Nexus, the corporate constructing a Layer 1 blockchain for the AI period, immediately launched the ultimate testnet, marking the final main milestone earlier than mainnet later this 12 months. Greater than 2.1 million customers and three.6 million nodes contributed over a 5-day interval within the earlier testnet.
Nexus makes it straightforward for anybody to contribute compute energy from any system, even a laptop computer or cellphone. With only one click on, customers can join at app.nexus.xyz to start out incomes rewards and assist scale a verifiable community constructed for the AI financial system.
By providing compute energy, customers strengthen the Nexus blockchain by equipping it with the velocity and scalability required to help AI methods at international scale. In doing so, they assist construct a world the place each motion may be confirmed, each mannequin audited, and each interplay verified.
Customers may run extra highly effective nodes utilizing a streamlined, copy-and-paste command line interface (CLI). An interactive international map reveals lively contributions, and a public leaderboard tracks prime individuals.
“We have to essentially rethink blockchain infrastructure within the age of AI,” stated Daniel Marin, CEO and Founding father of Nexus. “As AI fashions change into extra clever, they’re consuming compute and issuing transactions at exponential charges. How can we generate sufficient compute energy to allow billions of transactions per second, and do it in a method that individuals can belief? The Nexus Layer 1 blockchain is our resolution. It’s a world supercomputer that will get extra highly effective with every related system.”
Below the hood, the Nexus supercomputer is designed to scale verifiable computation by way of a novel Layer 1 structure, the place every node runs safe workloads utilizing zero-knowledge digital machines (zkVMs).
This strategy prioritizes proof over guarantees and unlocks exponential scalability, large efficiency enhancements, and auditability important to energy the following era of AI brokers, purposes, and methods.
Nexus lately launched two new initiatives to make Verifiable AI a actuality and the Nexus ecosystem now contains greater than 50 companions.
The Nexus Verifiable AI Lab is a devoted R&D division targeted on the intersection of verifiability, economics, and synthetic intelligence. The Verifiable Intelligence Alliance brings collectively main establishments to advertise accountable, verifiable AI infrastructure.
That is the ultimate testnet earlier than the Nexus mainnet launch later this 12 months.
