Mission statement
“Nervos Nation” is a community of long term investors who strongly believe in the future success of Nervos Network. Formed by established community members, Nervos Nation is a non-profit community-driven voice behind Nervos CKB, aimed at addressing several needs in this rapidly growing ecosystem.
1. Community education
At the heart of the Nervos Nation initiative is education, so that the community can easily appreciate the advantages of Nervos in an easy to understand way. A well-informed community is subsequently better at educating others about Nervos.
This is currently being undertaken with the Nervos Nation explainer video series and infographics. Existing videos (https://www.youtube.com/c/NervosNation) are as follows:
- Interoperability: Why Nervos Network will be Key to Crypto Mass Adoption
- Nervos Network is the NEXT BIG platform for blockchain developers: 5 reasons why
- Nervos Network CKB Tokenomics: The Best in Crypto?
- UTXO Alliance: How Nervos Network is working with Cardano and other UTXO blockchains
- Layer 1 Explained: Nervos Network’s Common Knowledge Base (CKB)
- Nervos Network Solves the Blockchain Trilemma: Layer 2s Explained
In development
- Understanding Nervos Network’s “Cell Model”: A Deep Dive
- NC-MAX: The Engine that Powers the Nervos Consensus Model
This proposal will incorporate those educational efforts into a more holistic and generalized approach as a wide-ranging community platform. The aim is to continue to produce on average one educational video per month.
Future planned videos include:
- Explainer on CKB-VM and its use of RISCV
- The life of a CKB transaction
- Explainers of key ecosystem projects such as Dotbit, JoyID, Axon
- “Why CKB” - the ultimate elevator pitch
- The long term economic model and issuance schedule of CKB
2. Community expansion through grassroots activism
A key problem identified in the community is that the size of the community itself is still relatively small, and that Nervos does not regularly feature in the crypto conversations on social media platforms. Therefore, it is essential for the community to further expand by raising awareness across social media regarding the merits of Nervos Network. Nervos Nation aims to spearhead this push through various means:
- Nervos Nation Twitter spaces for regular community oriented chat about Nervos Network. Currently once a month.
- Nervos Nation telegram channel.
- Website for up to date information about all things related to the Nervos ecosystem (www.nervosnation.com - under construction)
- Social media platform presence (Telegram, Reddit, Twitter, Stocktwits, Instagram)
- Contests/giveaways
- Paid promoted content for Youtube (Google ads) and Twitter
Educators
Through a mechanism of incentivised advocacy, Nervos Nation aims to create and mobilize an effective grassroots movement (“educators”) that can promote Nervos effectively and in a coordinated manner across Twitter, Reddit, Telegram, Stocktwits and other platforms. Outreach to onboard more people into the community will be a long but essential process to increase our social media presence.
To this effect, there is a pool of committed activists in the Nervos community who can be utilized. This proposal involves absorbing the current educator programme conducted by the Foundation (Tier A), as well as creating a new rank of educators for greater accessibility to the programme (Tier B). This two-tiered setup will be merit-based; educator performance is monitored on a monthly basis. The best performing educators (as determined by the KPIs below) are allocated to Tier A. This creates an incentive to be proactive and be amongst the top performers.
Educators will be allocated weekly targets using the Notion platform and subject to monthly performance reviews. KPIs to be assessed include: Total volume of social media posts promoting Nervos, volume of posts promoting ongoing initiatives by Nervos and in the community, volume of posts targeting KOLs and influencers.
3. Greater exposure for projects new to Nervos
There is a need for the community to be well-informed and engaged with builders and projects new to Nervos. As a community-led initiative, we believe we can offer exposure to these projects to:
- Educate the community and enable them to be more informed about the details surrounding the project (an essential aide to the ‘DYOR’ mantra)
- Allow builders and creators an opportunity to engage directly with the community and create interest around their projects.
It is hoped that doing so enables greater transparency and more opportunity for scrutiny. Against a backdrop of problems affecting the crypto community, this will ultimately benefit all parties.
Our vision is to utilize our social media presence to be a community resource that is current with the ever expanding Nervos Network ecosystem in its next phase of growth. This will be achieved by conducting:
- Written AMAs
- Guest sessions on the Nervos Nation Twitter spaces
- Social media posts to raise awareness
- Guides/Tutorials
- Reviews
Some of the above services may also involve producing associated ‘self branded’ graphics, assigning a vetted community moderator to assist with mod duties for projects, compiling information from AMAs into blog posts or articles.
With any such exposure we carry the following disclaimer:
Disclaimer: Nervos Nation does not officially endorse any project built on Nervos and we are not providing financial advice. We aim to provide information via AMAs and documentation, and to enable better engagement and transparency with the community. Any financial decisions are the sole responsibility of the individual making them.
4. A path to decentralized community
The growth of community-driven infrastructure is a necessary step towards the path of decentralization. It represents a gradual transfer of responsibility for the growth of Nervos Network from the Foundation to the wider community. This proposal creates a path for the community to continue its work and scale up its operations. As this happens and Nervos Nation becomes financially self-sufficient, it may be possible to further decentralize operations in the form of a DAO that can allocate funds to community ventures accordingly.
Team
Nervos Nation is a community movement first and foremost. A core team exists to push forward the above-mentioned objectives. These are established community members and long-term Nervos advocates, mostly active on Telegram and Twitter.

Fund storage
Our aim, as per the mission statement, is to help stimulate sustained growth and education of the community and to utilize funds to achieve those goals. Funds will be partially converted to stablecoin to protect from volatility. These funds will be held in a multisig wallet (2of3). CKB will be held in a shared L1 account until a L1 multisig becomes available. The ratio of stable to CKB will be 70:30. All addresses will be publicly available.
