Our take
Nexus Labs is creating zero knowledge-powered scaling and privacy tools to support the rapidly changing digital AI landscape. Its solutions include cybersecurity and cloud computing support, all focused on Nexus Labs Nexus Project - a scientific and engineering scheme to enable verifiable computation at internet scale.
This ambitious project has attracted impressive funding from top Silicon Valley Investors. No surprise, considering the far-reaching motive of Nexus Labs: to bring about a new verifiable internet. The Nexus Project is attempting to draw on cryptography, mathematics and computer science to create a general-purpose system for verifiable computation.
There have already been several versions of the Nexus zkVM, and its funding is being channelled into improving its capabilities. The company’s work is cut out for it, but early interest from investors suggests that it will continue to grow.
