Biography
Yanbo LiFounder of NKN & Co-Founder of Onchain
Open source guru, Linux Kernel network subsystem code contributor.
Founded and led Onchain Beijing office and developed open source blockchainplatform DNA (Distributed Network Architecture).(https://github.com/dreamfly281/DNA)
Studied in Stanford and has an outstanding background in cryptography.
More than 10 years of R&D experience at Nokia, Qualcomm, specializing in architecture design of distributed network system and implementation of Mesh network protocol.
The Missing Element
Compute
Storage Networkconnectivity&transmission
Proof of Work, e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum
Proof of Storagee.g. IPFS/Filecoin, Sia, Storj
Proof of Transmit/Relay?
Challenges to Free Bits of Internet Today
NeutralityNet
NetworkFragmentation
Selective Propagation
Privacy
Inefficient Usage of Network
Challenges of Existing P2P or Blockchain Network
Mesh network initialization highlydepends on root node or seed nodes
Static network topology is susceptible to attack (even for mesh networks)
Absence of economic incentive scheme for the network transport layer
A compromised decentralization to enhance performance /controllability at expense of equality and scalability
A Cellular Automata powered, decentralized data relay network built on Blockchain &
incentivized by native token
What We Care
How to decentralize networkHow to make each node independent of each otherHow to introduce randomness via defining the rules regulating the interactions between nodesHow to encourage the participation of nodes inside entire networkHow to automate the network
Use centralization to improve efficiencySacrifice the extendibility of network in exchange for expediting consensusPut up barrier and set up privileges in the name of “improving security” Use pure financial tools or trusted 3rd party to solve technical problem
Goal of NKN
Powered by Blockchain and experiment of “NKS”
Connect anyone at anyplace
Secure net neutrality from network layer
Always open and scalable
Efficient and dynamic routing selection
Tokenize data transmission capability to incentivize
participating nodes
Inspirations from NKS
Simple microscopic rules can lead to complex behaviorWolfram’s 4 classes of behaviors to highlight “the Edges of Chaos” for Self-organizationRichness of computational universe The principle of computational equivalence The nature of computational irreducibility
“A New Kind of Science”- Stephen Wolfram
“Non-von-Neumann-style” architecture Network fully decentralizedEqual peers running in parallelDynamic, self-organized and self-evolution Simplicity of rules
Cellular Automata
Cellular Automata & NKN Network
All nodes are equal in the network
Simple Cellular Automata (CA) rule is selected
Every node keeps own CA state, as well as neighbors' CA state
For each cycle, all the nodes will update their CA state autonomously based on the same rule and neighboring states. The links will be adjusted based on their states, therefore the network topology is evolving without changing the underlying infrastructure or protocol
For each network cycle, the node that received data will update its CA state according to the rule and broadcast to neighboring nodes

NKN Foundation
Similar to Filecoin/IPFS but in network domain, we intend to tokenize the participators‘ data transmission capability instead of their storage. NKN’s final distribution ratio is to be determined.
NKN will provide superior connectivity by using Cellular Automata powered dynamic and self-evolutionary network while effectively using Blockchain’snative economic model (Token) to motivate participants to join and expand the network.
