The Nervos Network is an open-source public blockchain ecosystem that is designed to secure multiple assets. Unlike other smart contract platforms that require users to pay transaction fees to help secure the underlying networks, the Nervos Network hopes to create an incentive system that will enable multiple assets to be secured regardless of their price volatility. It does this by capturing the total network value through its native coin the Nervos CKByte, which entitles holders to storage rights on the Nervos blockchain. The network uses a PoW consensus mechanism.
