Nockchain

Nockchain is a Layer 1 blockchain that describes itself as the first chain secured by Zero-Knowledge Proof of Work, a design that combines traditional mining competition with zero-knowledge cryptography. The project positions NOCK as scarce, privacy-oriented hard money for users who want transaction confidentiality backed by cryptographic proof rather than by a trusted third party. It was fair-launched in May 2025 with no pre-mine, meaning no tokens were set aside for a founding team or early investors before the public launch.

Rather than miners solving a conventional hash puzzle, nodes on Nockchain compete to produce valid zero-knowledge proofs, and the winner of that competition earns the right to add the next block; the chain records a block time of effectively zero minutes according to the stored data, which suggests blocks are produced on a continuous or near-instantaneous schedule. NOCK is the native token of this network, used to compensate miners and to settle transactions on-chain. The chain is categorized under the Base and Base Ecosystem labels, indicating it also serves as infrastructure on which other applications can be built.

The data provided does not include a fee revenue figure, a protocol fee rate, or any record of fees collected, so fee-based measures such as price-to-fees ratios are not calculable from what this site stores. At the point-in-time snapshot, approximately 54.97 percent of the maximum supply of 4,294,967,296 NOCK had been issued into circulation, leaving a dilution overhang of roughly 81.92 percent relative to fully diluted supply, meaning a meaningful share of tokens that could eventually exist has not yet been mined. The ratio of fully diluted value to current market capitalization stands at 1.82 at the same point in time, reflecting that gap between circulating and maximum supply.
