NexusEVM

NexusEVM is the EVM execution layer of the Nexus blockchain — the general-purpose core alongside NexusCore. It produces 1-second blocks with single-slot finality.

EVM compatibility

• Same bytecode — no Nexus-specific compiler flags
• Same gas semantics — standard opcodes cost the same gas as on Ethereum
• Standard JSON-RPC API (eth_sendTransaction, eth_call, etc.)
• Standard toolchains — Solidity, Vyper, Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, OpenZeppelin

Connect

NEX is the native gas token. Add the network in any EVM wallet:

Network	Chain ID	RPC	Explorer
Mainnet	3946	https://mainnet.rpc.nexus.xyz	https://explorer.nexus.xyz
Testnet	3945	https://testnet.rpc.nexus.xyz	https://testnet.explorer.nexus.xyz

See Building on Nexus and Endpoints to start deploying.

Developer experience

Deploy using Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix, with standard libraries (OpenZeppelin, ethers.js, viem, web3.py). When the Exchange launches, EVM contracts will be able to call into Exchange functions atomically within a single transaction.

Role in the system

NexusEVM handles programmable smart-contract execution; NexusCore handles specialized financial execution at a faster cadence. The two layers interoperate, so any EVM contract can compose with NexusCore — and, when the Exchange launches, with Exchange liquidity.
