Nockchain is the first L1 blockchain powered by Zero-Knowledge Proof of Work (ZKPoW). Nodes secure the chain and produce blocks by mining zero-knowledge proofs in a PoW competition. Transactions scale as the network difficulty grows to maintain a high velocity of money without bottlenecking. $NOCK is the digital asset for the Nock ecosystem. It's scarce hard money secured by zero-knowledge proofs on Nockchain. $NOCK was fair-launched with no pre-mine in May 2025.

The AI industry is in a strange spot. Just as valuations begin to reach trillion-dollar marks, we’re beginning to see watered-down versions of models where hallucinations and incorrect outputs are common occurrences. The bottleneck is, and was always going to be, compute supply. @LeftsideEmiri h

So @nockchain is going to reuse AI inference that is already happening at scale, to secure their blockchain Inference providers earn block rewards and Nockchain's security goes way up. Win/Win On Bitcoin, the mining work secures the chain only Nockchain replaces hashing with zero knowledge proofs
