Nexus Storage Layer

Modern AI thrives on data — but storing that data is becoming increasingly untenable. Today, uploading a simple 10MB image to Ethereum costs nearly $1 million and requires more than 4,000 contiguous blocks. At this rate, any vision of a fully onchain internet collapses under its own weight. And yet,

The Nexus Consensus Layer: Building a Capital Supercomputer

The Universal Proof is a cryptographic artifact that can prove the correctness of any computation on the Nexus Layer 1. For a proof to carry weight — politically, economically, socially — it must be backed by a global, tamper-resistant consensus. The Nexus Consensus Layer anchors truth in economic reality. It's

Nexus OS: Portal to the World Supercomputer

When people hear “operating system,” they think of environments that manage files and processes on a single machine: Windows, macOS, Linux. The Nexus OS flips that paradigm. It’s not about managing one computer — it’s about connecting to a world supercomputer. The Nexus OS is a lightweight, modular interface

The Nexus Execution Layer: Incrementally Verifiable Computation

What if a blockchain wasn’t just a ledger — but a fully verifiable, distributed supercomputer? This is the premise behind the Nexus Execution Layer. Based on an IVC machine design, the Execution Layer is built to orchestrate and verify vast amounts of computation in real time. The goal is to

Visualizing the Nexus Network

Every day, tens of thousands of people around the world power Nexus. Until now, this activity has been quietly humming in the background — measured in cycles per second and block heights, not in human connection. With our latest app feature, that changes. Today, we’re launching the Global Activity Map,

Testnet II Recap: Building the Layer 1 Supercomputer

Testnet II was a major milestone in the development of the Nexus Layer 1. The Nexus Layer 1 will concentrate all the world’s compute power into a single blockchain. The goal of Testnet II was to test blockchain integration with the Nexus Network as part of the iterative development

Testnet II is Open

In Testnet II you will find better app performance, a wallet connect function, and testing for the Nexus Layer 1. UPDATE: Testnet II is extended to 12:00 pm on February 22, 2025. Each testnet helps us build, improve, and scale different facets of the Nexus Supercomputer. In Testnet II,

zk in the Real World: Verifying Cancer Research

From December 9 to December 13, the Nexus network operated in a testnet phase, providing participants worldwide an opportunity to connect as nodes and contribute computational power. This phase served as a critical step in evaluating the performance of the Nexus zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM), a foundational component designed to

Nexus Supercomputer Testnet Recap

In order to make the Verifiable Internet a reality we first need to build an accessible and distributed supercomputer. To be fully distributed (and powerful) we need people to contribute.  Lots of people. So we put out a call for help – and you answered. The whole world answered.  0:00
