What is Nexus?
Nexus is a peer-to-peer network, cryptocurrency, and contract technology, providing open source technology to support public DApps. Nexus was launched in 2014 and was built by a small group of innovative software architects, and is operated by a global decentralized community.
The seven-layered software stack inspired by the internet OSI model powers a register-based virtual machine that can process from 5k to 45k contracts per second. It is designed to be scalable, decentralized, and easy-to-use. In later stages sharding will be implemented that allows the network to grow relative to its node-count.
Developers use standardized APIs to build contracts that facilitate the management of ownership rights and decentralized exchange of assets and tokens.
Nexus has released some exciting developments recently, including a way to access the Nexus Wallet via a decentralized login protocol. It uses a Username, Password and PIN system, which facilitates easy widespread adoption of Cryptocurrency. The technology removes the burden of key management when using DApps, which often require third-party plugins.
