Nexus is kicking off February with the continued momentum across our global community.
Activity throughout the month includes our upcoming international meetups, ongoing thought leadership around verifiable finance, new podcast content, and strong participation from community contributors producing analysis, visuals, and creative work aligned with the Nexus vision on verifiable finance. Below is a snapshot of key updates from the Nexus team and the broader community.
Global community events
Proof of Nexus meetup Seoul recap
The Proof of Nexus meetup in Seoul gathered researchers, builders, and community members to discuss verifiable finance.
Nexus CEO Daniel Marin and Nexus Chief Scientist Jens Groth presented Nexus’ technical direction and long-term vision.
It was great meeting everyone and sharing our vision for verifiable finance at last night’s Proof of Nexus meetup in Seoul feat. @danielmarinq and @JensGroth16
Nexus announced another three meetups in China, including Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, continuing regional engagement and expanding our ecosystem across Asia.
We published an analysis on how stablecoins unintentionally recreated extractive banking models and introduced yield streaming as a framework that routes value directly to protocols and builders.
Stablecoins weren’t supposed to recreate banking. But they did, and made it more extractive.
Today, issuers capture billions in risk-free yield while users and applications get nothing.
The next frontier for DeFi isn’t just yield-bearing tokens, but yield streaming: routing…
We also published a technical blog explaining enshrinement as integrating core application logic directly into the protocol and described how advances in proving technology make this viable.
Enshrinement = moving core app logic from smart contracts into the protocol itself.
A new Exponential podcast episode featured Pecan AI CEO Zohar Bronfman discussing predictive AI, decision-making, and its differences from generative AI.
Community contributor @Ju1i_crypto provided a detailed summary of the Messari report examining how Nexus shifts financial infrastructure toward verifiable proof models.
Finance still runs on trust that can’t really be verified. In a new Messari report, analysts break down how @NexusLabs is trying to close that gap and turn correctness into something you can observe, not just assume.
Community member @ferdo717 created promotional content supporting awareness for upcoming Proof of Nexus events.
Proof of Nexus Meetup 3.0 in Shenzhen
. @NexusLabs is bringing @JensGroth16 and @danielmarinq to China together with @OpenBuildxyz for a deep dive into the core architecture of Verifiable Finance, zkVM 3.0, and the future of trustless computation.
@ucanseeofficial explained how Nexus rebuilds financial trust through verifiable cryptography.
Nexus Rebuilds Financial Trust
Finance runs on trust we cannot verify. Balances exist because databases say so, trades clear because institutions approve them, and failures cascade when that trust breaks.@NexusLabs changes this with verifiable finance, where computation,… pic.twitter.com/oAhsZqODpL
Nexus is a high performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for verifiable finance. It powers a global Internet Exchange where every asset, market, and financial stream can be traded instantly, trustlessly. pic.twitter.com/htHrsQuNal
@S_tranik highlighted Nexus as a ZK-based Layer 1 infrastructure for global finance.
Infrastructure combining a supercomputer with zero-knowledge proofs and high-performance computing!@NexusLabs -based on speed, transparency, and algorithm calculations for global financial infrastructure🦾 ▶️revolution in technology and security in Web3✨ pic.twitter.com/KpQzrPnRrB
@k2sbhaii shared a design-focused graphic explaining Nexus’s approach to coordination, incentives, and resilient composability.
Most systems collapse not because of scale, but because coordination breaks first
✧ More users ✧ More nodes ✧ More incentives ✧ More edge cases@NexusLabs is designed around one brutal reality: distributed systems fail at the seams, not the center
It's indeed masterpiece article featuring how zero-knowledge proofs are indeed experiencing a resurgence, with techniques from the 2000s-era e-voting systems now being applied to cutting-edge zkVMs.This… pic.twitter.com/lceosaZoAF
@Ju1i_crypto published a detailed breakdown explaining NexusCore’s enshrined co-processors and their role in enabling CEX-level performance with onchain verifiability.
Blockchains have long struggled with the speed and predictability needed to run real financial markets. NexusCore is an attempt to close that gap. It’s part of the @NexusLabs L1, where instead of a single shared virtual machine you get built-in financial engines designed for… https://t.co/3vNJPgbwbFpic.twitter.com/zV2AMW5hXR
Nexus is a literal game-changer! They’re building the first universal supercomputer powered by zkVM. Here’s why it’s huge: ✅ Dev-friendly: Write in Rust. ✅ Performance: Fastest ZK proof generation. ✅ Scale: Harnessing millions of devices. @NexusLabs@briwhozepic.twitter.com/UKPnTKmNcH
