Nexus Laboratories Airdrop Guide

Project Overview

Nexus Laboratories is scaling verifiable computation through zero-knowledge cryptography. At its core, the Nexus zkVM runs inside every node, enabling fast, verifiable compute at planetary scale and creating a more secure and trustworthy internet. The project secured $27.2M in total funding, with a Series A round co-led by Lightspeed and Pantera Capital in June 2024, demonstrating strong investor confidence in their vision for the Verifiable Internet.
