Architecture
Learn about the long-term architectural design of Nexus Layer 1. We’ll share more in the coming weeks.
Architecture Overview
The Nexus Layer 1 will consist of four fundamental architectural layers:
1. OS Layer
The Nexus OS is a planetary-scale operating system, designed to host verifiable applications.
The Nexus OS consists of
- The Nexus Virtual Machine — a fork of the EVM
- The Nexus App: app.nexus.xyz, the gateway to the Nexus ecosystem.
2. Execution Layer
The Execution Layer is a planetary-scale verifiable supercomputer.
It is designed for horizontal scalability and ultra-high performance. Its goal is to onboard all of the world’s computational resources to the network, and concentrate them into the Nexus Layer 1, to construct the Universal Proof.
3. Consensus Layer
The Consensus Layer is a planetary-scale consensus supercomputer.
It is designed to synchronize the world’s computers around the Universal Proof. Its goal is to onboard the world’s capital resources, and concentrate them into the layer 1, to protect it and make the supercomputer economically indestructible.
4. Storage Layer
The Storage Layer is a planetary-scale storage supercomputer.
It is designed to store the state of the Nexus Layer 1, and all of its applications.
