Nervos has requested that Least Authority perform a security audit of the Nervos Network, an open
source multi-asset, Proof of Work blockchain, featuring a novel consensus scheme called NC-Max.
Nervos is a decentralized application network consisting of a layered architecture, including the layer 1
