Tokens and Bridges

NEX

NEX is the native token of the Nexus blockchain; gas is paid in NEX. WNEX is the wrapped ERC-20 version of NEX on the Nexus blockchain, and on Ethereum NEX also exists as an ERC-20. See NEX for details.

USDX (In Development)

USDX will be the margin and quote currency of the Nexus Exchange — traders will use it to open positions and settle trades. It is in development in collaboration with M0 Protocol.

Bridging

NEX moves across chains through two mechanisms:

• The canonical NEX bridge connects the Nexus blockchain and Ethereum.
• A Hyperlane Warp Route connects Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC): NEX is locked on Ethereum and a synthetic NEX is minted on BSC.

See Bridging for contracts and step-by-step instructions.
