Nexus is billing it as “the world’s super computer”. L1 ambitions are fully displayed as they give up the final Testnet before the launch of Mainnet, later this year.
Anyone can join Network In a few clicks from any device, contribute to the Compute Power to help build what Nexus calls “a verified world”.
What is the “super computer of the world”, you might ask? It is a new approach, according to CEO and founder Daniel Marin:
“The goal is to build the largest computer system ever distributed, and part of the reason we do this is that we are trying to assemble the computing power to build Blockchain with a new structure,” Marin told BlockWorks.
Nexus It combines familiar ideas Of other sophisticated chains, but it merges it into one layer of opinion 1.
Like a Mina protocol, Nexus aims to intensify all cases of Blockchain Mena uses lubrication zammar For continuous proofs, Nexus depends on the RISC-V-based ZKVM to deal with the most complicated work burdens, including artificial intelligence inference. RIC-V ZKVM reminds us of RISC Zero, enabling the rust icon for general purposes in general, but Nexus makes this VM an original part of its chain, not just a service layer. Ethereum may eventually be itself Go in this direction.
For data available, NEXUS plan DA Standard Model in CelestiaWhile his consensus will develop from the current and Cometbft common use (Formerly first) towards Hotsturf-2, making it similar to apartment or but. These consensus protocols provide fast finals – in the case of Nexus, and the coordination of the internationally distributed tasks.
Then the Nexus bakes into a decentralized mathematical cloud directly in L1, and converting each device connected to a part of one computer that can be verified based on Gradually verified account (IVC) machine. VM generates brief evidence for each mathematical step, integrating these proofs through a spread similar to DAG, and combining them in one global guide. NEXUS is used Stwo (Circle Stark) Samples.
This is a lot of tuning words, but TL; DR is this theoretical architecture that allows horizontal expansion – every additional node increases network productivity.
On the encryption front, Nexus tells the participation of heavy characters such as Gens Groth and Michelle Abdel ElaVirting of its accreditation data in zero knowledge research and Blockchain research.
It is not all theory. Last week, Nexus activated the third and last Testnet, and its Mainnet is targeted for the Q3.
Nexus demands more than 2.1 million unique users across various Testnets, Reserve By discovering Sebil. About 4000 active accounts today, Nexus’ Block explorer He appears.
For Marin, there is Nexus for Blockchains restrictions “because it is impossible to build any meaning of today.”
Marin said: “Our assumption since the beginning of the company is that coding on Blockchain or coding on ZKVM should feel that it cannot be distinguished from coding on your computer.”
The protocol is to improve speed, not decentralization.
“We want to be decentralized in the long run, [but] We do not want to be disgraced at all at all, and in fact, on the contrary, “Marine continued.” So it is a little philosophical that would disturb some people. “
In the short term, the Nexus team targets quarterly versions, and shoots the modern goal of being an infrastructure for the era of artificial intelligence.
“We want users to feel,” Marin said, “We want users,” we want users, “we want users,” we want users to feel, “we want users,” we want users to feel, “We want users,” We want users, ” We are part of a society and a network, I can see other applications in the ecosystem, and I can do tasks and enjoy. “
