Compute Network

The Compute Network is a distributed proof generation system built on the Nexus zkVM. It has been live on Nexus Testnet since 2024. On Nexus Mainnet, it will generate validity proofs of execution batches, so that any party can verify correctness without trusting the operator.

How it works

  1. Execution batches are dispatched to the Compute Network as proof tasks

  2. Prover nodes generate validity proofs using the Nexus zkVM

  3. Completed proofs are submitted on-chain

  4. Any party can verify the proof independently

Proof coverage will expand incrementally and will extend toward full coverage of both NexusCore and NexusEVM.

Economics

Provers will earn proof fees for valid proofs and face slashing for liveness failures. Staking, fee, and slashing parameters are not yet finalized for the Compute Network.
