Happy New Year to the Nexus community! As we step into 2026, we’re excited to kick off a strong year ahead with more updates, deeper community participation, and continued progress toward verifiable finance. 2025 was a foundational year for Nexus, and this first community report of 2026 highlights key team updates, content releases, and the incredible creativity and momentum from our global community.
2025 in review
We published a comprehensive recap of 2025, highlighting major milestones including the launch of zkVM 3.0, scaling to over 3 million users across two global testnets, and the strategic shift from proving infrastructure toward building full financial primitives for verifiable finance.
We also released a video recap showcasing what we have achieved: a quadrillion FLOPS of verifiable compute, real workloads running on a global network, major cities, nodes, and builder contributions throughout 2025.
A quadrillion FLOPS of verifiable compute.
Real workloads, running on a real network, powered by a global community of builders.
This was your Nexus Wrapped in 2025. The cities. The nodes. The community.
A new episode of Exponential features the founder of Catchback Cards, Joseph Zhang to explore how crypto infrastructure and verifiable randomness are reshaping real-world asset trading, especially in collectibles and Nexus’s role in enabling this shift.
Upcoming Nexus Chat
Join us for a live X Space featuring Jay Yu from Pantera Capital and Nexus CEO Daniel Marin on Jan 15 to share their insights on key crypto trends and predictions for 2026.
Our community has been sharing an incredible mix of creative and educational content, and the momentum heading into 2026 is incredible. Here are some pieces we’ve been loving:
