This altcoin price surged 50% in July
Nervos Network (CKB), an open-source Blockchain protocol designed for dApps, has been on the rise in the bear market. It was an NFT market announcement that caused the altcoin project to rise. Accordingly, Nervos Network has launched a new NFT marketplace for its users. However, the network also announced that it has released a layer-2 solution it calls Godwoken. The CKB price of the announcements managed to make an impressive 35% gain. According to the data, the cryptocurrency was changing hands at $0.0033 on June 30. By July 5, the selling price had reached $0.005. Accordingly, CKB managed to gain 50% in July alone, despite the low market.
Nervos launches a layer-2 solution
The final price hike for CKB was fired on June 29, when the protocol’s L2 solution “Godwoken” was officially launched on the Nervos Network mainnet. According to the announcement, Godwoken will allow projects built in various sectors of the market to easily create their dApps. It will also work as an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible Optimistic Rollup, allowing it to migrate these dApps to the Nervos Network. The addition of EVM compatibility makes it possible for any project started on Godwoken to run on other EVM chains. So this can help developers increase the reach of their dApps and grow their user base.
