The Nodle N1, or Nano Computer 1 is a new architecture for web3 native computing, designed for a world of a trillion things. The Nano computer was created to make assets programmable on the Nodle Chain, and create a path towards sub $1 computing. The NanoComputer is printed, instead of assembled, using an eco-friendly based battery designed by Imprint Energy. The rechargeable batteries printed into the N1 use a new zinc based chemistry that have a 92% lower greenhouse gas impact than lithium ion pouch cells (Which are common in electronics like smartphones).

The N1 is web3 native hardware, using an onboard secure element to encrypt and protect customer data. The N1 is powered by an ARM Cortex-M0, running basic “apps” that can communicate with the Nodle Blockchain. The first app that allows the N1 to be located through the Nodle Network has been open sourced here: https://github.com/NodleCode/n1-firmware

With Nodle  Smart Missions, The N1 represents a reference design (built on Renesas Dialog) where hardware will be able to trigger actions on-chain.  Smart Missions will allow applications such as proof-of-delivery or proof-of-attendance using Bluetooth devices to trigger actions. Being fully open, the N1 can even support other networks, like Google’s Finder Network, given the device is registered first on Nodle.

A shipping pallet moving perishable food can now monitor temperature, motion and humidity, then compute that data locally at the edge. It’s these nano streams of data that will make civilization more efficient and allow humans to tackle larger problems as a whole.  

The N1 was designed for logistics use cases in mind, but with an open source, configurable design, nearly anything is possible.
