China's Blockchain Services Network (BSN) will fully integrate a permissionless blockchain developed by Hangzhou-based Nervos which will allow Chinese developers access to a public chain, a first for the government-backed project.
Why it matters: Nervos's permissionless, or public, protocol will be made available to all BSN's nodes, including those in China. This marks a major change in the BSN'sand by implication, the Chinese government'streatment of public chains.
