We’re excited to announce a partnership with zkVerify. This collaboration focuses on exploring cutting-edge zk proving techniques to enhance the scalability and efficiency of verifiable computation across decentralized networks.

Advancing ZK verification with zkVerify

zkVerify, developed by Horizen Labs, is a decentralized verification layer designed to efficiently scale proof verification. The Nexus zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) enables verifiable computation at Internet scale.

By combining our technologies, we aim to push the boundaries of zk proving and proof verification by making it faster, more cost-effective, and scalable.

Reducing the complexity and cost of generating and verifying proofs enables the advancement of critical high-demand applications like identity verification, decentralized finance (DeFi), and AI inference, where efficiency and speed are paramount.

What this collaboration means for developers

Through this partnership, developers gain access to infrastructure that enhances verifiability and scalability. Key benefits include:

• Efficient verification: Reducing verification costs and improving throughput.
• Scalable computation: The ability to execute large-scale computations while maintaining cryptographic integrity and efficiency.
• Advanced use cases: Enabling complex applications that require frequent or large-scale proof verification, such as privacy-preserving analytics, secure voting, and decentralized identity systems.

Unlocking the potential of verifiable compute

By working together, Nexus and zkVerify are building the foundations for more scalable and efficient verifiable computation. This collaboration will support the next wave of decentralized applications, offering developers tools to build secure, scalable, and high-performance solutions.

Looking ahead

As we explore scaling proof generation and verification together, Nexus and Horizen Labs’ zkVerify are committed to driving innovation in the zero-knowledge space. Stay tuned for updates, milestones, and opportunities to engage as we pave the way for the future of verifiable computing.
