Nexus Launches Final Testnet Ahead of Mainnet Debut, Engaging 2.1M Users

Nexus, a LAYER 1 blockchain designed for the AI era, has activated its final testnet in preparation for a mainnet launch later this year. The project attracted over 2.1 million users and 3.6 million nodes during a five-day stress test of its previous iteration.

The platform democratizes access to decentralized compute power, allowing participation from devices as simple as laptops or smartphones. Users can connect via app.nexus.xyz to earn rewards while contributing to a network built to verify AI-driven transactions at scale.

CEO Daniel Marin frames the project as essential infrastructure for AI's exponential growth: "We need to fundamentally rethink blockchain infrastructure in the age of AI. The Nexus Layer 1 blockchain is our solution." The network features real-time visualization tools including an interactive global map of node operators and a public leaderboard.
