What is Nervos Network (CKB) and Why It's Discussed in India

CKB is the native token of Nervos Network, an established Layer-1 launched in 2019 that uses Bitcoin-style proof-of-work as a secure store-of-assets base layer. It has repositioned as a Bitcoin scaling layer using RGB++ to add smart contracts without bridges, and CKB pays fees and rewards miners.

The network suffered a 2025 exploit, CKB is down roughly 96% from its 2024 high, and its Bitcoin-tool adoption is early. In India, CKB is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) under the Income-tax Act, so you can legally buy, hold, and sell it.

Buying and holding CKB is not taxed. Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025.

CKB is an established, technically distinctive blockchain with a novel proof-of-work design, a real Bitcoin pivot through RGB++, real token utility, and strong backing. But the network suffered a 2025 exploit, CKB is down roughly 96% from its high, it is partly inflationary, and its Bitcoin-tool adoption is early, so CKB is high-risk.

Nervos has a layered design. Its base layer, the Common Knowledge Base (CKB), works like Bitcoin: energy-based proof-of-work built to store value and data long-term. On top, its RGB++ technology adds smart contracts and asset issuance tied to Bitcoin without risky bridges.

CKB uses a two-part supply: Base issuance rewards miners and halves every four years like Bitcoin, eventually stopping. Secondary issuance adds a fixed amount yearly, working like rent for on-chain storage. The trade-off is mild inflation: holders who just keep CKB are gradually diluted, while those who lock it in the Nervos vault cancel that out.

CoinDCX is considered one of the leading platforms in India, with FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, ISO/IEC certification, direct INR funding via UPI, IMPS, NEFT and RTGS, and published Proof of Reserves.

Enable app-based two-factor authentication rather than SMS, and use a password you have not reused elsewhere. Never share an OTP, seed phrase, or remote screen access. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, check the address and network, and send a small test amount first, because transfers cannot be reversed.
