Nockchain is a solid-state blockchain: meaning we have implemented its consensus logic as a functional state machine on a solid-state runtime.

The runtime automatically persists the state machine, and allows for direct functional, by-value reference to arbitrarily sized data, even data too large for working memory. This allows for extremely straightforward specification and implementation of the blockchain's consensus and transaction validation logic.

Nockchain is also a NockApp. The NockApp framework allows developers to use the same infrastructure we developed for NockChain to leverage all of the advantages of Nock computation.
