The Nexus Execution Layer: Incrementally Verifiable Computation

What if a blockchain wasn’t just a ledger — but a fully verifiable, distributed supercomputer? This is the premise behind the Nexus Execution Layer. Based on an IVC machine design, the Execution Layer is built to orchestrate and verify vast amounts of computation in real time. The goal is to

Agentic Verifiability and the Future of Online Interactions

As the Internet becomes increasingly agentic — populated by autonomous systems acting on our behalf — the stakes for verifiability, trust, and alignment rise sharply. At ETHSF, Nexus and Nethermind organized a panel discussion as part of a Verifiable Computation event that explored the future of online interactions in the era of

The Verifiable Internet: Trust by Proof

We’ve spent the last three decades building a global digital system without a native way to verify anything. Content is copyable. Identity is spoofable. AI is unaccountable. Even computation — the thing we rely on to automate decisions and enforce contracts — runs invisibly, with no way to prove what happened.

X Space Recap with Jens Groth: Verifiable AI and Startup Mode for Civilization

In a recent Nexus X Space, Nexus Chief Scientist Jens Groth, a pioneer in zero-knowledge cryptography, unpacked what verifiability means in the age of intelligent machines. Building on themes from “Verification in the Age of Exponential Intelligence” and Nexus’s Verifiable AI Lab announcement, the conversation traced the arc from

Infinite Compute, Infinite Security: The Road to the Universal Proof

At Nexus, we’re building a world supercomputer — one capable of proving billions of computations per second. The reason? We need to fundamentally rethink blockchain infrastructure to prepare for the AI age. The Nexus L1 is built for ultra-high performance. It’s also built for access: anyone, anywhere can connect

Seeing the System: Joseph Zhang on Mapping Nexus

When Joseph Zhang joined Nexus a few weeks ago, one of the first projects he got involved with was the launch of a global map interface for the Nexus OS. The new map, which just launched, is not just a visual — it’s a window into the scale and shape

Cryptography, Ethereum, and the Coming Age of Autonomous Agents

At the ETHSF Verifiable Computation: From Zero-Knowledge to Infinite Intelligence, Michal Zajac, Head of Research at Nethermind, offered a compelling vision for how cryptography and Ethereum will converge to drive the next wave of innovation in artificial intelligence and user autonomy.  His central thesis: blockchains aren’t just infrastructure for

Verifiable Identity: A Better Way to Prove Who We Are

Digital identity has never been more important — or more complex. Every action online, from logging into an app to signing a contract, relies on some form of identity. But the systems we use today to establish and verify who we are weren’t designed for the scale, speed, and openness
