What is the Nexus (NEX) coin?

Nexus is a Layer 1 blockchain by Nexus Laboratories, positioned for Verifiable Finance. Every execution runs through the Nexus zkVM, producing a zero-knowledge proof. Proof generation uses a parallelized prover network aggregating compute from GPUs to smartphones. NEX is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, serving as gas and utility for the Nexus network. The Nexus network enshrines a central limit order book exchange, Nexus DEX Alpha, alongside native tokenized U.S. Treasury products for on-chain RWA trading.

When did the Nexus coin launch?

NEX became transferrable at TGE on May 20, 2026. Kraken opened NEX/USD spot trading the same day. Before mainnet, the project ran three public testnets. Testnet I launched in December 2024 and reached about 1.5 million nodes within five days. Testnet II followed in February 2025 with 2.1 million unique users and more than 325,000 smart contracts deployed. A new testnet for that user base activated in June 2025 ahead of mainnet.

What is the Nexus (NEX) token contract address?

The NEX token contract on Ethereum is 0xf57d49646621f563b0b905afc8336923ac569ec5. The token uses 18 decimals and is verifiable on Etherscan. Check this address before any transfer: at least four unrelated crypto projects have used the Nexus or NEX name, including the legacy Nexus Earth (NXS) and Nash (NEX), so ticker lookups alone often surface the wrong asset.

Is Nexus (NEX) the same project as Nexus Mutual or Nexus Earth?

No. Nexus (NEX) is the zero-knowledge Layer 1 developed by Nexus Laboratories, anchored to the Ethereum contract above. Nexus Mutual (NXM) is a separate mutual cover protocol. Nexus Earth (NXS) was a distinct legacy blockchain project. Older low-priced NEX tokens and Nash's NEX ticker are also unrelated assets that share the name.

How many NEX tokens exist in total?

NEX has a fixed maximum supply of 100 trillion tokens, confirmed on-chain via the Etherscan token page and carried on DropsTab. Allocation splits 60% Treasury, 20% Investors, and 20% Team. DropsTab lists no emission schedule for NEX beyond the fixed unlock calendar. The 100-trillion unit count is unusually large for a Layer 1 token, so per-token denominations are small by construction.

What does Nexus's vesting and unlock schedule mean for investors?

Per DropsTab vesting data, the entire 60% Treasury allocation unlocked at TGE on May 20, 2026, so the dominant float has circulated since launch. Investors and Team follow an identical 12-month cliff: the first unlock lands May 20, 2027 at 6.66% of total supply per allocation. DropsTab carries 51 scheduled unlock events running into 2029. After the cliff, the two insider buckets together release roughly 1.11% of total supply every month, a schedule-driven inflation stream on top of the already fully unlocked Treasury float.

Who backed Nexus and how much did Nexus raise?

Per DropsTab fundraising data, Nexus Laboratories raised $25 million in a Series A announced on June 10, 2024. Pantera Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners led the round. Dragonfly Capital, Faction, and Blockchain Founders Fund participated. DropsTab lists this as the project's only tracked funding round, and DropsTab carries no verified valuation for it.

Can you mine NEX or contribute to the Nexus network?

NEX is not mined. Contribution happens through the prover network: participants run the Nexus app or a prover node, and the network logs the computing cycles a machine contributes. Nexus ran point-farming seasons around this mechanic, including Testnet III from June 23, 2025, where logged cycles converted into reward points, and Node Runners Season 2, which ran February 10 to March 24, 2026 and rewarded quests with collectible NFT glyphs. The seasons have ended.

How does Nexus DEX Alpha early access work?

Nexus DEX Alpha is the enshrined central limit order book exchange on the Nexus Layer 1. Nexus Laboratories opened an early-access waitlist on November 14, 2025, with no end date recorded on DropsTab. Access is sequential: Nexus sends access codes to waitlisted users as spots open.

Where can you buy NEX and how is liquidity split?

Spot trading is concentrated on centralized exchanges: Coinbase (NEX/USD) and Kraken (NEX/USD, NEX/EUR) serve fiat markets, Upbit (NEX/USDT) and Bithumb (NEX/KRW) serve Korean flow, and KuCoin, Bitget, and MEXC quote USDT pairs. On-chain liquidity sits in Uniswap V4 pools on Ethereum against USDT, USDC, and WETH, fragmented across several pools of the same pairs. Perpetual futures trade on KuCoin Futures and MEXC Futures.
