A global invitation to shape the future, one story at a time
Across the world, creators are changing how people learn, think, and engage with technology. Whether it’s a 60-second explainer that demystifies a complex idea or a compelling reel that captures the spirit of a movement, great content sparks understanding — and drives adoption.
Today, we’re excited to launch the Nexus Creator Academy, a new program designed to support and amplify creators exploring the future of crypto, verifiable computation, and emerging financial architectures.
This pilot is a call to help shape the narrative around the next generation of internet infrastructure. And it starts now.
Why we’re launching a Creator Academy
Verifiability is becoming a core primitive of modern systems, from zero-knowledge proofs in finance to open-source governance onchain. But understanding how these tools work — and why they matter — requires more than documentation. It demands creativity, clarity, and community.
The Creator Academy is our way of opening that conversation to anyone with the drive to break down big ideas and build cultural relevance around verifiable systems. Whether you’re a crypto educator, a tech-savvy storyteller, or just someone with a point of view and a phone camera, this program is for you.
What you’ll create
During the three-week pilot, creators will produce a single shortform video (60 seconds or less) on a topic at the intersection of crypto, verifiability, and financial infrastructure. You can choose your own format — explainer, skit, animation, commentary, remix — as long as it’s engaging, informative, and original.
Each week for the next four weeks, we’ll release suggested prompts and keywords to inspire your direction. You’ll publish your video as a YouTube Short, an Instagram Reel, or a TikTok, and then submit a link to your content via a short form, along with a brief explanation of your approach.
The prompt for the first week is “Why the world needs verifiable systems.”
The best pieces will be featured across Nexus channels, including our blog, social accounts, and newsletter. We’re looking for both technical insight and personal voice. All languages are welcome, but please make videos accessible to a global audience by enabling captions or subtitles.
We want to understand the impact of what Nexus is building. Surprise us.

Everyone who submits a high-quality entry will receive a Nexus Creator NFT, recognizing their participation in the founding cohort of the Creator Academy.
What we’re looking for
Educational clarity – Can you explain a complex idea simply and accurately?
Creative expression – Does your piece reflect a unique style, tone, or cultural lens?
Original thinking – Are you advancing the conversation or offering a new perspective?
Vibes – Can you create something that gets people excited about the Nexus vision of the future?
No need to be “crypto famous.” We’re looking for signal over polish and insight and creativity over clout.
Here is a more comprehensive Nexus Content Creator Handbook, which contains the brand guidelines that will be required to follow in order to have a winning submission:
We’re piloting this now because we believe the future of crypto media will be co-created — not just by protocols and platforms, but by the communities that bring them to life.
If you’ve ever wanted to contribute to the space as a storyteller, this is your moment.
