NexusEVM
NexusEVM is the EVM execution layer of the Nexus blockchain. 1-second blocks with single-slot finality.
EVM compatibility
Same bytecode — no Nexus-specific compiler flags
Same gas semantics — all 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
Developer experience
Deploy using Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix. Use 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. When NexusCore launches, it will handle exchange functions at a faster block cadence. The two layers will interoperate, allowing any EVM contract to compose with Exchange liquidity.
