Nexus will be a high-performance Exchange Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for verifiable finance. Our vision is to create a decentralized Internet Exchange — a global, Layer 1 platform where every asset, market, and stream of information is instantly tradable with extreme performance and low latency, powered by a foundation of high-performance verifiable computation based on zero-knowledge proofs. We believe finance is the most important application of verifiable computation, forming the foundation for a new programmable economy.
