Q: What is CKB used for?

CKB can be used to pay transaction fees on the Nervos base layer and represents on-chain data storage capacity. Holding more CKB allows more storage space to be occupied on the underlying chain.

Q: Why is CKB related to data storage?

In CKB's design, 1 CKB corresponds to 1 byte of on-chain storage capacity. This means the token is transferable and directly related to the space needed to store state on the base layer.

Q: How is CKB's base issuance structured?

CKB has a total base issuance of 33.6 billion tokens, which halves approximately every four years. Halving affects only base issuance rewards and does not mean other network reward sources stop.

Q: What is CKB's secondary issuance?

In addition to base issuance, CKB has a fixed secondary issuance of 1.344 billion tokens per year to incentivize long-term network security. The portion received by miners varies with how CKB is used and locked on-chain.

Q: What does locking CKB in Nervos DAO do?

Nervos DAO is a smart-contract mechanism in the CKB network. Holders who lock CKB in it can receive compensation related to secondary issuance; one design goal is to reduce the effect of state occupancy on long-term holders.

Why Did Nervos (CKB) Rise in the Last 24 Hours?

From 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-20, CKB’s bid-to-ask depth ratio across the top five order-book levels was 7.03, with about 383,312 CKB in bids versus 54,553 CKB in asks. The imbalance showed substantially more bid-side orders and may have provided short-term support at the time. However, a large order can also be an isolated posting in a shallow book; it does not establish institutional support or accumulation. Without contemporaneous volume and market-snapshot data, it is not possible to confirm that the orders were accompanied by trades or to treat the imbalance as a proven cause of the move. The figures are consistent with order-book imbalance amplifying short-term fluctuations in low liquidity, rather than demonstrating a fundamental or news-driven catalyst.
