context_page_description: NEM is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and blockchain platform launched on March 31, 2015 written in Java.
context_section_description: NEM's design architecture consists of two components. One is the node or NEM Infrastructure Server (NIS). The second is the client used for interacting with the nodes.
  Its cryptocurrency wallet is the NanoWallet built with HTML and Javascript.
  Another client was the NEM Community Client (NCC). The NIS is connected to the P2P network and acts as a gateway for the NCC. The NCC is client software that includes a wallet. The NCC has since been deprecated in favor of the NanoWallet. Both NCC and the NanoWallet can be run isolated from the internet, providing security through an airgap.
