Nexus, the company developing a Layer 1 blockchain for the AI era, has launched its final testnet, marking a significant milestone before the mainnet release.
Final Testing Phase
Nexus has introduced its final testnet, which completes a series of trials before the mainnet launch later this year. Over 2.1 million users and 3.6 million nodes participated in the previous testnet.
Technological Features of Nexus
The Nexus blockchain allows users to contribute computational power from any device, including laptops and phones, with simple one-click connectivity. This strengthens the Nexus network, providing the speed and scalability necessary to support AI systems on a global scale. The technology utilizes a unique Layer 1 architecture with zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVM), enabling exponential scalability and high performance.
Initiatives for Responsible AI
In addition to the testnet launch, Nexus announced two new initiatives aimed at making Verifiable AI a reality. The Nexus Verifiable AI Lab will focus on research at the intersection of verifiability, economics, and artificial intelligence. The Verifiable Intelligence Alliance brings together leading institutions to promote responsible and verifiable AI infrastructure.
The launch of the final testnet marks an important step for Nexus as it approaches the creation of a blockchain capable of handling the high computational demands necessary for the further development of artificial intelligence technologies.
