The Nexus DEX Alpha is live at app.nexus.xyz/trade on Testnet, providing users with early access to explore the platform’s features in a risk-free environment. This is the Alpha version of the Nexus DEX. We actively encourage community feedback and engagement to help shape the product’s evolution. The Nexus DEX Alpha features a test environment to trade BTC-USD perpetual futures contracts with up to 50x leverage.

Architecture

The current Nexus Layer 1 Testnet represents an early Alpha release of the network. It is designed to demonstrate the foundational architecture and experience that will be core to the Nexus ecosystem. However, not all planned features are available at this stage. Many components will be progressively introduced over the coming months as performance and feedback are validated. This environment should be considered experimental and subject to rapid iteration. Performance characteristics, APIs, and system parameters may change without notice during this phase.
