What this is
Physical infrastructureNKN distributes data transmission across ordinary computers: instead of one company's servers, traffic runs through a network of participants who are paid for it. The project has run since 2018 and belongs to the few who built a «network from other people's machines» long before the word DePIN. What this shows: demand for such networks is limited to narrow tasks and the token only grows with real traffic — the coin is nearly a hundred per cent below its April 2021 peak with a market cap around four million. Here it trades on Coinbase spot.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
