We’re proud to announce a new partnership with StarkWare, the trailblazers behind STARK-based zero-knowledge proofs. This collaboration helps us advance the performance, privacy, and scalability of verified computation across the Nexus ecosystem.
Nexus is building the world’s most powerful supercomputer. As part of that mission, The Nexus zkVM 3.0 release leveraged StarkWare’s STWO Prover, enabling a 1000x speed increase in proof generation compared to zkVM 2.0.
This strategic alliance ensures that future iterations of the Nexus zkVM will remain at the cutting edge, supported by a team with unmatched expertise in zero-knowledge technology.
Unlocking new frontiers with STARK-based proving
StarkWare has long stood at the forefront of zk innovation, powering scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving solutions across Web3. By integrating StarkWare’s industry-leading prover technology, Nexus can dramatically accelerate zkVM performance while reinforcing the integrity of its verifiable computation model.
With this partnership, we’re laying the groundwork for:
Ultra-fast zk proving: This partnership grants developers blazing-fast proof generation for data-heavy applications.
Future-ready zkVM upgrades: Nexus zkVM will evolve in close collaboration with StarkWare, ensuring ongoing compatibility with emerging performance breakthroughs.
Enhanced scalability and privacy: Together, we’re optimizing for a world where privacy and scale don’t need to be trade-offs, but default features.
Built by pioneers, backed by proof
StarkWare’s tagline, “Bringing scalability, security, and privacy to a blockchain near you,” perfectly aligns with our vision for the Verifiable Internet. Nexus and StarkWare share a deep commitment to pushing the limits of zero-knowledge infrastructure, and our shared work will benefit developers, researchers, and users alike.
This collaboration not only amplifies the Nexus zkVM but sets the stage for even more performant applications in DeFi, AI, DePIN, and beyond.
Join us in scaling the Verifiable Internet
Nexus continues to collaborate with best-in-class compute providers to unlock applications across AI, blockchain, and verifiable computing. Get in touch if you’re building something that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible.