Funds that are in surplus will be held as reserve to be utilized in future months for increased content or educator output. Accounts will be produced at the end of the 3 month funding period for transparency and accountability.

使命宣言
“Nervos Nation”是一个长期投资者社区,他们坚信Nervos Network未来的成功。Nervos Nation由已建立的社区成员组成,是Nervos CKB背后的非营利性社区驱动的声音,旨在满足这个快速增长的生态系统中的几个需求。
1.社区教育
Nervos Nation计划的核心是教育,以便社区能够以易于理解的方式轻松欣赏Nervos的优势。一个消息灵通的社区随后会更好地教育其他人关于Nervos的知识。
目前正在通过Nervos Nation解释器视频系列和信息图表进行这项工作。现有视频(https://www.youtube.com/c/NervosNation)如下:
- 互操作性:为什么 Nervos 网络将成为加密货币大规模采用的关键
- Nervos Network是区块链开发人员的下一个大平台:5个原因
- Nervos Network CKB Tokenomics: The Best in Crypto?
- UTXO联盟:Nervos Network如何与Cardano和其他UTXO区块链合作
- 第 1 层解释:Nervos Network 的通用知识库 (CKB)
- Nervos 网络解决区块链三难困境:第 2 层解释
开发中
了解Nervos Network的“细胞模型”:深入探讨**
- NC-MAX:为神经共识模型提供动力的引擎**
该提案将这些教育工作纳入更全面和更广泛的方法,作为一个广泛的社区平台。目标是继续平均每月制作一个教育视频。
未来计划的视频包括:
- 关于CKB-VM及其对RISCV的使用的说明
- CKB交易的寿命
- 关键生态系统项目的解释者,如Dotbit,JoyID,Axon。
- “为什么选择CKB” - 终极电梯推介
- CKB的长期经济模式和发行时间表
2.通过基层行动扩大社区
社区中发现的一个关键问题是社区本身的规模仍然相对较小,并且Nervos并不经常出现在社交媒体平台上的加密对话中。因此,社区必须通过在社交媒体上提高对 Nervos Network 优点的认识来进一步扩大。Nervos Nation旨在通过各种方式引领这一推动:
- Nervos Nation Twitter 空间,用于定期关于 Nervos Network 的面向社区的聊天。目前每月一次。
- 神经国家电报频道。
- 有关Nervos生态系统(www.nervosnation.com - 正在建设中)的所有事物的最新信息的网站
- 社交媒体平台的存在(Telegram,Reddit,Twitter,Stocktwits,Instagram)
- 竞赛/赠品
*Youtube(谷歌广告)和Twitter的付费推广内容
教育工作者
通过激励倡导机制,Nervos Nation旨在创建和动员一个有效的草根运动(“教育者”),可以在Twitter,Reddit,Telegram,Stocktwits和其他平台上以有效和协调的方式推广Nervos。让更多人加入社区将是一个漫长但必不可少的过程,以增加我们的社交媒体影响力。
为此,Nervos社区中有一批忠诚的活动家可以利用。该提案涉及吸收基金会目前开展的教育工作者计划(A级),以及创建一个新的教育工作者等级,以便更容易获得该计划(B级)。这种两层设置将基于绩效;每月监测教育工作者的表现。表现最佳的教育工作者(由以下 KPI 确定)被分配到 A 级。这激发了积极主动并成为最佳表现者的动力。
教育工作者将使用Notion 平台分配每周目标,并接受每月绩效评估。要评估的 KPI 包括:宣传 Nervos 的社交媒体帖子总数、宣传 Nervos 和社区中正在进行的举措的帖子数量、针对 KOL 和影响者的帖子数量。
3.为Nervos的新项目提供更大的曝光率
社区需要充分了解并参与 Nervos 的新建筑商和项目。作为一项由社区主导的倡议,我们相信我们可以为以下项目提供以下机会:
- 教育社区,使他们能够更多地了解项目的细节(“DYOR”口头禅的重要助手)
- 让建设者和创作者有机会直接与社区互动,并围绕他们的项目产生兴趣。
希望这样做能够提高透明度和更多的审查机会。在影响加密社区的问题的背景下,这最终将使各方受益。
我们的愿景是利用我们的社交媒体形象成为一种社区资源,与 Nervos 网络生态系统在下一阶段的增长中保持同步。这将通过进行:
- 书面 AMA
- Nervos Nation Twitter 空间上的嘉宾会议
- 社交媒体帖子以提高意识
- 指南/教程
- 评论
上述一些服务还可能涉及制作相关的“自有品牌”图形,指派经过审查的社区版主协助项目的模组职责,将来自 AMA 的信息汇编成博客文章或文章。
对于任何此类风险,我们保留以下免责声明:
免责声明:Nervos Nation不正式认可任何基于Nervos的项目,我们不提供财务建议。我们的目标是通过 AMA 和文档提供信息,并更好地与社区互动和提高透明度。任何财务决策均由做出这些决策的个人全权负责。
4.通往去中心化社区的道路
社区驱动的基础设施的增长是迈向权力下放道路的必要步骤。它代表了Nervos Network发展的责任从基金会逐渐转移到更广泛的社区。该提案为社区继续工作和扩大运营规模开辟了一条途径。随着这种情况的发生,Nervos Nation在财务上变得自给自足,有可能以DAO的形式进一步分散运营,从而相应地将资金分配给社区企业。
团队
Nervos Nation首先是一个社区运动。存在一个核心团队来推进上述目标。这些是成熟的社区成员和长期的Nervos倡导者,主要活跃在[Telegram]和Twitter上。
Neon - 内容创建者(信息图表和视频解释器)。 Twitter
