What is Nexus?

Nexus is a modern Layer 1 blockchain built to function as a global decentralized supercomputer. It allows AI agents, dApps, and smart contracts to run securely and privately using zero-knowledge proofs, thanks to its integrated zkVM (Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine).

Currently preparing for Testnet III, Nexus is laying the groundwork for developers and node operators to contribute computing resources, earn rewards, and help build the infrastructure of the verifiable internet.

✨ Key Features 

Nexus combines Layer 1 performance with zero-knowledge technology for a unique blockchain architecture:

  • zkVM execution: Enables complex computation with privacy and proof.
  • Horizontal scalability: Add more nodes to expand network capacity.
  • Verifiable AI compute: Trustless coordination of autonomous agents.
  • Single-source truth: Nexus aims to achieve the Universal Proof.

🧩 Supported Use Cases 

Nexus unlocks the potential for a wide array of blockchain-based innovations:

  • Verifiable AI agents: Autonomous coordination with privacy.
  • Cross-chain computation: Trusted execution across systems.
  • Global commerce: Secure infrastructure for decentralized finance.
  • zkApps: Build next-gen applications leveraging privacy and proofs.
