At Nexus, we’re building verifiable infrastructure to power the next generation of blockchains and AI applications. Today, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Spheron Network — the world’s largest community-powered data center for AI workloads, also known as DePIN compute.
With a global footprint of 610,000+ GPUs and CPUs, 190,000+ total T-Flops, and over 30,000 active compute leases, Spheron brings unmatched distributed compute capacity to the Nexus ecosystem.
How Nexus and Spheron are collaborating
This partnership activates across multiple dimensions:
Strengthening the Nexus Prover Network Spheron will run nodes to support the Nexus prover network, bringing scale, reliability, and resilience to proving at the protocol layer.
Supernoderz for High-Performance CLI Nodes Through Spheron's Supernoderz product, running a high-performance Nexus CLI node will be easier than ever — making it simple for builders and operators to contribute to the network.
Leveraging Spare CPU Capacity Nexus and Spheron will collaborate to apply spare CPU capacity from Spheron’s network directly toward Nexus proving, expanding throughput while optimizing resource efficiency.
GPU Access for Nexus AI Developers As part of this collaboration, Spheron will also serve as a GPU provider for developers building AI applications within the Nexus ecosystem, ensuring access to the compute needed to scale AI × blockchain innovation.
Why this matters
Verifiable computation is the backbone of Nexus. To scale this vision, we need distributed, high-performance compute at a global scale. Spheron delivers exactly that — a community-powered network that transforms underutilized GPUs and CPUs into an engine for proving and AI workloads.
By combining Nexus’ verifiable infrastructure with Spheron's massive compute layer, we are building an ecosystem where:
Proving is faster, cheaper, and more resilient.
Running a Nexus node is accessible to anyone.
AI developers have direct access to the GPUs they need to build transformative applications.
What’s next
The integration of Spheron nodes into the Nexus prover network is already underway, with further collaborations on CPU-based proving and AI developer tooling to follow.
This partnership is a powerful step toward our vision: a verifiable, human-centered internet, powered by scalable compute and open infrastructure.
