BTC.com releases Nervos CKB mining pool open source code to actively promote community development

On September 29, 2019, BTC.com announced that it had published the CKB mining pool code to Github, making the code open source, contributing to the Nervos community and promoting community development. The BTC.com team said that this open source includes mining services and the implementation of mining protocols.

Ten years ago, Bitcoin started cryptocurrency, and then Ethereum started smart contracts. After the emergence of Ethereum, many public chains emerged to solve problems such as transaction throughput and latency. Among the many public chains, Nervos has attracted a lot of attention and is considered to have the opportunity to become a new catfish in the public chain market and stir up the pattern of the public chain market. So, what exactly is Nervos?

Nervos – A scalable and interoperable blockchain network

Nervos can be said to be a scalable and interoperable blockchain network. CKB (Common Knowledge Base) is a public chain protocol with a very different design, and it is also the base layer in the Nervos network. The underlying design of Nervos CKB changes the blockchain paradigm from a "world computer" to a "consensus automaton", storing consensus results on the chain and executing the calculation process off the chain. To put it bluntly, Nervos CKB has changed the existing underlying data structure of platforms such as Ethereum and EOS, and realized a truly consensus-oriented architecture.

(Nervos CKB mainnet is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2019)

BTC.com-Open source promotes community development

The value of blockchain lies in creating trust, and the trust of blockchain comes from openness, transparency, and non-forgeability and tampering. Earlier, in order to promote community development, BTC.com fully utilized its own technical advantages and open-sourced multiple codes such as BTC mining pool and BTC smart agent. The open-source CKB mining pool is also intended to attract more security practitioners and technology enthusiasts to pay attention to blockchain, thereby promoting the development of blockchain technology.

As an established mining pool that has maintained a leading market share for a long time, BTC.com believes that another value of open source lies in open collaboration. Open source can form a natural cooperation and interaction, and can attract the support of more outstanding developers, thereby activating the community and creating broader value that is more beneficial to participants.

Improving user benefits and better serving miners has always been the purpose of BTC.com mining pool. In order to provide miners with more choices, BTC.com will also launch Nervos CKB mining service in the near future, so stay tuned!
