Nockchain is a Layer 1 proof-of-work blockchain that integrates zero-knowledge proofs into its mining mechanism, referred to as zkPoW.

The network launched without a pre-mine allocation. Developer tooling has been released, including NockApp and the Jock programming language to support application development. Zorp operates as a separate entity that holds the native NOCK asset, while the Nockchain protocol functions as an independent network.
