About

Nexus is a community-driven project with the common vision of a world inspired by innovative and responsible values, expansive technology, and the fundamental quality of connection being ubiquitous, free, and available to everyone.

History

Nexus is aspiring to build a decentralized and uncensored internet - driven by a blockchain-based operating system (LX-OS) and communications protocol (Nexus Protocol), running on a distributed satellite-based mesh network.

Underpinning these services is the Nexus TAO framework, a platform that enables the simplified implementation of smart contracts, DApps, tokens, and assets (NFT’s) through a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

Nexus (NXS) has been mined into existence since September 23rd, 2014 with no ICO or premine. The release of the Tritium Protocol in late 2019 ushered in the era of the TAO Framework being the first of the three major architectural upgrades (Tritium, Amine, & Obsidian). A seven-layered software stack that powers a register-based process virtual machine, serving as a powerful DApp and contract platform creating value across many industries. Development is accessible via an array of industry-specific JSON-based API's including but not limited to: encrypted communication, digital identifiers, supply chain, asset management, cryptography, & tokenization.

Nexus uses post-quantum signature schemes (FALCON), and automated key management functions through a technology called 'Signature Chains'. This technology eliminates key management issues (wallet.dat's) by allowing users to access their accounts with the familiarity of a username, password and PIN.
