NKN NKN

What NKN actually is on-chain

NKN is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x5cf04716ba20127f1e2297addcf4b5035000c9eb. That address, not the ticker NKN, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself NKN, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, NKN is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in NKN itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For NKN the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @NKN_ORG. Both a written specification and readable code exist, which is a materially higher bar than most assets in this size range clear. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where NKN sits in the market

Ranked #1527, NKN falls in the middle of the small-cap band. The order book absorbs size poorly at this depth: one meaningful market order can reprice the tape by several percent before it retraces minutes later. A lone static price target therefore fires on noise, and what you want is a condition built to survive that wick. Venue coverage is narrow, which makes volume-based delisting a concrete risk rather than a theoretical one.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 1 live NKN order book (Gate.io). That is thinner coverage than a #1527 ranking would normally imply — a move on one of these books is close to the whole market for NKN, with no deep second venue to arbitrage it back. None of the books we see for NKN are regulated US or Korean venues, so this is an offshore-quoted asset — availability, and the price itself, depend on which jurisdiction you trade from.

NKN against its all-time high

More than 95% separates NKN from its all-time high of $1.44 (on 2021-04-09) — a 278x recovery. At that distance the high stops working as a reference at all; it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and typically a different cycle. What carries information for NKN now is the downside, so read the range section below before this one. It was set 6 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

NKN across its historical range

NKN has traded across a 311x range, between $0.004631 and $1.44. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

At 12.0% above its record low of $0.004631 (on 2026-03-24), NKN sits near the edge of its own price history. Nothing has traded beneath that level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster underneath. Because that low is itself recent, the asset is in an active downtrend rather than sitting at an old floor — each new low invalidates the previous one as a reference.

NKN supply and valuation data

Supply figures for NKN are self-reported at this rank rather than reconciled against the chain, so we publish the valuation we have and not a circulating-supply number we cannot check. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $6.5 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets by fully diluted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset NKN is

NKN is an infrastructure asset — the category that includes oracles, data availability, storage and physical-infrastructure networks. Demand for these is derived rather than direct: it depends on how much is being built on top, which makes revenue steadier but growth slower than in consumer-facing categories. Token value accrual is often the weakest link and is worth verifying before assuming it exists.

CoinGecko files NKN under 3 categories, including Communication, Ethereum Ecosystem, DePIN. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.

How to set a NKN alert that is worth receiving

NKN is the ERC-20 at 0x5cf0…c9eb on Ethereum — quoted on 1 venue we stream — high dated 2021-04-09 — rank #1527. On this profile the condition that carries signal is thresholds anchored to the recent range rather than to the all-time high.
