AI agents will drive a new era of automation and intelligence. But without verifiability, this potential risks being undermined by trust gaps and inefficiencies.
At Nexus, we’re architecting the infrastructure for a Verifiable Internet. Today, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Sparsity AI, the Universal Blockchain Acceleration Layer powering the future of decentralized AI and blockchain innovation.
AI agents are transforming industries — from gaming to DeFi to enterprise automation. Yet, their potential is bottlenecked by scalability, security, and trust. Onchain agents face challenges like high transaction costs, privacy risks, and the need for immutable, verifiable outcomes. Without robust infrastructure, these agents can’t deliver on their promise.
That’s where Sparsity AI’s modular proving system and Nexus’ verifiable computing expertise converge.
The solution: Sparsity AI meets Nexus zkVM
Sparsity AI is the AWS for blockchains: A Universal Blockchain Acceleration Layer that optimizes compute, scalability, and composability for decentralized systems. Their modular proving system empowers AI agents to operate efficiently across chains, from Solana to Ethereum.
Through this partnership, we’re exploring:
Customized zk workloads: Nexus will collaborate with Sparsity to tailor zero-knowledge proof workloads for AI agent use cases, ensuring privacy and efficiency.
Nexus zkVM Integration: Sparsity will explore embedding the Nexus zkVM (running inside a Trusted Execution Environment) into their proving system, enabling secure, verifiable computation for on-chain AI agents.
Verifiable Intelligence Alliance: As part of the Nexus Verifiable AI Lab-led consortium, we’ll co-develop standards and infrastructure for verifiable AI, fostering trust and interoperability.
Use cases include:
Autonomous DeFi trading agents with verifiable execution
AI-driven gaming NPCs with on-chain decision-making
Enterprise AI agents for secure, auditable workflows
Why Nexus?
Our mission is to replace assumptions with cryptographic guarantees. Our zkVM and our verifiable computing stack ensure that AI agents’ actions are provable, secure, and scalable. By partnering with Sparsity AI, we’re adding a layer of verifiability to their blockchain acceleration platform, creating a foundation for composable, trustless AI applications.
The goal is to build a verifiable ecosystem where AI agents can thrive.
