Description
Zorp is a research and development company, founded in 2022, focused on Nock Zero-Knowledge Proofs. The company is the initial developer of Nockchain, a Layer 1 Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain that utilizes a novel Zero-Knowledge Proof-of-Work (zkPoW) consensus mechanism. Nockchain is designed for high-throughput settlement via an offchain app-rollup model, where applications execute offchain and generate ZKPs for onchain verification. The project emphasizes a 'Fair Launch' with no pre-mine for its native asset, $NOCK. Zorp operates as a treasury company for $NOCK, aiming to accumulate the asset through mining and by building revenue-generating products on the Nockchain ecosystem, such as a decentralized exchange and the Jock programming language. The company has raised seed and pre-seed funding and plans a mainnet launch in 2025.Grant Funding
