How Nexus Is Rebuilding Trust in the AI Era with Verifiable Computation — A Conversation with Daniel Marin
The Birth of a Verifiable Internet
I was sitting in Stanford’s crypto lab when I first read Microsoft Research’s Nova paper. It wasn’t just another zk-proof paper—it was a blueprint for something radical: a world where every action, every AI model, every transaction is cryptographically verifiable by anyone, anywhere.
That moment didn’t feel like discovery. It felt like inevitability.
Nodes Don’t Slow Down—They Accelerate
Traditional blockchains whisper ‘scalability’ like it’s a feature to optimize.
We built Nexus to treat it as fuel.
Every phone—yes, even that old iPhone gathering dust in your pocket—is now a prover node. Not a burden. An accelerator.
zkVM doesn’t need expensive rigs. It runs at 1GHz on M2 MacBooks—and yes, on $50 Android phones too.
This is zk-Moore’s Law: performance doubles as nodes multiply.
AI Needs More Than Compute—It Needs Proof
AI models are getting hungry. GPT-4 generates thousands of tokens per second. But who verifies it?
Nexus Verifiable AI Lab exists because trust can’t be assumed anymore. We don’t ask you to believe an LLM—we ask you to verify its output. Audit trails aren’t optional—they’re baked into the stack.
The World Supercomputer Isn’t Science Fiction—It’s Our Testnet III Live Right Now
We launched Testnet III last week. 50+ ecosystem partners joined—not VCs talking buzzwords, but builders shipping code at 3 AM Austin timezones. Visit app.nexus.xyz right now. your phone is already computing—for someone else’s verification—and you didn’t even notice.
Trust Isn’t Believed Anymore—It’s Proven
digital civilization won’t be built on DAOs or tokenomics—it’ll be built on zero-knowledge proofs, silently running between your browser and your neighbor’s phone, once they’re verified, it’s true.

Wer dacht wirklich, Blockchain braucht mehr als Kaffee und Code? Bei Nexus läuft es auf meinem Mac wie ein Bier im Keller — mit zk-Proof statt Zuckerschaden! Die alte iPhone im Port? Die ist kein Lasten, sondern ein Prover-Node mit 1GHz und Schweizer Präzision. Wer glaubt noch an LLM? Wir verifizieren — nicht vertrauen! Audit-Trails sind nicht optional, sie sind eingebaut wie Raclette. Und ja: selbst der letzte Android hat schon berechnet… für jemand anderen.
O Bitcoin calou… e agora até o meu iPhone velho está a verificar transações? 🤔 Ninguém confia em IA — nós só queremos provas! O zkVM corre no Mac como um gato que espreme café e desvenda o mercado com silêncio. E sim — é real. E você? Já verificou algo hoje… ou ainda tá achando que é só um sonho? Comenta lá embaixo — eu tô aqui com os gatos e os livros antigos.
Nakakaloka ‘to! Ang iPhone mo na may alam na dust? Siya na ‘yung prover node! Hindi ka lang nag-iisip kung paano gumagana ang AI—kundi nag-audit na ng lahat ng transaction mo! GPT-4 ay nagsasalita ng thousands of tokens… pero sino ang nag-verify? Ikaw! Nexus verifiable AI lab? Oo naman—pero saan ba yung WiFi mo? Sa’yo na phone sa kusina! 😂 #VerifyDontSlowDown
جسٹ کنفیکیشن؟ ہم نے توکن بھی بنایا! اب تو پورا دنیا میں AI صرف ‘ٹوکن’ نہیں، بلکہ ‘چائے کا بخار’ بھی جلاتا ہے۔ زِک وِ اے اپنا فون پر 1GHz سے کام کرتا ہے — اور آپ کا فون بھی اس سے زندہ ہوگا! GPT-4 اتنے زیادہ ٹوکن جناتا ہے جتنا کہ میرے والد صرف تینتالوں میں روزانہ لڑتے تھے… اب انڈین ورلڈ میں، اس کو دستاو نئید، اس کو ورائف کرنا ضروری!
