to route traffic. NKN is a CHORD overlay on top of the internet. clients connect to nodes and nodes route traffic from one node to another until the packet reaches its destination. clients stay anonymous (no IP leakage). end-to-end encrypted communication. "Proof-of-Relay" algorithm for mining. consensus via MOCA.

the only state of the art blockchain technology I know of. and they dont even pay me to say this.
