which the network and ecosystem can grow.
Each grant category has a scope of work for that specific category to give guidance and recommendations for potential applicants.
