Why a New Layer 1?
A New Approach to Infrastructure
As AI agents begin transacting, reasoning, and operating autonomously, the infrastructure that supports them must evolve. Nexus scales with every new participant and is built to support billions of agents transacting in real time.

The Universal Proof is a single zero-knowledge proof that attests to all of the computation contributed to the Nexus Layer 1. This architecture makes it possible to efficiently scale the L1 both horizontally and vertically.
The result is a new type of blockchain – one that gets more performant and more secure with each node that joins.

Architecture for Scale
Nexus runs a zero-knowledge virtual machine inside every node and orchestrates them to work together as a single unit, condensing the entire chain into a single proof: the Universal Proof.
As a result we’re able to decouple execution, consensus, and storage into three independent supercomputer systems.
