币界网报道：Nexus, the company building a layer 1 blockchain for the AI era, today released its final testnet, marking the last major milestone before the mainnet launch later this year. In the previous testnet, over 2.1 million users and 3.6 million nodes contributed over a 5-day period. Nexus makes it easy for anyone to contribute computing power from any device, even a laptop or phone. With a single click, users can connect at app.nexus.xyz to start earning rewards and help scale the verifiable network built for the AI economy. By contributing computing power, users strengthen the Nexus blockchain by equipping it with the speed and scalability needed to support AI systems on a global scale. In doing so, they help build a world where every action can be proven, every model audited, and every interaction verified. Users can also run more powerful nodes using a simplified copy-paste command line interface (CLI). An interactive global map shows active contributions, and a public leaderboard tracks top participants. “In the age of AI, we need to fundamentally rethink blockchain infrastructure,” said Daniel Marin, CEO and founder of Nexus. “As AI models get smarter, they are consuming compute resources and issuing transactions at an exponential rate. How do we generate enough computing power to support billions of transactions per second, and do it in a way that people can trust? The Nexus Layer 1 blockchain is our solution. It’s a world supercomputer that gets more powerful with every connected device.” Under the hood, the Nexus supercomputer is designed to scale verifiable computation through a unique Layer 1 architecture, where every node runs secure workloads using zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVMs). This approach prioritizes proofs over promises and unlocks the exponential scalability, massive performance improvements, and auditability that are critical to the next generation of AI agents, applications, and systems. Nexus recently launched two new initiatives to make verifiable AI a reality, and the Nexus ecosystem now includes more than 50 partners. The Nexus Verifiable AI Lab is a dedicated R&D division focused on the intersection of verifiability, economics, and AI. The Verifiable Intelligence Alliance brings together leading institutions to promote responsible, verifiable AI infrastructure. This is the final testnet before the Nexus mainnet launch later this year. Join the testnet today at app.nexus.xyz, contribute hashrate, and help build a verifiable world. Nexus is building a layer 1 blockchain for the AI era. Nexus has a team of experts in cryptography, research, and engineering who are developing the Nexus layer 1 blockchain and Nexus zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) to create a verifiable world. Nexus is backed by top investors including Blockchain Builders Fund, Dragonfly Capital Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Pantera Capital.
